    Many thanks for going to the trouble to get a good winch out of the pile. It will be a lot easier to get mounted if all I have to do is re-seal it and shoot a coat of paint on it. Thanks again Stretch!!!

    Just Purchased a M105 Trailer and need some help.

    There are other choices. You can weld deuce wheel centers into any wheel that will clear the drums. I have seen HMMv wheels modified for this purpose. They are plentiful, inexpensive, and look right.

    Fuel line fittings

    RE: Re: Fuel line fittings There are several grades of nylon tubing available. The Nylon 11 had good chemical resistance. Some are more flexible, and run at lower pressures. Look at the McMaster Carr catalog online. It has charts showing the chemical resistances of various materials, plus...

    Anyone recommend a HVLP paint gun?

    The Graco Delta sprays are good guns, as are DeVilbiss and Binks. If you are spraying CARC, there is no advantage to using a good gun, matter of fact the silica in the CARC will wear your needle, seat, and packing rather quickly. I would use a cheapie Harbor Freight pressure feed gun for about...

    De Splining drive flanges

    They can be cut out far enough to clear the front axle splines without bushing them. I have desplined several sets, and have been running a pair for almost 3000 miles. I chuck them in the lathe and use an indexable boring bar with a C7 carbide insert. Some flanges have hardened splines, some...

    Just Purchased a M105 Trailer and need some help.

    RE: Re: Just Purchased a M105 Trailer and need some help. I think the little Hino trucks have a 16 or 16.5 dual wheel that has the deuce bolt pattern. They might be good on the M105 trailer, just have to watch the drum clearance.

    Is this Lock rim ok to remove from truck?

    sorry, double post.

    Is this Lock rim ok to remove from truck?

    The ring is retained by the tire bead. If the groove in the wheel is good, and the mating surface on the ring is good, then a twisted ring is not a problem. Now, if there is a kink in the ring, discard it. A smooth twist is not a real issue. I always soap up the bead really well before I air up...

    Body mounts

    Go to any Jeep dealer. The old J2000 mounts were round, the cabs are interchangeable I believe.
