So, looks like these include the tension band? Anybody have photos of these installed. Since I have aluminum wheels that have been freshly powder coated, I’d like not to destroy the powder coating. Due to the thickness of the aluminum, there is basically no dish in the wheel, so the outside face...

Thanks, yet again, GD!

Thanks

Anyone know of a source for cable chains for 395/85 R20’s?

Well, I just hope I can find some of these nuts in the next couple of weeks or this new wheel and tire combo are going to be very expensive paper weights.

I have a feeling, the CTI lug nuts are going to be difficult to get a hold of. Does anyone know where these may be had other than straight from Hutchinson? If they end up being out of stock, I need a backup plan for the trip home with the truck.

So, I found a set of four of these wheels and they are currently being blasted and powder coated, then will get new MVT’s mounted. I have a question relative beadlocks. It seems there are two options, the split steel band beadlock that seems to be the standard issue with the steel wheels, or a...

T Thanks, planning to order the heated trucklite headlights, $350 a pair, but didn’t want to if it maybe had them already.

Would a 2008 A1R already have the Trucklite heated LED headlights?

Don’t know since the truck is still in Maryland. Next time I talk with Berend I’ll see if he has the engine serial#. Really not enjoying having to wait to get the truck:(

I think I'll pass on the the army's method:)

The C7 in the A1R I'm buying has yellow valve cover and the ACERT sticker is still intact, so likely not repainted.

Yes planning to pick up a few things, like a 3/4 breaker bar, on that end. Fortunately I'll either have my kid along with me or a buddy, so I can split tools across multiple airline tickets. Bought a full set of U-joints but will only take one or two with me. Also bought the tool to press out...

Thanks

Hello All; First let me apologize for being yet another newbie asking a crap load of questions. I do, however, promise you I have the capacity to maintain and build the truck into the expedition vehicle I have planned and while it will take a while, I will be able to give back to the forum. I...

And the cost of 307's only gets worse if you have a high pinion rear diff, where that is of no consequence at all with eco hubs.

truck is stock gearing, so I’m doing eco hubs and calling it a day. Sounds like the perfect compromise for highway cruising but still low gearing for off-road.

For you folks who know these trucks inside out, how does the gearing after the Eco Hub install compare to installing 3.07 gears? If memory serves me right, I think I’ve heard two different stock ratios, one in the high 6’s and one in the low 7’s. So, in either case, the gearing after the Eco Hub...

Yes, I plan on having it rebuilt/balanced, and will have the front balanced as well. Already planning to start a new thread for the truck build to avoid further posts here.

Well, we know the issue isn’t the Eco Hubs:)
