    Mini writeup on new wheels

    Slick will be an intercooler, and maybe a little more humility with the fuel screw. I am having issues with EGT's... I can easily punch it into the 1200's and above.

    Mini writeup on new wheels

    Got some new pics.... sorry, taken right at dusk. http://www.planetbantz.com/imghost/bob/tires/ Honestly, I am not crazy about the way that the front got wider and "squatter" looking. I think part of the appeal of the front end is the "highboy" look, which the wider wheels sort of kill, and...

    So, polvorone, the tires themselves (at 45") will boost your top speed from 60 to around 72. Think about it - they are 20 percent larger, so will allow you to go about 1/5 faster.

    yeah, cat, with a 2800 loaded redline RPM. .695 transmission. 45ish" tires. I have a theoretical top speed of somewhere around 85.... Way too fast for anyone.

    Tires are 315/80r22.5. What I need to do is take some front and side shots and post em. Wilco when time permits.

    Bjorn, On flat concrete roads, my deuce is stable up to 70. The issue is rutted asphalt roads - chains are all but mandatory on the roads in question for a third of the year, and that takes a massive toll on the road surface. This is what really kills the deuce. Also, one thing I've found is...

    Mini writeup on new wheels

    Hey HRD... This is that idea I had to tighten up the rear duals.... to eliminate that slop! I think I'll cut some "anti slop" shims tonight and see what I can do with those. I need to be back home early to unload a Dana 60 I'll be shaving, so that's good stuff. Well, shims shouldn't be any...

    Hey guys, an update - these things ate up I70. I have negligible runout, but now, I have to figure out how to get some caster into the front axle. 0º "tractor Castor" kills this thing going 70 with radials. Bob

    Mini writeup on new wheels

    Ach, My reply got axed. I have the DXF's - you may need to trim the OD, but I'll pass em over. They're straight cut at .760 holes for lug nuts (not acorn seat), so that may be an issue as well if you want to run nuts in. I could care if the lugnuts score the rims (which they will, again, not...

    Hey guys, I got my new wheel centers back from the waterjetters last night. I still have to locate them into the wheel shell and weld them, but I'm pretty close. http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=59843 Cheers Bob
