How is your M105 frame attatched under the deuce frame? Bolted, welded? I have mine bolted on but have not done any offroading with it yet.

Its stitch welded only, I still need to weld fish plates above the spring perches. But its holding up, as I've been to KSrockspark, In Fort Scott, and made a few of the trails wider by driving over trees, I also found out that Mother is a lot louder when you knock off her smoke stack.

Corndog thats mighty funny. Anyway, We bought 8- 20" combat wheels, $112.00 apiece, Had the new centers (1/2 inch plate) cut on a water jet table in Wichita but they forgot to countersink for lug nuts, $75.00 apiece, Still need to cut old centers out with cutting wheels. Countersink lug holes $?, and weld in new centers at 4" backspacing, and then paint. We had a bid from Ag Tire and Wheel in Wichita for $575.00 a wheel, finished and painted. That would be the way to go. They would have already been on the trucks. But we must be pinching pennies and not time. Corndog I may rename my Jack Russell, Harry that.

It seems to me, you need to focus more on play than on your job!
SAFETY FIRST
Here is a story that happened yesterday.
Whistler's Mother was stuck in the mud. A couple in a Jeep offered to pull me backwards. So we hooked up a 30' tow strap with about 4' of slack. When he hit the strap he moved me enough that I could get out. But, His wife was looking back between the seats, at Mother and Me. When they hit the end of that strap, The back of her head busted out the front windshield, of their Jeep, She had a slight headache but I'm sure, she will be fine. I gave her a, Hungarian Army Helmet for the next time.
