    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    I am thinking I may have a rim issue. Everyone I have talked to says they have not seen these large military tires that were bad due to out of roundness especially since these were new tires. I am looking into getting 1 piece wheels from Longs or Marsh Racing. My question is what size rim do I...

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    I still dont have it figured out. I am still gone working out of town and can not find anyone willing to try and diagnose the problem locally while I am gone. I am almost to the point of buying 4 more tires and wheels and trying them. I really like the 365's over the 395's plus I sandblasted the...

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    No luck yet. I took it to a uy who can spin balance them on the truck to see what he could do with them. He told me that 3 of the 4 tire or wheels were out of round so bad they would not balance. He said he cant tell for sure but thinks it is the tires. He broke the bead on them and reseated the...

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    The adapter plates are not on inside out and yes I made sure when I switched the rear tires to the front that all the bevels mated up to the lug nuts. I have not had time to jack the truck up and spin them again to see if the wheel is running concentric to the hub.

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    I just checked this and measured to a mold line on the tire and the measurements are all the same on all four tires/wheels.

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    They all had at least 50 PSI in them when I got them and when I rolled them around my shop before installing them I am pretty sure there is no liquid in them.

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    Yes I have played with the tire pressure for a couple of weeks. With the M105 trailer bed on it, it seems very light and the rear end. On the rears I started at 50 PSI and dropped it in 5 PSI increments and am now at 25 PSI and as crazy as it sounds thinking I may try 20 PSI as they look and...

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    Well I can say I have eliminated the possibility of loose lug nuts. I just checked everyone of them with my 3/4" drive breaker bar and cheater pipe. I did get about 1/4 turn on some of them and just got back from a test drive and maybe I am just wanting this problem fixed so bad its all in my...

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    I can not be 100% sure about that. The only thing I can say 100% is it didn't do it with the stock tires and wheels. I bought the adapter plates from Peashooter. How can I tell if its the adapter plates? I used grade 8 hex head bolts to attach the plates to the wheels.

    Michelin 365 XZL Very Bad Tire Shake

    I have a set of new Michelin 365/85R20's mounted on 20" MRAP steel wheels I bought from Govt. Liquidation. They still had the Michelin stickers on the tires. I finally got my deuce bobbed and mounted them a few weeks ago. On the first test drive it shook like a dog starting at 30 MPH all the way...

    Lets see pictures of your stereo/speaker set up in a deuce

    I have a couple 6x9 speakers and two 12" sub-woofers and a 4 channel amp out of a single cab truck I had a few years ago that I am trying to figure out a way to adapt to the deuce since I already have them. I'm thinking mount three 6X9 spears where the back of the cab meets the roof. One in...

    Lets see pictures of your stereo/speaker set up in a deuce

    Yeah that was my thought. He put a LOT of time and effort into it. It looks good but that is over the top from what I was thinking. Cab corners would be good. Yeah see if you can find any pictures or links to that.

    Lets see pictures of your stereo/speaker set up in a deuce

    I am wanting to add a stereo and speakers in my hard top deuce. And yes I know before everyone says its pointless and I wont be able to hear it blah blah blah. I am not on here to ask for your opinion, I want the stereo for driving through the pasture and at the river. My truck is strictly an...

    LED vs HID headlights

    I am looking to replace my deuce headlights with either LED or HID headlights. I have bobbed my deuce and am making an off road toy out of it so DOT approved is not an issue and it will no be used on the road. I have searched on here and read countless threads about HID and LED headlights but...

    Van Sickle Oil Based Paint?

    I will soon be painting my m35a2 bobber 3 color camo but while I'm waiting on the bob job to be completed I am going to paint my MRAP wheels and adapter plates and get them ready to bolt on. I am going to paint them flat black. I am unsure at this time what paint I will use on the truck but may...

    Front mud flaps on a bobbed deuce?

    Is there any reason no one re-mounts the mud flaps in front of the rear tires after they bob a deuce and use a M105 trailer bed? If all the hundreds of bobber pictures I have looked through I didn't see any where someone remounted the front set of flaps. I see where everyone re-mounts the rear...

    395/85/20 do they rub

    I know this is an old thread but thought I would ask a question relating to this. Will the fronts rub on a M35A2 using MRAP wheels and adapters? I have 365/85R20 on steel wheels as well as 395/85R20 on aluminum MRAP wheels and trying to decide which to use on my bobber project.

    Wheel identification help.

    Can anyone tell me if these are MRAP wheels and if they are do they appear to be steel or aluminum? I am looking for wheels to use on a bobbed duece project. They are 365/85R20. Would they make a good wheel for a bobber or should I try and find 395/85R20? Thanks
