On my old nissan & tojo, I had split rims and I always carried spare tubes. Can you still get split rims or have modern 4wd's done away with them.

Pretty sure Toyota still have them on there commercial landcruisers, have a look on flea bay theres always a few there.
I watched a bloke at Cobar tyre place change 2 of mine (16" splits) as i have never done one.
Bloody quick and effortless, i asked him about the spilts if they ever fly off?, he looked at me then pointed to the patched holes in the roof Hmmmm ill take that as a yes then.
Cheers

they can be a little dangerous if ya don't hammer the lock ring while inflating. I spent 20 years changing truck tyres and I've seen one of them come off. I spent an hour searching the scrub for it, never saw the sucker again.
but nice to know you can still get them tho.

Yeah...they still appear on ebay. Usually from guys with Troopies.
I believe you must use them if your going to put 10-16 ply tyres on.
