I was trying to find recommended minimum and maximum rim widths for the g177's, but no luck. Also wondering if the bead thickness will work with the rubber bead lock inserts.
These are going on a ford F700, singled.
I searched, but couldn't find an answer, so......
Has anyone put 11.00R20 G177's on the 10" x 20" bolt together 5 ton combat wheels?
I like the look and safety of the bolt together rim, and the bead lock feature.But want the G177's for durability.
I would probably put a 5.3 crate motor with a 400 or 700r4 (whichever is shorter) or another compatible short auto. Then I would need to find a 2 hi compatible transfer case that will tolerate the front drive shaft turning all the time. And probably shift the whole drive train as forward as...
I have 2 brand new left & right frame rails for one of the trucks(good template), but the other one has cut frame rails (not enough to make a full truck). The good thing is they are not like most cut frames, there is substantial length from both ends(only a few inches shy of complete).And one of...
I have seen the pics online of the bobbed hmmwv. I thought it would make a great father son project for a first car . I am not chopping up a whole hmmwv, but building one from almost 2 hmmwv's worth of parts in the back yard. Does anyone know who built it or where/if there is a build thread on...
I am finishing up an estate purchase clean out. I found a box of 24 volt vibrators ( about a dozen), About 16 tubes (most in boxes). Also, a bunch of odd little fat fuses. Just looking for a good home for them. All I would ask is shipping and a couple of gallons of fuel to get it to the post...
I bobbed my last truck with air ride from a freightliner. This build ,I am using front deuce springs from a truck that was parted out ,and axle hardware from black rock.. Any advice appreciated regarding this application. I.E. Things you liked or disliked ?, things you would do different?, I am...
Glad to contribute. I am sure that i will learn way more from you than the other way around. Am i on the best site for hmmwv stuff? I have always been here for CUCV and Deuce stuff, but it seems the hmmwv forum is a bit light. Or did i just buy into a small crowd..lol
Okay, here is a total with all bearings and cups (i just drove out the other 2 cups)

I posted at the bottom....these prices are timken bearings from www.rockauto.com
Yes, those are just the bearings. I did just knock out one of the cups/outer races for the upper/input bearings
Bearing LM104949 uses cup LM104911, it is $4.29
I have been meaning to post back on this topic, actually wasn't sure if it was desired info.
Upper/input bearings for the small gear are timken LM104949 $7.55
Lower/ouput bearings for the large gear:
smaller of the 2- timken 3780 $18.79
larger of the 2- timken 3490 $23.79
For a total of...
Anyone know the timken bearing numbers for the gear hubs? I have a couple of gear hubs that look suspect, and figured I might as well rebuild all 4 during the chassis build.
No title, but NCDMV has assured me that building it from pieces they will issue a "custom built" title. Harder way to street legal one, but the only legal way. People may regret circumventing the intent and titling the "whole" hmmwvs that are being sold now. I didn't want to pay 20k plus for a...
Yes, I am afraid I have bought into an expensive project. I have a 6BT that will go in it, just have to hunt down a trans/transfer case that will be suitable. I have a body that has been cut into 3 chunks (supposedly have all the repair panels), 2 brand new shiny frame rails, complete rear...
I just bought a trailer load of parts that are supposed to be a hmmwv minus the engine / trans/ transfer case. Looking at buying new ball joints, tie rod ends ,etc.. while assembling the suspension on the brand new frame rails. Can i go to like rockauto.com and buy parts from a civy H1? and if...
