Cheers simp, he's trying to identify which one it is, its a mess of hydraulic fluid though, so its hard to pinpoint it. Will take you up on it though if he can get it dialed in.

A fellow SS'er - BigRig379 - had a breakdown on I5 just north of Stockton in his MK48. Is anyone able to help with a tow? Needs to get off the freeway to work on the truck. I don't know a whole lot about the situation (I'm located about an hour away and no ability to move something that size.)...

I finally took the next step in my journey, I went to 395's. This was one of the main reasons I installed PS. I am so glad I did it, those tires are massive, there is no way I would be able to drive the truck on them without PS. One of my best mods to date for sure.

Wait, could the fix to my bouncing Speedo really be this simple? How much would you say you put in there?

I drove mine about an hour and a half to my brothers house. He lives on a steep slope (navigable, with effort) and he felled a bunch of 40'+ digger pines. His house and the road are at the TOP of the slope, the trees naturally fell downhill. His neighbor very loudly wondered "what is that idiot...

Scored a SMOKIN deal on a brand new set of 385's from a guy moving his shop out of state. He didn't want to have to move the tires and wheels so he let them go stupid cheap. Finally finished painting the adapter plates and getting everything assembled and mounted up. Before and after pics. I...

Completely agree. Unfortunately though the California vehicle code classifies any truck as a commercial vehicle. The size or intended purpose is completely irrelevant. I duked it out with the DMV over this and the onery lady pulled out the code book and I read it. All trucks are defined as...

Is there a thread for this somewhere? I only live an hour or so from Lodi, but somehow I miss this meet-up every year :(

Thats very different from what the DMV told me :(. When I spoke with them I was told that anything (unless designated RV - which requires very specific attributes) with 3+ axles requires at least a Class B commercial license - regardless of brake type or weight. Its one of the reasons I bobbed...

Great job Mike! Glad to see all that labor paid off and it all came together. Your truck looks awesome, and I am stoked to hear that it all turned out so well for you. I really like the C-channel bracing you did, it looks factory, and your GG column worked out real nice. Well done, your truck...

Cheers aaron, appreciate the response. Is the difference between the two substantial? E.g. the smaller diameter is 7" and the larger 11"?

Im on my phone, so cant do a thorough search, so if this has been covered I apologize: do all MRAP wheels have the same ~11" diameter opening? I.e. will the same 10 hole bolt-on adapter work for any of the wheels?

I need a facepalm smiley - I didn't even think about eBay. Thanks for the reminder!

Anyone know who is making MRAP adapter plates for the seuce these days? I tried peashooter but no love there :-(. I recently scored a brand new set of 395's on MRAP wheels and need to get them onto my truck.

I have that exact same dent in my bobbed deuce, from doing that exact same thing. My 'solution' plans have ranged from driving over it to welding a chain to it and pulling it out. Interested to hear the route you end up going with. Conversely, if anyone in NorCal is selling an M105 tailgate...

:beer:

I drove mine for the first time in probably six months. I'm not great about getting it out routinely. I had to drive ~1hr to pick up some slate purchased off Craigslist on the cheap. Seems like every time I start to think seriously about selling it because it doesn't get enough use, its not...

Congrat's! That's a solid achievement and must feel great.

Glad to hear those parts are helpful and the ball is moving again. So which pieces exactly are you looking to replicate?

Ive got one. PM me your address and i'll drop it in the mail.
