The "new-old" wheel and tire combo
16x8 4"bs wagon wheels
The making of the traction bars. I used 3/4" heim joints with 4x weld in tube nuts ( 2x left and 2x right ) and I used 1-1/4 x .120 wall DOM Tubing for the bars, then I made a few different templates out of cardboard for the brackets, which I then transferred onto thin steel to make my patterns then I made everything from 3/16" mild steel plate and welded the drop brackets to the original leaf spring u-bolt mounts.
TIG the ends on and smooth the welds
Painted bars
