I did mine with RTV in 2019. No issues yet.

I've had two of them fail like you described, and a handful just explode with no warning. All of them had plenty of tread and no cracks, old date codes.

It'll follow the HEMTT just fine in the forward direction. I dont think you’ll have issues with it hitting the bed on a HEMTT either.I think you're going to have extreme difficulty backing it in anything other than a straight line. I spent 3 hours with my pickup truck backing one into the...

When I broke my shear pin on my wrecker, @M35A2-AZ was gracious enough to send me one exactly like the one he pictured. I ordered spares that are like the one I pictured. The cutouts on the shank are in the same position. I'm presuming the difference in the shape of the head is merely a...

The cheapest path to a cable is to buy one of the surplus ones, and yes I'm aware they're $550-$1300. There's one in California on ebay that's priced far below value, but the guy won't ship it. The plugs themselves are $250-$400. It's been 2018 since I priced them. And then you'll need 5...

I've attempted to back them with an M35A2, an M925, and my 1ton pickup truck. The least difficult method was to connect it to the front bumper of my pickup. It's still borderline impossible. Pinning the draw bar only helps when you can slide the front wheels and when you're going in a...

I notice the head on yours is different than the one in my picture.

I tapped my broken one out with an Allen wrench and a hammer.

@M35A2-AZ I beat you to it-

You can buy them, but be prepared for sticker shock...

Nope. I've done that. These are worse.

Something to consider is that on the interstate there's always an easy way for people to pass. On 2lane, you run a much higher risk of someone attempting to pass where it isn't safe to do so. Safety glasses are also recommended. Be sure and take pics at every stop! Enjoy!

They assuredly are not the same wheels and tires as a HEMTT. It cannot be overstated just how difficult these things are to back up. They're more difficult to back than doubles. You think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. If you get into something tight and have to back, you're going to unhook...
