wheel sources in vages


Since I used Golfcart hubs for my buggy. The plan was to ship/fly the buggy without the wheels then pick up some locally.
Since Norther Tool dose not have any stores west of Texas I am not sure ware to look.

Are there any ag/farm supply stores similar to Northern tool in or around Vegas?

I may have a world speed record kite but I am lacking speed record skills. I,l let the buggy pros handle that.
I am hoping for an out & back though.:smilegrin:

Check out those vapors in his quiver! You have a very nice playa quiver. Small steps between the small kites. Silver eagle, you'll be surprised how easy the speed will come. What's your personal best so far?

That will be a leisure cruise with your 3.5 on the playa with only barely blowing winds. Hope to see you again in April.

Hey Sailor,
When you say "wheels" do you mean the rims or the tires?
The rims look like pretty ordinary trailer rims.
Available from most places that sell trailers or cater to those with trailers.
The tires look a bit stiff for the playa.
The page didn't say if they were 2-ply or 4-ply.
We use 4-ply tires out on the playa.
Bring your rims and acquire tires here.
The tire sizes are standard.
The square shoulder tire shown is also not generally used out here.
We tend to prefer 4-ply "smooth implement" 4.80/4.00 x 8 tires.
They have rounded shoulders and no tread has been cut into the tire.
The standard 'barrow-style tire with minimal tread are also available.


Safen Up! Buggy On!
