Yep...the 14.50R20 tire is easily 250 lbs without the wheel (I don't remember exactly how much, but figured on ~350 with the wheel, that's probably close). They are designed to stop small caliber arms fire and shrapnel ("Tactical radial"). Super tough, super heavy, super stiff, wear like iron...

Call up Coker tire...they are your only hope. :) I know they are making NTD and some NDCC tires now....just need to get them to make the big 14x24s.

Good luck on the M123 tires. It's my understanding they have not been produced in years. Here's a good link: VanNatta Big Trucks - The big 6x6 Mack M123A1C Look at the section about tires... I've seen some road grader tires can still be found in that size, but as far as NDCCs, unless Coker...

OK, this worked out *great* for me: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/145918-post18.html Latex house paint...good quality stuff. Stuck to the primer well too. So far so good. Very flat, and will not fade in sunlight (or at least not yet). And it's like $25 a gallon mixed up at Home Depot/Lowes...

You talking about the "Always in April" Swap meet? Link here I'll swing through for sure...always a good way to kill a weekend! :D

Guys: OpenDNS | Internet Navigation And Security Seriously...it's kinda good, and free. Just change your DNS server in your router and it's all better. Google also has a DNS service that's good as well.... Dan

Which dataplates go on that top plate? I got the new one from ODI, but never had the correct plates. I'd love to remedy that...

Guys, I will be there from Thursday-Sat. Spots 113/114 (Yes, I reserved two as I have a large RV trailer and sometimes she don't fit in one space). We'll be driving down from Portland early Thursday AM (about 10 hour drive), so if all goes well we'll be there in the late afternoon. Looking...

Man that's cool! :grd:

VERY cool Bill! I love to see good engineering..... Keep us posted on your project!

Just remember that you have to are also getting back *into* the US, so make sure you have your Passport/Travel card ID thing and *all* paperwork for your trucks (****, I'd carry the title with me!) and that it's all in order. This would be more for the US re-entry than getting into Canada...

Wow...I had to do exactly *none* of the above to register my Deuce in Oregon. And I registered it at full capacity. I did need to get "T" plates (truck plates) for it, which cost about $225 a year (yes, a year), but I do not need a CDL to drive it. The cut-off in Oregon is 26K lbs...the deuce...

Most excellent...can't wait. I wonder if SS will get a plug on the show? I mean...c'mon, who *else* could he plug? :D

:ditto:

Having been down the Alcan myself...let me suggest that everyone bring as many spare tires as you can. Those roads eat tires. There's miles-n-miles of (good) gravel road...but they use crushed gravel that contains a lot of obsidian...very sharp and they can work their way into your tires. We...

I mounted mine on the mudflap, and wired in a cheap NAPA plate light (maybe $10) with a 24v bulb in it. Shot it Tan to match the truck. Works great, and makes me legal.

Congrats! Where in Oregon is this ranch? I'd love to see that truck....

Karl, I know you are new here, but just so you know..there are a million threads on this already. Search is your friend. :) To answer your question fully...you want 200' of 6x19 1/2" diameter, Fiber Core (FC), Right Hand (RH), Ordinary Lay (OL), Improved Plow Steel (IPS), Flexible Steel Wire...

I've always liked the chrome skull with the flashing red eyes. OK, Chrome does not belong on an MV, but c'mon.... A flight control stick from an old jet fighter would be neat as well...plus it has buttons galore! :)
