RWF Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Get some custom rims and throw on a set of mud tires and nothing will be able to stop you. believe it or not i did ask the wheel chair people about the tire size and bolt pattern after some funny looks i told them about maybe trying to get some small ATV style rims and tires for it. they claim the bolt pattern and size is unique to that company. i went out into the yard the day after a good rain and it took a F-350 dualy to get me unstuck! true story.

RWF Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Nice chair, but its just a chair. Hats off to the man and the woman behind him!----------------Larry thank you, but to me it is life line, if not i would live in bed. doctor said i would never be able to use my legs or lower body again. i can not transfer- go from my chair to a car seat. or from my chair to my bed or bed to the chair. the wife uses a lift with me in a harness to and out of bed. for sleep or a diaper change. no control. the good news is i can now move my toes.

5Shot Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) That just kicks ass. If you want some custom rims, I would get in touch with one of the Custom Chopper guys. They do all their stuff custom from AL Billets and could do the bolt pattern easily. I bet one of them out there would comp you a pair of rims.

ClutchUSMC Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Looks good Robert, hopefully I'll see you at the range soon. If you ever want to come shoot one of the 3gun matches at HCGC feel free. We'd be more than happy to make what ever adjustments need be to get you back in the game. I'm sure the IDPA guys feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COF Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 My oldest son had muscular dystrophy and had an electric wheel chair - couldn't stop him except in sand. When we lived in Albuquerque 20 odd years ago, I put knobby bike tires on his chariot and he would plow through the sand. We lived in on base in loop housing and he would tow other kids in a wagon around the loop. Seeing this thread made me think of him and how tough he was. Thanks for the memories! Good luck!!

Bryan 45 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sorry to hear about your injury, Robert, but you're a perfect example of the old saying "where there is a will- there is a way." I'm certain your attitude will help you heal more mentally and physically than many others in the same condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
