What the **** do you feed that thing? Honda's with a side of Toyota?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Does that mean you used 3/8" plate for the centers then I guess?I'll have to measure. It's 3/8" less than a stock HEMTT wheel.
3/4" plate flush with the front of the inside half of the wheel pushing 3/8" out the back.Does that mean you used 3/8" plate for the centers then I guess?

I highly doubt you would bend valves or anything for that matter with just exhaust back pressure.I've blown it off a few times by accident.
Does anyone know if there is a concern about bending valves by starting it with that still on?
My asphalt driveway was really not built for a truck that heavy so my theory is if I park it on 2x12 boards it will spread the load some to help prevent cracking. It's just a theory, but after 4 months I haven't seen any damage yet. I periodically move them around so I don't stay in the same spot. I use to have a trailer parked there that did some damage over time, so I'm just trying not to do anymore. Pic of the trailer:that looks really nice, and tough, too!!
question: why do you park 'er on boards?
That's a "spark arrester"Can you shoot the metal can over the roof when you start her up?
I guess it depends on where you drive and how you drive. If you drive a lot of open road I would think it could be an increase in mileage since it makes a higher final drive ratio and lower RPMs. If you drive a lot of city I would think lower MPG.Does anybody know how much MPG loss is experienced with this upgrade?
I like the way it looks, but my two concerns are fuel miles and snow traction.
I put 35psi in to start with but haven't had the time to really "dial" them in.Welcome to the super single club. I think the HEMMT wheels and 15.5s totally transform the truck.
What kind of tire pressures have you been running? I found the XMLs do well around 30-35 psi
50 tends to bounce a lot on rough roads. Havent used them off road much yet.
