Yeah the only spot I got stuck. I'm sure if I had played around some, used low gear, and aired down the tires I probably would've gotten over that hump. That spot is a mix of loose and 'rock sand', so i figured it would be a fun spot to play with since it was close to home.
That chassis and bed combo has already saved my a$$ twice when I was loading and unloading my Harley. If the chassis hadn't been tucked up underneath the bed I never would've been able to get close enough to the two berms I used to get the bike in and out.
My speed limit is literally 1-5 mph...
I would post pics of my truck in a couple spots but the **** pic uploaded won't work. I live out on a fire trail so my roads aren't smooth at all. I used to think that they were OK to rough, but that was with my 1 ton van, since getting the 5 ton and driving it out here I've since changed my...
Now that is a good idea! Might be able to use a tap and thread the hole in the rim as well, then put a nut on a bolt and then thread both into the rim before welding the nut in place.
Hwy is 70, X-C is 35, Sand is 25, Emer is 12, Run Flat will dump air into the tires to get you out of a hotspot. This applies to all trucks except the wrecker.
Its in the 9-2320-272-10 TM
I like how that looks, I'm going to have to space the frame for the ISO up a bit anyways since the cargo bed is reliefed on a couple of the bed frame pieces. I was originally concerned that lifting the "bed" up too high might make it look retarded, but 3" isn't hardly noticeable.
I got the old fitting for the fuel line itself loose, cleaned it up and rethreaded it into the pickup tube fitting and tightened. Still leaked, but far less, and this time only at the base of pickup tube. Tried to take it off, but wasn't thinking at first and wrenched in the middle where it is...
That's just as easy, you just have to remember that the first number is in mm instead of inches. the second number is the sidewall ratio in percentage of the main tread.
395*.85=335.75*2=671.5mm sidewall total
671.5/25.4(mm per in)=26.437in
26.437+20=46.437in
To get it home I had to put pressure to the tank, once I found the right amount lol it was a fiddly dance of too much and too little. But I got the truck and a few other things home after losing a few gals of diesel. I might try to fix it today, but if I can't it's not a big deal, since I have...
Yeah that's the plan, I doubt the air will break the break the rim halves apart 100% but hopefully it'll be enough to get apart the rest of the way by hand.
Well I got it back home, only took a few times of losing its prime once I put some air to the tank. Found the leak though, the fitting at tank. Going to look into a better solution.
I was just putting it up there on what I came across, mind you everything that was done was at night so it wasn't easy to see anything. I suspect the primer lift pump but I want to make sure that it isn't a break in the fuel line somewhere first. I can do that with the air pressure as well as...
Last night I went out for a ride and quickly found myself stuck and stumped. I hit a bump that didn't look rough, but bounced us around like popcorn in the cab. A short distance after that the truck died with no notice. Fuel tank was still full (3/4-7/8), so I figured to see if if there was air...
Took the truck out to a local spot and had a little fun, also happened to answer some of my question. Now I just need to find a dummy load of about 8k.
