I know that you can find it in a search. The search function on here can be tricky to use. I use google, and add "steel soldiers" to my search. Anyway, I think that you can just run the adapter plate on the outside of the HEMMT wheels for the front, and on the inside for the rear. They you...

I haven't looked, but I assume that you take it loose at the firewall and the dash? Or is it not even bolted at the firewall? I need some leg room, and this will help.

Thanks again for the compliments guys. I think that I am going to add a large tool/storage box on the driver side to match the look of the fuel tank on the other side. I still need to do mount the rear mud flaps. Not sure about the front ones. If there is anyone in the Midwest looking for...

I just looked at my notes. The front side offset is 3.5" on my wheels.

ApopkaFL, I should be good to go when I get my new wheel. I appreciate the info though. MWMULES, so if I show up mid afternoon on Sunday or even Monday, will I be able to drive right in and park with the other MV's? Sorry for the questions.

CJ is the guy to talk to at Longs. I'm not sure on the backspacing. They are the same as what ODIron's wheels were when he was having them built. CJ will know what it is. I can post pics later tonight. I copied someone else on here. I had holes drilled around the circumference of the wheel...

I talked to CJ today at Long's Wheels. They reminded me that the wheels are for off-road use only, but they would go ahead and send me a replacement wheel for the one that has over an 1/8th inch of run out. I'll have to live with the one that has about 1/16th. They have been a good company to...

I just mounted 395 MVT's on Long's wheels. For me, and my tire guy, it was a PIA. I'm sure others have done it easier. This tire guy primarily does large truck and tractor tires. He said that these were the hardest that he had ever done. It took both of us and another guy to get them...

Thank you guys. I am going to call the wheel manufacturer on Monday, but I am not looking forward to the call. What is an acceptable tolerance? My fabrication friend said .001 would be to him. Well none of them are that close. I really wish that I would have just purchased converted...

With the help of a few others, I finished my truck Saturday. I bought the truck in February, and on the trip home threw a rod. The truck sat until the end of April. At the end of April we started bobbing it while looking for a replacement engine. During the bobbing process a friend and I...

jwright came out for tonight and we got the truck driving again. Thanks to him, the truck should be completely finished this week. Thanks Jared!

I now plan on being there. jwright came out tonight and worked on the truck with me. Well, he did a lot of wrenching while I did a lot of talking. Anyway, by the end of the night we were driving it. The truck has moved under its own power for months.

If I can get my clutch fixed, and just a few other items, I'd love to come. My truck is now bobbed. Will that be an issue?

Jon, I agree with you. We should have adjusted the fingers, but we both thought it was a good idea at the time. I'll probably just pull the trans and put the other clutch in.

Gotcha. I knew of the cheaper cost, better reliability, etc...
