meanwhile............. it's an inch and a half for the lugnut size!

I had no problem with the jack sinking into the soft wet (recently/currently raining) conditions with the block you see in the photos. The first couple pumps it settled a bit and then it was fine. When you think about it really if the contact area is roughly as much as the tire... it's no different.

I think an 8 ton would do the job fine even at gross weight. The 20 is just what they had - if anything it helps that the length of stroke is probably longer than the smaller 8 ton. I do recommend people try to change a tire at home before they have to do it in the field! It's not hard...

So here's a trick for you all that I learned from the professional who came out to change my first tire when I was out in the middle of nowhere. The bottle jack does not have enough reach to lift the axle high enough. In this case I just dug the ground out the extra inch or two I needed. What he...

Well, now I know how to mount wheels. Bought a couple of dismounted goodyears today, and mounted up one on the spare wheel that I had previously blown which was sitting here at the shop. Will take it up and rescue the truck tomorrow. In general for this stuff after years of using air now I...

Been considering it honestly. Maybe split the difference and do NM?

Cool. I haven't decided when I'll be down there next - where to winter - but I'll keep that in mind. In this case I had to leave the truck up in the mountains, so I need just about anything round as quickly as I can get it, so I can fetch the truck back. I've got some good leads to get a tire...

Perfect thanks

Anyone know the size for a LMTV lug nut? and bonus points the nuts that hold the wheel together? I've got to buy some sockets and my tuck is not here. Got my 2nd flat and had to leave it up in the mtns. I think it's time to get tires that were made later than 2004...
