Flipped the fronts...

[hawkster0001]

well im currently in the procces of flipping my front rims, and my tires hit my nerfs when i turn, i really like the way the stance is flipped, so i am gonna try to make some brackets that bolt to my nerfs, and move them back an inch or so. and one question, how hard is it to do vavle stems? does it require breaking the bead and doing work fomr the inside of the tire, or can you just pull the old ones out and install the new ones?

Break the bead and install a stem upside down in the original location,drill the hole for the new stem opposite of the original on the other side and install the new stem.

Why not just air the tires up from the inside?

Why not just air the tires up from the inside?

the valve stems will hit the calipers. the alternative to drilling another hole is to get flush mout valve stems like they use on bling rims for cars. this is what i used when i converted my blaster to front disk brakes and what im putting on my warrior soon.

first i will work on the nerf bars and getting them out of the wya, hten if iam succefull in that i will pick up som new vlave stems and put the originals in backwards liek baddawg said, i should have no problem breaking the bead, all ill have to do is get a couple boards, take the air out of the tire and put two boads on the tire and one across those and put it in my press. but this is all dependent on whether or not i can get those nerfs outta the way. which i may not get around to til tuesday

These ar eth valve stems I happened to find mixed in with the rest at my work. they sit flush, and have a little screw on cap to keep dirt n stuff out.
The downside, is likely have to pull the tires to add air, but Im gona figure something out/rig up a line/check dealy so I dont have to. although it doesnt hurt to have to pull the tire from time to time and check things.

And the new stance.. everythings stock chassis/suspension wise aside from flippin the rims around.

all in due time! haha.. to many other things to worry about first.. rims, skid plates, twist throttle, frnt bumper.. lol I want somethign better lightwise for sure.. I still wonder how much the stock system can handle..

maybe 60watts? use halogen/xenon/plasma or whatever, 100wat bulbs only use around 50-60wats I think.
