You can also take a small white paint pen or sharpie and make a mark from the bolt onto the rim. If the bolt moves the marks don't line up. You see this a lot on heavy equipment.

Could you have just removed the outer wheel and left the inner wheel on? Or do the lugs pass through both wheels?

No the studs go though both wheels, and the lug nut clamps both in place. And the studs had snapped off. It wasn't a lot of fun....

Did you ever figure out your issue with it popping out of 4wd? From the pictures in your other thread, it looked like the shifter / floor clearance was pretty tight.

I think so, it seems the spring which forces the shifter back up so that little pin is captured in the right spot is tired. If I give the shifter a tug upwards it seems to stay in just fine. But yes, the shifter clearance is really tight. It doesn't like to go into 4lo

Yeah its a bit beat.... I think it must have been parked when the county owned it with that seat always in the sun. The drivers is WAY better. But the swivel works awesome!!

Great! I have some Siennas on the way. MG still needs to build my front seat mounts, but once they are in, my seats are yours free of cost, if you want them.

Just read this whole thread. What a perfect ski travel rig. I travel the western USA resorts in a westy . It seems so small now. Keep living the good life.

Thanks! It is pretty plush for ski bumming, but man is it nice to have with the dogs and kid.

I have some shiny newish Ford seats for you when you want them. You will need to either swap your female seatbelt buckle on, or just swap the foam and covers onto your current seats.
