Shipping wheels

A couple of years ago, I bought a wheel off an eBay seller, and it arrived poorly packed and bent.

So, this morning I was trying to figure out pack a wheel up for shipment, when I had this idea.

I had a TV box to throw out, when I realized that it would be almost perfect for the job...

Just cut down the box and packing a little bit:





Used a strap to hold it all together while cutting the box down a little:

Looks good. I am very particular about packaging. If there is movement inside the box you can wind up with damage. I have shipped my $2,000.00 billet cylinders to Europe, Africa, Canada, New Zealand and Australia with absolutely no damage. Had to spend a good bit of time developing a repeatable packaging system.

Nay I say, if that man taught his kids the meaning of Kookaloo by sharing daring stories and giving rides to make their hearts fill with the essence of the FJ then I say they will jump for joy. The kind of joy that comes from the love of our FJs.

If all else fails then maybe his kids are older and could be happy for him to at least get a rim job.....

Monkey seem to have gone all 'Confucius' on your ass!!
A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!
