The rims look to be from a HEMTT and they will work, but the front and rear track will be different. Adding 14.00x20 tires will require you to remove the rear splash shields and misc items from the truck.

Nice! [thumbzup] Where did you get it? Any plans for super singles?

RE: Beadlock/runflats Thanks much Sarge. I never knew the Army used these runflats in 5 tons. I thought only the beadlock style inserts were used. I will have to get some and just try it. I think I "need" them.

Try www.ebay.com Search for "slave cable" and you will find several options from 12 to 20 to 50 foot. 1 pin NATO and 2 pin older styles too. $50& up

Great pics, thanks for sharing. The duece looks great and the deer camp looks like good times were had. Regarding the deer, if the bucks are getting bigger, what did the little ones used to look like?

I too was disappointed in the factory horn, so I added one of the cheap air horn kits. It was about $35 and easy to install. It sounds great and LOUD! Here are some pics.

There are several options, but I would go with 5 ton rims from the M939 series. Backspacing should be about 11" IIRC. HEMTT rims will not track the same front and rear, unless you flip the rear hubs on your truck. The rims are the same width, but the backspacing is different.

RE: mounting beadlocks Thanks Sarge, that is good info. Are these runflats "authorized" for use on the 5 tons or is that a "field mod"? Did you notice any substantial negative impacts (brakes, acceleration, suspension)? Does the Army typically use the method you outlined, or is a specialized...

Kenny- I know JB Seeling won a few trucks there and was making some trips to Lavinia this month or next. He might be able to help you out.

I have seen similar inserts used on HMMWVs but does anyone know much about the 20" ones? What vehicle(s) are they used on? How does one insert them into a tire? I found some information on http://www.forceprotection.net/ but was hoping for some first hand knowledge...

Good luck with your search, but you shouldn't have to pay $3.75 each way. What kind of trailer cost $3.75? That sounds like a specialized one, not just a flatbed.

Thanks for the review. Tbanks- Do you have any antenna masts for the AS-3900A?

Chains are great for snow and ice. I don't think anyone will yell at you for that. Get a few pairs and you will see.

There has been a lot of good information posted on this topic. A good search would help you see all the options. Singles with stock rims is not the best choice because the track will be very narrow in the rear when you flip the hubs (or will not track the same if you keep the outer tire only)...

Dang, I'm glad to see that your wrecker is big enough for the job. It makes the M52 look tiny! [thumbzup]
