    A3 Rims finally mounted!!!!!

    1. Under extreme circumstances with weight and terrain, 15.5s will rub the underside of the bed. I have done it. 2. Buy surplus M35A3 rims or custom rims from OD Iron for $250-$300 each. Buy 15.5/80R20 or 395/85R20 tires for $50-$200 each. Mount up, bolt on and ride! 3. If you want a...

    A3 Rims finally mounted!!!!!

    Looking good! I don't think I have ever seen that wheel/tire combo, but have been wanting to try it. How well does the bead seat on the 15.5s with the MPT wheels?

    Stinger Hitch Modification to Deuce.

    I have used a M35 to pull a goosneck, but generally prefer to use a dolly or wagon style trailer instead. Here are some pics.

    Another Wheel and tire fit question

    Okay, thanks for the link. I see the confusion now. There are "stock" CUCV wheels and there are "stock" Hummer wheels. To use the stock Hummer wheels you need to use some spacers or change over your front hubs to dually hubs. You can run Hummer tires on stock CUCV wheels and only worry about...

    Kenworth 8x8 XM1074 PLS

    Merlin- Thanks for the great info! The T800 8x8 I have is a pleasure to drive and I believe it came from APG. I have talked with several people who said the Kenworth outperformed the MAN and Oshkosh PLS prototypes, but that Oshkosh won the contract. Your details explain why! The Oshkosh...

    M818 5-ton tractor for sale in Idaho

    Truck should be M52A2. In my area, that price is way high. I have a much nicer one than that and it might not sell for half of that.

    towing a m818 with a deuce

    I wouldn't expect speeds anywhere close to 50 mph. If you can average 40 MPH, I would be surprised.

    MK 17 A1 Trailer A shaped tow hitch

    I expect someone on here got the big lot of "towbars". At an average cost of $200 or so, they would be very useful for the MK17 trailers coming through the system. How much have the MK17s being going for anyway?

    Ethan Crane (HIAB) Bobbed Deuce Build

    You should be able to find the NSN in the M1076 manual. If you can't, let me know. The OD Iron wheel is better suited for the deuce but if you have some M1076 wheels and some talent, they would be a lot cheaper. There is no "cut and replace" or "add and drill". Buy a pre-cut center and...

    Ethan Crane (HIAB) Bobbed Deuce Build

    Just to clarify, so no one goes and buys the wrong wheels, these are the old-style split ring M1076 trailer wheels. Not M1075, not HEMTT, etc. Justin, it sounds like you found a good source for these. Are you pleased with the offset? How much are the centers costing?
