Default Finally Mostly Done...

So this week my parts arrived for me to upgrade the tires and clearance on my Manco Intruder. So this is what I've done.

1. I was high bid on a pair of 4x4" wheel hubs from BMI on Ebay. Total cost was $30.28 with shipping.

2. Locally on Craigslist I found someone selling 4x4" to 4x110mm wheel adapters, $40 a smoking deal considering on Ebay and elsewhere on the net they were $80-$100.

3. I used two 19x7x8 I had from an ATV I bought for a $100 for spare parts for one of the chinese quads I currently own. So I really cant charge for these, they are essentially found.

I spent approximately 1.5 hours and no welding.

I am very pleased overall. I have an extra 2" of ground clearance and the cart looks a little "meaner". The only downside is the cart is a little harder to turn, but that is minor compared to the benefits.

I am just now waiting for new front shocks to improve the ride and eliminate the "Pogo Effect".

Thanks again for the help and the advice. See ya around.
