scrub only shifts out 1.25" which when should actually correct the scrub radius when adding taller tires. only thing holding me up at this point is getting a primary driver on the road that needs a head gasket and timing chain job. once that is on the road the deuce is my priority. I did...

130$ per gallon, ouch

ship it would be first choice second would be to rent trailer from an equipment rental company not uhaul.

lockouts and airshift accomplisht he same task in this case of disconnecting the wheels from the transmission. they should only be locked in whenon slick surfaces anyways so the item that "gives way" is the ground. the sprag setup actually has the front geared slower than the rears. so long...

timken bump stops would outlive any solid rubber ones due to being taller and designed to squish for increased load capacity. it would obviously be a custom application but the bellowed bump stop should do the trick of not wearing out as fast while protecting the frame

sadly the deuce hasn't been my priority so i haven't had time to install them yet. heck i haven't even had time to install the new 24v wiper motors and that's an easy one.

but then you are buying new thimbles - may as well buy new front lug nuts.

get one of these any never worry again NEW TORQUE MULTIPLIER LUG WRENCH TRUCK SEMI BUS TRACTOR | eBay mechanical advantage of almost 60-to-1 has effortlessly removed all lugs including ones that the 6' bar had trouble with.

before i picked up a gear reduction wrench I had to use a 6' steel pipe on my 3/4" drive wrench and jump on the end to break a few loose.

1.25" aluminum - if you want hub centering tabs then you'll need another 1/2" (or weld them on later)

weather is finally warming up so i can work on my truck again. should be installing the front two adapters in the next few weeks. I have the studs pressed into the adapters - just need to get the hubs off the truck to press the old studs out.

yep, here it is again for those that missed it the snow is a main indicator as to why i haven't gotten one installed yet.

if this weather holds then I should be able to get some installed.

what I have available right now is standard 5 ton wheels with 11x20 mounted tires. eventually i'll replace those with 22.5 wheels and commercially available on/offroad retreads.

nope sorry - between family, work, and odd weather (no shop big enough for deuce) I haven't been able to install my set yet. I'm hoping to get some weather to be able to atleast install the front 2 wheels soon.

without any hardware just the machined adapters are 150 each + shipping keep in mind I'm not selling these - just trying to help with a group buy from the machinist for anybody else that wants them I still haven't had an opportunity to install mine yet.

imo I wouldn't at the most i would use the running gear for a custom fabbed up chaser that had bodywork closer to the ground, and an engine/transmission that would handle the 1,000,000 miles that would be put on it chasing storms all over.

exactly the kind of review I was hoping for - I'll be saving my dollars for this setup.

if you are looknig at one peice wheels then check the prices on used commercial 20 and 22.5 wheels should be able to get them for around 50-100$ each at local alvage yards example: Steel Hub Pilot & Stud Pilot (Budd) 22.5 & 24 Wheels - eBay (item 170509755580 end time Feb-01-11 08:57:26 PST)
