MRAP wheels and tires on a deuce?

[mdmorganwife]

The adapter plates for the wheels and some towbar feet to adapt an MRAP towbar to a deuce shackle mount.

LOL Totally forgot about it....

Got the hub drive flange's looking great....And decided to use machined down budd studs and budd nuts instead of the front lug nuts, for better thread engagement and it looks better.

Working on the rear now... Got the old tires off and pressure washed some of that durhamtown mud off from the Ga rally (note to self: durhamtown mud burns the eyes. ) Going to start flipping the hubs this weekend. I can't wait to drive her around the yard....

Wow.. NICE! If that wheel doesn't look pure military... what does?

We are going to weigh him again tonight. But 2 weeks ago he was at 48lbs and about 23" tall to his top of his back.... No more carrying him around in my jacket.

Better put him on a strict diet!!
Guess who weighs 98lbs now (as opposed to 86 at the GA Rally)??

Wonder why, BEAR eats better then third world countries, in fact he is about par with a lot of first world countries and HE has his IMEGE to maintain

LOL, he is on a very strict diet... Great Dane's tummies are very sensitive, So all he gets is premium dog food and bones to chew on. I made the mistake of giving a tiny piece of the christmas ham.... and well I was paying for it all that night.


Drove the deuce to work today and getting onto base the gate guard was drooling so much that I was glad that it was raining so I didn't have to clean the side of the truck off when I got out.

How does it ride and handle? Looks great. Love how the dogs ears fold over on his head!
