EDIT : I am in the hunt for some black schedule 40 steel pipe as I am going to have a couple bumpers made up for my truck so looking for some 2" black sched 40 steel pipe or the like,no wimpy stuff wanted...




Looking for one of these in the pic below,if it has to have a 265/70/16 mounted great,if not great...I want it.

Does not have to be perfect cosmetically,just structurally safe.



Thanks !

Jim


EDIT: O.K...... well for now anybody want to swap spare tires ?

I am running 265/75/16 and have a real nice ( looks like at least 80% remaining ) 245/75/16 michelin XT ( I think ?....it is not here at the moment,will update tomorrow at lunch. ) ,so if ya have a 265 and need a 245 on a dodge ram 1500 5 bolt wheel,plain jane steel wheel with a beautiful rusty pattern only made after years of hard work by mother nature.......

If you don't find one here try U Pull R Parts.

I got a bent rim on my Olds. They don't have it, but can get it.

This place is HUGE with parts.

Yea going to wait till a last resort before paying that much for one,these yards are getting crazy these days,johns auto charges you to go into the yard to pull your own part......

I think every yard around the cities charges just to pull your own part these days. Get your moneys worth, make sure and pull all the fuses you will ever need plus and many nuts and bolts as you can to replace dropped/lost/stripped bolts.

used rim for me is $100...

New is almost $400. EACH

Thinking steel rims from the u-pull-it for $25 each might be in line....

When did John's start charging you to pull your own parts?

They've got a whole warehouse full of the popular parts already pulled, but if it's still on the carcass, they've never said I had to pay to go get it off myself. That's not to say they're cheap, but sometimes having one is better than not having one.

+1 for french lake. That place is awesome. I once got upgraded anti-sway bars (front and rear) for an rx7 for 25 bucks with the mounts and everything. They didn't believe me they were aftermarket even though the paint was still bright red and the bushings were hardly dirty. Made $150 bucks off those when I parted the car out later.

Thanks dean but yet again,$80 - $100 for used common wheel when that is probably about what they paid for the truck it came off of.....

Anybody want to start our own yard,we can make a fortune !!!

Ouch - yeah - it's hit and miss sometimes. I've had some luck using it. Sometimes you need to expand the geographic range and you get more hits.

I've been looking for a bumper skin and some places want $300 for a scratched used one which is what a new one costs from the dealer.
