Very sad day. :-( I had dreams of driving my little buggy from Alaska to California this winter to hopefully play with it at the Baja 1000 race in November and the King of the Hammers race in February. Unfortunately it took so long to convince the wife that i ran out of time to make it ready and had to put him away for the winter. Made new door covers to keep me warm... Started inner door panels... Even tested out (slightly) smaller tires for the drive. (205/75 r14)... Turns out... narrower tires, bent wheels (3) from playing too hard this summer, and no front swaybar were too much. Steering is a nightmare. I guess with the larger, wider tires it "balanced" everything just right so I never noticed. But since they are technically UTV tires I wouldn't trust them on a 8,000 mile trip. So, to bed he goes until next summer. The bright side of this whole thing is that we are still going down to the KOH race, so now I can find another Justy in the states to bring back and make a clean, street ride! If you have a clean one for sale, you might be getting a call with a 907 area code. ;-)

They are Bassett wheels I ordered off of Summit Racing. They have a few selections in the 4x100 bolt pattern. I went with the Bassetts since I am a little rough with mine (they are NOT DOT legal). Next summer I'm looking forward to a nicer street set. :-)

I'm actually driving my justy up next summer to alaska. I drove a 2003 focus hatch down from alaska to california in the winter so going up in the summer should be alot easier haha. Love your build man! Hope to see it some day and maybe trade ideas.

I love the Rally Look so that is what I am going for it is my everyday commuter car so cant get to crazy with it lol. Would some of these wheels work. It is asking me stuff like wheel width and bore circle size do you know what will work for my 1991 3door 4WD. It has 13in wheels right now. But want to put 14" wheels and cut the fenders out. Do you recommend Fender flares? and If so what ones? www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/wheels/wheel-bolt-pattern/4-x-100mm?N=4294920860%2B4294920840%2B4294915423&SortBy=DisplayPrice&SortOrder=AscendingThanks for your Time Aaron

Well that really sucks... I just saw a few pictures of my Justy on some Pintrest boards and thought "I need to post some updated ones". However... I use Photobucket and didn't realize they changed to a "pay for 3rd party" system. So checked the website because "Why not. I can afford a few dollars a year..." WHAT?!? $40 a month or $400 a year?!? ummm... my pictures aren't that important. Oh well. :-(

Aha! So, that's what happened. Any chance you have your pics anywhere else? I would love to see some of your build. I am attempting a 2" lift with 12" tires and Kanati Mongrel tires on my '91 ECVT 4wd.

If you click on the image, or lack there of, it should link you to the album that photo was from and you can still click through it.
