M810 with fresh paint

Wow, what a difference! Great job. Can't believe what it used to look like. Got any more pics?

I will take some at the bog Sat. I will post them Sunday night.

WOW those tires are HUGE.

Are they Michelin XL 16.00R20?

yes on the hemmt rims. the front two are wider than the back to. I have the rims flipped the opposite way for the back, but the back spacing isn't right. I'm gonna have to flip the hubs later.

are you going to narrow up the front or widen out the rear? or both. i dont have experience with hub flips. yet.

flip the hubs on the rear.

rizzo, have you flipped the rear hubs on your 5 ton yet ? i have 5 single type wheels ( thanks to hookin1 and eddeic ) that i think are hemit wheels. need 2 more. might check into a civy version for the last 2. i think the wheels i have are like yours so i will need to flip my rear hubs to make things line up. i was just wondering how much trouble i was in for. i wasnt in a big rush to do this untill citizensoldier and bigbee hooked me up with 8 of the ZXL 1600 x 20's most of them new ! now i cant wait to get'em on. cant imagine trying to locate parts and info without this site and the people that make it what it is.

Lookin Good!!

I havn't touched it yet. Started it up for a bog and a tire was flat, so I have to change that and put a thermostat in. I have an old thermo in that has the middle cut out, but it still over heats, so I'm gonna try a regular thermostat ans see if that helps.

do you have all your rims? I have a couple extra with no lock rings.

i have 4 good rims and 1 that will work for a spare and a full set of flanges and lock rings.

Nice ride ! Dig the tires !

Cool Dude!!, Do you like the 16's or do you think 14's would work better on the m813?

they seem ok, but I don't have alot of drive time on it. the gas motor and big tires, doesn't have enough power to go down the road well. When i did drive down the road a couple times I noticed a softer ride than the 1100-20 NDCC. I'm gonna put the 1600's on my 5ton wrecker and that will be driven on the road often. I will know more in a couple months.

Also did you remove the front bumper for tire clearance?

it came without a front bumper. It has one on it now. I don't think tire clearance will be a problem. the military put 1600's on there 5 tons. so does Osh Kosh Equipment in WI. I have winch bumper on both trucks.

cool ok thanks!
