Whips are on my shopping list for Findlay, among other things.8-)

Thats incorrect. When you quench, either in oil, or water you are in essence freezing all the molecule in place. If you want to temper(soften) you heat, and then let it cool on it's own, no quench. Some tool steels are different. D-2 is a air hardening steel, no quench.

Looks like i'll be there Saturday with HEMTT wheel adapter plates. Here's your chance to save on shipping.

Thanks for not being a **** about it, stay classy Richard.

Ok, thanks everybody. It looked like a nice group of trucks. Anybody buy one with the hole in the top?

Yes it's from Knox, and no i didn't preview. I don't think it's a tie down pont, you can see the tie downs on the bumper, and there isn't one on the other side.

I won my first CUCV, and was wondering what this is on the rear quarter.

Welcome, glad to have you here.

I have a M35a2 wow in Redstone to come to Oxford, MI 48371

I can help you with HEMTT wheels, and adapter plates.

If you could find some MLRS 6-packs, they would look perfect.

Heres another link showing how flange nuts are widely used to attach large truck tires. Add up the holding force of the 16 studs comes to 750,000 lbs of force. With 6 studs on the axle you have 300,00 lbs of force holding the assembly to the truck...

The studs are pressed in, and my plates holes are sized the same as the rim to accept pressed in studs. I don't believe its necessary, but i do not argue that it would optimize the assembly.

I was hesitant to muffle my Deuce. Now that i have i am very pleased. No more ear plugs, and yelling at passengers.

Ok, for a dose of reality. All manufactured items are made to a tolerance. That is how far from ideal it can be. If anybody is thinking that the wheels on any of their vehicles is somehow running perfect, think again. Bridgestone Commercial Truck Tires Please take the time to read it...

Ok, my answers in red. There are a bunch of these plates made by others, and being used now. If someone has not flipped their hubs, then they have the same condition as mounting my plates behind the rim. Has anybody questioned using a 3/8 plate on the steer axle with the severe side load...

The remark about "it being an issue" was in reference to somebody not being able to torque the nuts tight enough, or somebody who wouldn't do any kind of PM. With the nuts loose, the plate has about .040 of movement, .020 side to side. Nowhere near the 1/4" that was mentioned earlier. The...

The holes in the plate are smaller than the clearance thru hole in the rim, so it doesn't move a 1/4", but there is some. Tightening the outer nuts to spec, is important. If this is an issue for somebody, than they should swap the studs. This is the same as somebody letting there lugnuts get...

I'm a manufacturer of metal goods. I buy millions of pounds of steel a year. My steel suppliers appreciate my business, so i get pricing very few people can touch. I pass the savings on. These kind of products are what i make every day, i have been doing it for decades.

Thats me.
