    Singled out 5-Ton Lugnut Fix

    Changed my M923 from duals to single combat wheels. When I went to put the rears on, I found the stud-lug nut issue. Came up with my own solution that emulates duals-same thickness to allow me to use stock lug nuts. Made the plates out of 3/8" thick carbon steel. Bevel both sides of holes just...
