Wonder how far he is moving it? That tire and fender aren't getting along well, so it won't be pretty if too far. Link to post Share on other sites

By someone with more puter savvy than me obviously. The welded strap should hold much better than that motorcycle tie down. Link to post Share on other sites

stretch cab 95 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 They marked the strap with paint to not forget to remove it. I'm thinking that wasn't necessary. Link to post Share on other sites

You gotta admit that it's better than nothing and in a funny kind of way I have to admire his thinking especially if the cage were anchored to the floor. Link to post Share on other sites

I would guess that the boss pointed to the cage and told the newbie that it was for protection In case the wheel popped open and not knowing any better this was how he saw it. "Here, roll this tire over there and put air in it, the cage is to protect you form exploding wheels". 1 Link to post Share on other sites
