Before you fork out coin and carry extra weight Phil check post #12 here mate. I’m sure you carry a long handled shovel. Give it a crack in the shed. Easy peasy Janapese mate.

Thanks Plassy, I know a bloke with a new GU that wants to add some weight, so he can carry it and I use it - simples!!!! Ultimately its got to work and be easy. Changing wheels is a handful at the best of times, and I can use it in the shed as well.

Mate you can use the shovel method in the shed, on the driveway, in the bush too. It really is effortless! Give it a crack. I was amazed when shown.

Edit US $239 for that roller? You’d need your head read mate.

I will try the shovel, cost is irrelevant if it works and is effortless.

Yuk, last can of CD I tried to drink ended up on the grass, which it killed.

I am looking at one of these, a wheel lifter and rotator that will take the effort out of changing those heavy tires - getting a bit past this and looking for some mechanical help. Just waiting on freight cost, and yes its in bloody USD.

I carry a load spreader plyboard for the jack so it can easily be located and rolled for final placement.

That's why I run 32s.

Yeah, check out the shovel method as plassy mentioned, it could save you a few $$$

Confirming here the shovel methodology works a treat, even on 200kg + loader tyres as long as it’s a decent quality shovel. One foot on the shovel and a serious Mexican AFL hip & shoulder gets their rim centers onto the fully floating axle hubs ready for a final little pry bar Rotate/Lift/Liverpool Kiss onto studs

YALE, is another good brand of tyre swapping ease that can assist when our Adventure Undie Bugs kick in. Merely hydraulic leverage operation for perfect ground height tyre variations.
Struggling to justify carrying the additional weight on the ute though and a little peeved off they never considered adding a light weight dunny hole digging function too

Ordered today.... Front & Rear Delios rotors (Marks Adaptors). Braided brake lines all around (marks Adaptors). Caliper rebuild kits. Factory brake pads. Ive been concerned about spongy brakes for too long. Time to fix it. I hope.

I found the braided lines made a significant difference. I found the standard nissan pads also worked very well, and attribute both of them to me passing the 44 emerg braking stops that were part of the GVM upgrade process.
