I paid less for 7 tires than one new. No shipping either since there's a tire yard right outside of rrad that is within easy driving distance of me. You would be mentally handicapped to buy new ones.

Actually I have looked into the price of these tires new. If I remember correctly somewhere in the realm of $1500 per tire. Trust me I'm running surplus 395s without a second thought. I gots a spare lol.

They do. The biggest problem with surplus tires in general is we typically don't know the history of them. Whether they were run low of air for a long time or sat flat on a truck for extended periods. Or whatever else can lead to a tire failing. It's the risk you take buying surplus tires.

Yikes. I know that wasn't fun.

I love seeing these trucks flexed out.

Ouch. That sucks on the cracked knuckle. I had a busted hub on my truck. Really screwed up my hub flip project. I know your pain.

Looking good so far!!

Looking good Dan! Don't sweat on the win sheild seals. I mean, yes they suck to install, but it's just a minor bump in the road.

It's not bolted up on one side.

I wouldn't put a check valve between the compressor and tanks. The deuce compressor puts out dirty air and can gum up the valve. It wouldn't be pretty if it stuck closed.

I have a local hose shop that sells the dot air line and push lock fittings. I'm sure there is someone near you that sells them. If not mcmaster Carr sells them online.

Possibly. Maybe driving it will get air out of the heads. It's still very strange that even with a new thermostat it's acting up

That's not a terrible price. If you ever get caught in a rain storm you will quickly see that they are worth every penny. They are also not failure prone like the air motors.

The air wipers don't even compare to electric wipers. I love mine.

Ah ok. Btw, nice truck. Can't wait to see how it looks when your done.

Wait, are you bobbing this truck or leaving it 6x6? You can't run 14.00-20s on a 6x6 without spreading the bogies out.

A 14.00-20 tire works fine on a 7" lock ring rim. It's been done for years. You just need to run the correct tubes. 1300/1400 radial rated tubes. The problem is going to be the offset. The front will rub pretty bad on the steering arm. To the point it will eat the sidewall. Adjusting the...
