Hey all. I really just wanted to pop in here because I'm excited about my latest auction win: 2 lots, for a total of 10 HMMWV tires/wheels/inserts... for a combined total of $210. For now, I will just be using the 2" thick adapters to run them on my 10-bolts. Eventually I'll do an axle swap, but not in the budget for time or money right now. Also a couple can go on my M101 trailer that has the M1031 box on it.
I know, I know... "why don't you just use aftermarket 16.5s with the right backspacing and 6-lug??!!?!?!?"
Because that's not what I wanted, that's why. I want the run-flats. The truck is my toy, is barely driven, and is being prepared for the inevitable... nay... impending zombie apocalypse.
I've already swapped in 4.10s and and turned up the pump. With an EGT gauge to watch temps, of course.
I've put on a trans-go kit and a transmission cooler to boot.
My other mods include: conversion to dual 12v, manual GP switch, Headlight relay conversion, PIAA lights, 2500watt inverter off the second batter bank (total of 4 Optima yellow tops), 2x10 bed cover/divider boards for bunks in the back, and two 5gallon water jugs mounted in jerrycan mounts inside
Here are a couple of pics. 33x10.5s on it for now.
My next project(s) are an electric fan setup (which is taking forever because I suck at welding and am trying to make an easily-removed mounting bracket), a center console, and a snorkel ("cold air" although in texas, it's just "less hot air"). I've already got a 6.2l intake "hat" from a marine diesel.
That's all I've got to show for now. Really just excited about cutting fenders and cramming 37s under it. (and an eventual lift and axles).
