    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    You're not going to flex the sidewalls of these tires with an unloaded deuce. They're rated for 9,500lbs each tire.

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    Doubt it. Big Case, APOK, etc have the same wheel/tire combo without my symptoms. If it's not tire pressure it's probably toe. aua

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    45 you say? Hmm I'll check on that. They are on stock wheels, and the hubs haven't been flipped yet. I'm not sure if I want to or not.

    Got my 395's mounted (finally!)

    Thought I'd share some pics. :cool: I also had a question. I just brought the truck home from the tire place, approx. 12 miles. Anytime I would go above 45mph the front end would start swaying and it'd get hard to steer. I'll look into tire pressures when I get home from work, what should they...

    Wreckerman's Spring Fling

    I'm looking forward to it. I might even camp somewhere up there...maybe.

    Now lets see your truck in the snow

    I had one of those front covers come with one of my deuces. I had no idea what it was for. Thank you, now I know!

    Just Ran Through the Pool Today!

    Great video! My favorite part was hearing "Youse guize" and "Woohoo! Go leaves!" :lol: :lol:

    Mardi Gras M936A2 style!

    Laissez les bons temps rouler! Looks like Canal St. you had plenty of room, but in the Vieux Carre I bet it was a little tight with that big boy.

    My Deuce in the Snow (vid)

    Looks good man, I saw you snow video the other day. I must say I kinda wish we could get a foot here!

    395s on 105a2

    IIRC, he had 15.5 XL's and matching 11.00 XL's on the trailer. They're only a few inches shorter in diameter.

    Deuce removeable hitch

    I'm not an engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night... I think the weakest link are the bolts. But the tensile strength of 3/4" grade 8 bolts are 50,000lbs each. If you figure in a safety factor of 8, you're looking at 12,500lbs with a decent margin of error.

    I just picked up my M1008

    Congrats on the truck man!

    Wrecker arrives

    Really nice! Now can you come up to Helena and remove my bed so I can bob my deuce? :lol:

    Towing M1008 WITH M1009

    No brakes on the trailer and braking wasn't a problem. The M1009 stops the boat suprisingly well. If I didn't feel that it was safe tow, I wouldn't do it.

    Towing M1008 WITH M1009

    IIRC, the 1008 is 5900lbs. I've pulled my boat weighing ~5500 behind my 1009. At above 65mph the temp light would start glowing and I'd slow down. With the tall gearing on the 1009, IMHO it's more of a pain to tow at 45mph and much less lugging and easier at 55mph.

    Deuce removeable hitch

    That's a great idea! What dimensions is the piece that rests in the pintle?
