    CSM Army Tires vs Waiting for Aftermarket Wheels & Tires

    That was my second choice behind 24 bolt wheels but no one has had any black rhinos available around me for over 8 weeks. They’re all saying sometime next year before they’ll have any again.

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    I never trust anything I buy without checking it first, so I was going to have someone throw them on their machine before just blindly putting them on the truck. Thanks for the heads up on the website to find out who has that machine.

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    I need to find a good shop here in north Texas. 4 wheel parts is scared of them.

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Sorry @Action…. trying to type on my phone while traveling today and not doing the best job at it. Yes, I found a set of new BFGs on wheels with runflats installed. The question is whether it’s possible and safe to get 24 bolt wheels WITH runflats balanced out somehow so they’re smooth enough...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Before shipping, I'm finding good new or newish tires, mounted and balanced on 24 bolt wheels for $290 a corner.

    CSM Army Tires vs Waiting for Aftermarket Wheels & Tires

    Feltz still has newer BFG's and some wheels, but I cant get in touch with Trail Worthy Fabrication regarding their PVC beadlock inserts. I heard running the Trail Worthy inserts and a centramatic gets you a pretty smooth ride vs using the factory beadlock run flat inserts.

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    I personally would feel better with them in there, but I've had several guys tell me there's no way to balance them enough to smooth them out for highway speeds.

    Proper Type & Quality of Under Hood Hose Clamps

    I've heard several guys talk about the proper hose clamps and constant tension clamps for under hood hoses. Several on my truck are clearly some auto parts junk and I'd like to replace with the correct style clamps when I install all new hoses. Appreciate any advice you guys may have.

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    Have been offered a set of paired 24 bolt wheels with new 2019 and 2020 date code BFG Bajas for our 1123. Seller says they DO have the run flat inserts, but have been balanced and are new/unused. Would you guys feel comfortable running those on the highway, or am I throwing money away? I...

    CSM Army Tires vs Waiting for Aftermarket Wheels & Tires

    All CSM has right now are new BFG on 24 bolt wheels WITH the runflats installed. I would love to go with the setup you have there, but that's stumping me, plus I can't get anyone at Trailworthy Fab to call or return any emails about their PVC inserts.

    Replacement seat dimensions

    @Action, how can you tell between the standard rear seat base lids and the thicker lids? Going through this same seat dilemma myself right now.

    M1123 Tachometer Options

    Thanks for the leads on those @Action and @Coug. Trying to keep my tach installation as clean as possible, and this will come in handy for pulling a switched power leg for my 24 to 12v converter as well.

    M1123 Tachometer Options

    Thanks @Action, that's exactly what I was looking for! Do you have a good source for someone who sells the different versions of those?

    CSM Army Tires vs Waiting for Aftermarket Wheels & Tires

    Their new tires have older date codes than the 90% sets so they recommended 90% over the new ones for road use.

    CSM Army Tires vs Waiting for Aftermarket Wheels & Tires

    Has anyone here used CSM Army Tires? I currently have old date code Goodyear MT OZ tires on some rough to fair 12 bolt rims, that I'm not comfortable with on the highway anymore. I was originally going to convert to 17" wheels and all terrains, but the wheel and tire shortage has had made me...

    Correct Paint for Black Metal Parts & Stencil Material for HMMWV

    Those of you who are using Rapco/Gillespie paints for the body, are you using the 911 Black for your metal bumpers, brush guards, etc.? I have a NOS rhino tire carrier that appears to be in a flat or CARC finish, bur a raw A2 airlift bumper, brush guard, and winch plate to paint. The metal...

    M1123 Tachometer Options

    When pulling off the tach drive, is there a preferred way of tapping those wires with something that appears military like in execution? I’ve never been a fan of t-taps or posi-taps on any of the 12v work I’ve done, as inevitably one of them always gives me fits at some point down the road...

    M1123 Tachometer Options

    I've been pointed in every direction on tachometers for our M1123 with a NA 6.5 and now I'm just even more confused. I have the tach pod for the windshield frame, but no tach, and no wiring. I dont want a tach bad enough to spend $950 on the kits being sold online, but would like to get...
