Hello everyone, I've done a lot of searching but I could find very little info on running 12.00R20 tires on a deuce. I'd like to remain dualed, does any one know if I can run them? Thanks!

So the data plate is readable in photos, unfortunately, my masking tape failed me. Now I know how my parents must feel.

The plate is so fadeded it's nearly impossible to read. Anything in particular to look for? I'll snap those pictures for you when I get home.

My M116A3 before and after painting. I used the Codes found in this thread for Behr 686 Tan. Prepped with wire wheels and rusty metal primer. Thinned with water, and it sprayed beautifully out of my cheapo gravity gun.

It's painted! I use the paint code for 686 Tan in Behr exterior latex paint found in several threads in the paint and body section. I let it bake in the sun at about *85. Clouds started rolling in, so it'll have to finish curing in the garage.

Question: For a cheap paint job, do you think I could remove/scuff the loose stuff and rust, then use Klean Strip rust converter, followed by the Behr paint everybody loves? I'm hoping to skip priming to avoid building a makeshift paint booth.

I wish I could do jokes. :D

I don't know, but they totally ruined my portable hottub plans. There are also some brackets up front I'm not familiar with.

Also, I know absolutely nothing about it. It's my first MV of any type.

Here's an album with high-res photos. https://plus.google.com/photos/105444522424842660131/albums/6028661778604985297 I'll embed them as well.

Sure thing.

Well, honestly, it was 100% uneventful. The guys at the GL yard in Fort Campbell, KY were really nice and had it already pulled up by the office waiting for me. One of the parking brake cables have snapped, and the surge brakes are in-op, I believe due to a kinked brake line. Other than that...

Looks good!

You would put the thick part towards the back to add caster, if necessary. But that typically only happens if you swap axles. I had my 2004 Tacoma that way for a while before I eventually cut and re welded the knuckles.

Kenny, do you have the specs on the m1008 that's 2nd from the left? (Black wheels and the Hummer tires)
