12 bolt h1 build with Pitbull Rockers

[jtr]

I did the same thing with 8 bolt wheels. IIRC you get 3.5" BS out of those. My home welded ones run true enough on the road as well. There is a nice lip in the wheel on 8-bolt to press it againt for trueness.

What exact router bit did you use on your PVC inners? I did something similar on one insert so far with a grinder.

What exact size pipe is it, i.e. 16" SDR 18....? The PVC I scrounged up seems to be a 1/16" too small to fit over the inner wheel on the 8-bolts. I have to persuade it on and off.

Mine do not come off easliy either, it is such a tight fit that if you do not drill some holes in the PVC no air will get into the tire area.
PVC was 16" water main, I thought it was too small too but all the research I did said I had the right stuff.

The bit was a 1/2" round over like this.

Another note. These things are heavy.

My Jeep weighed 4940 lbs with old tires and wheels.

Now it weighs 5300.

Additional 360 lbs or 90 lbs per corner.

very cool, and yep, they are SUPER heavy

So you put a round corner on it instead of the magic 13 degrees, or whatever that number is. (can't remeber without looking it up)

Holding air well? Without my inserts I may have 1lb leak over 1 month.

Yeah it is round, no magic 13 degress. Holding air great, found the key is getting everything clean with soapy water. I cleaned all mating surfaces with sponge and soaked the o-rings in the same bucket with warm soapy water.

Nice write up, good job.

Just for reference. This past weekend I cut some PVC inserts the same 6.75" width for my 8-Bolt H1's with 42" Rockers and it seems to be about the perfect width.

Going to River Rock this coming weekend, I will try and get some more pics of how good the tires look.
