Today I made a trip to Laguna Beach. Thanks to Milo for the lead on the Craigslist page for the PW rims and Power King tires.

So I drive down first thing this morning, make it there by noon. Meet Billy, helluva nice guy. Turn out hies the one that bought the "The Jaeger Machine Co" green and black PW.

Anyway, after a short visit and loading the tires, I headed for home anxious to get em mounted and see if the death shimmy had finally died.

Four hours home, 480 miles in 7.5 hours. Got home and started right away removing the rims and NDTs.

Put the new Power Kings and rims on, tightened em down, shuffled some vehicles to get er outta her spot. And off I go.

Starting to get dark, turn the headlights on, and just then the windshield regulator or tape or wheel fails and slams the windshield back down, I think it sliced or scraped wires cuz now I don't have ANY lights except turn signals. I don't care, Im driving!!

Get out on a long road between Visalia and Tulare, no lights. no stops, long open road. Going, going, GOING, GOING GOING, Im getting up there!!! So I reach over and grab my iPhone, open the speedometer app, and let it catch up………..56 MPH!!!!!!!!!! AND NO SHIMMY WWOOOOOO HHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Reach Tulare, turn around and come back on the same road……… 56 consistently, tapped on 57 and hit a 58 for a split second!!! AND STILL NO DEATH SHIMMY!!!!

Its amazing what a non bent rim can do!!! lol

So, now to move on, the death shiny has died!! Now to find the problem with the lights!

Ill post pics as soon as I get em off my phone
