Thanks; I'll call them tomorrow along with Robert's tire on Power. -WRM

I'm going to call around tomorrow and see if I can find a shop that can work on my 16.00-20's for me; I'd really like to be able to bring my truck to this. -WRM

Cool! Maybe I'll bring the deuce if it's done in time... -WRM

No news lately unfortunately; haven't been able to do much with the holidays...and I just came back from vacation last week myself. With any luck, I'll be back at it soon. Next on the list is dismounting all the wheels/tires to patch up some holes, change o-rings and valve stems. -WRM

Pretty good; I'll try to get some pictures up this week sometime. I've got the 8" lift on and had the rear driveshaft lengthened/balanced. Now I need to find the time to disassemble all the wheels/tires to change out the valve stems and o-rings. Also need to remove all the run-flats and...

No additional progress yet; just waiting for some time to free-up. The only time I can really work on it is Saturdays, and then only if somebody is gonna be at the shop. So, I'm pretty much at the mercy of their schedules. -WRM

Forgot about this, but here's where I got the inspiration to make my own lift: Ridgerunner's Deuce -WRM

If you caught my other thread a while back, you know that I was having a bit of a time finding replacement valve stems for the wheels. The valve stem that I ended up using was PN 12301120, and it fits like a glove in the MRAP wheels; almost like it was made for this application. Also, I had...

Just for future reference, I installed one of these stems today, and I couldn't ask for a better fit; almost like it was made specifically for this application! -WRM

Ah, I got'cha...I didn't know they just altered the end of the part number for a different length. -WRM

The price is certainly right, but at ~4.75" long, aren't they a bit short? I don't have any of my wheels/tires in front of me, but I don't remember much of the valve sticking outside of the wheel and mine are a little over 6.25" long. Do you have to use some sort of extension to reach them? -WRM

I already have the Meyer's catalog sitting on my desk at home, but didn't see any "sure things." That's why I posted to see what someone else may have used in this situation... -WRM

Another possible fix for anyone else in this situation (too late for me) if you have access to a lathe: buy the female valve stem part (the little plug you see in the rear of my new stem), and turn down the threads until it will fit inside the stock valve stem. From there, you could probably...

After looking at a few different options, the tire store and myself decided that this was probably the best replacement: It's PN is 12301120, and it's supposedly the valve stem used on the M900 series trucks with CTIS. All the measurements look like they're pretty much spot-on, so hopefully...

For reference, the measurements from my stem are: Rim Hole = .803-.804 Length from center of rim hole = ~6.250 Offset = ~.750 Angle = (2X) 8-12° -WRM

Thanks peashooter; I'll be going to look for stems this morning, and I'll report back with what I find out. -WRM

Thanks for the reply DatGuyC. After installing the "spud," where did you find the long stem to screw into them? -WRM

I purchased some MRAP-style replacement wheels for my project ( My Bobber Thread ) and I'm just now getting around to working on them. I broke an o-ring, but I believe I've got that handled (won't really know until I can air them up). Now, I'm having issues with the valve stems. A large bore...

Tagged; very interested... Keep the (larger size) pictures coming! -WRM

I'll have to swing by there sometime when I'm down visiting my uncle.. -WRM
