Baking my Tri Ribs
 

:biggrin2: UPS delivered my tri ribs for the 128 at about 6pm. It didn't take long to get them on the rims, but they were so disfigured I could not for the life of me, get them to open wide enough to seat, so, I set the oven to 180 and cooked the first one for about 30 minutes flipping it a couple of times. Was able to get the ratchet strap to spread the tire enough to seal while I put air in it. One done, cooking #2 right now. :beerchug:

Will get some pics of them on the 128 tomorrow.

None of my Betty Crocker cookbooks has that recipe,but I hear BBQ sauce works well making them tender...

Got any photographs

Looking forward to your pics Dwayne!

I decided to smoke em, LOL.

It's just starting to get nice and warm and pliable.

I'll get a pic with the ratchet in a little while.

All my tri ribs say to use inner tubes on the side of the tire.

But you cant follow the rules all the time lol!

Usually we set them next to the wood stove in the shop but never had them that bad.

I hate to hear that, these are tubeless. :biggrin2:

Final pics:

You can see how the bead pulled up to the rim.

Good thinking! My wife would kill me!..lol Have thought it would be nice to have an oven in the shop. When I was single I would rattle can toy tractors when I restored them and bake the paint on in my oven.

Good job. Had to do the same thing with the wheel barrow tires I put on one of mine, didn't bake them but put them in the florida summer sun for a while and really had to ratchet the ratchet strap down but it finally worked. Good to see you got them, they can be a pain sometimes

Glad you got them on. They look good on the newly painted rims! I take the lazy way out and pay the tire guy $5 to mount both of mine for me....quicker, but it looks like I miss out on all the fun. I guess now we know why they often call the spare tire a "doughnut".:biggrin2:
