Sorry, I've been bouncing between different projects and haven't gone any further with narrowing the axle.

I don't where you got the Dodge rim is wider? These rims I have are 6 1/2" wide. Narrow by all modern standards. Basic steel rim The closest I could find to mimic the TD Pinz appearance without goting to a 5 or 6 bolt rim And a pic of the HMMWV tire on the trailer before changed it. And can see...

The Dodge rims seem to have the most offset short of using dually rims (the idea of tearing my shins on lug bolts everytime I'm near the trailer, just doesn't appeal to me :roll:) Buying more axles really isn't an option. My biggest challenge at the moment is getting a work area.. The FDT and...

The 3rd pic is with a standard Dodge 8 lug rim (same as Ford and older GMC/Chevy). The older Chevy wheel should bolt right on and the correct backset. What a tire shop told me was that the newer Chevy/GMC rims are a metric pattern that is close, but not the same. I have not verified it... I...

Straight axles is the simplest way out... I'm not known for taking the "simple" way :lol: But I did conceded early on NOT to change the hubs to TD Pinzgauer lug pattern... that by itself would have cost me 6x what the trailer did. The tire in the last pic is a 265/75-16, just to get a general...

The A3 is the only variant M116 with a raised center axle, all the rest are straight (though the same reference conterdicts itself:?), and a piece of cake to cut and splice back together. If you don't intend to drive offroad, a straight axle is fine. The track (tread) listed for the M116A2E1 is...

Rather than going into something blind, I thought to see if anyone has removed the spindles from a M116A3 to re-weld them into the stub axle after being shorten? I am narrowing the track on a M116A3 to match up with my Pinzgauer ( roughly 10” narrower). I want to keep the raised center axle...
