Ha! I took them off so Discount Tire could mount the new tires. Last time DT re-installed the rings, they stripped threads on a mounting screw. So now I remove/re-install the rings myself.
I've been fabricating a lot of parts for my second 4runner project. I almost finished my first when it was totaled after someone ran a stop sign and the only pic I have is of the accident. So I thought I'd document more this time.
