You can read about how I did it, here in this post!4x4 Explorer said:Nice accent to wheels, and certainly not gaudy. Fits with the rest of truck very well.
Are covers readily available? And do they only fit 404 or other 400 series Mogs? I take it that you used M-B star from something else? How about a little "how to" from you or Von.
Actually Kenny's use of smaller MB insignia is the ticket here. These look much less BlingyVON said:Kenny, .... Now don't take it to heart when CoachGeo tells you that its too much bling and is not needed! and to take it off!
What people really need to do is add a steel guard in front of the tire valve stem, like the Mogs designed for logging work. You're much more likely to scrub off a valve stem in the rocks then ding the lugs. The result would be instant deflation and possible a de-bead.coachgeo said:Still not real practical though. Odd's are you'll never get anywhere near the lug nuts in the rocks.
Thats why you use rubber valve stems. Won't stop the problem but it helps alot. Doing a protector at just the valve stem can create a wheel balance issue. Not a problem for slow moving logging mogs. Big problem for those that drive on the highway.Mogasaurus said:What people really need to do is add a steel guard in front of the tire valve stem, like the Mogs designed for logging work.

Well, yeah - of coursecoachgeo said:Thats why you use rubber valve stems. Won't stop the problem but it helps alot. Doing a protector at just the valve stem can create a wheel balance issue. Not a problem for slow moving logging mogs. Big problem for those that drive on the highway.
Well, I suppose, but my Rover has military wheels which have the stem a lot farther inboard then the Mog wheels. I think the issue with me has always been random wood debris getting in there from running though forest trails. Those sticks and splintered tree trunk ends are hell on soft squishy partscoachgeo said:It's a catch 22 thing. If you rip them off often like Mogasaurus then it makes since. Mogasaurus, can you drill new holes and put your Valve steem deeper inboard?
