    Run flats. Yes or no?

    No surprise. I doubt you would see a problem at that pressure. I would not think it safe to run mine without beadlocks or runflats to act as a beadlock in the event of inadvertently running them at lower than safe pressures.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Toby, Are you going to weld it up ready for your cylinder? Ready for the dump? Just pin it down, or hold the front end down in the meantime? lookin good!

    I have a touch of storage envy.

    Run flats. Yes or no?

    Heard this from someone who knows a heck of a lot more about this than I do. Someone who trades tires on a daily basis. In volume. When running 16.00’s, if you do not use a runflat to keep the beads seated tightly, the sidewalls are so so rigid, they can leak slowly if you are running them low...

    Tiny House On A Steel Soldier “Redux” Expedition Build

    Living space is over rated. Shop space is never wasted! I can’t get anything done in my garage now. It’s like a bad game of Tetris. The more stuff you attempt to do the faster it stacks up and less room you have to take care of the original stuff. Then, before you know it. Game over. You can’t...

    Dallas-St. Louis S-250 Shelter or my truck and 20’ gooseneck for your stuff

    Anybody need stuff moved along this route? I can take a pickup bed or a 20+5 gooseneck. Still open to options. Dates are flexible too. here are some route options. Of course can deviate to deliver/pick up. This is just an idea of the route traveled.

    So, I am late to the party is what you are saying. How did I miss this? Do you have a dedicated thread? If its in the deuce forum, I don’t get over there often. See, I have this problem. When I start learning about toys, then I want one. Then I find a way to justify buying one. Then the...

    Are you making a dump trailer? Trying to figure out how to run your hydraulics? Off 24v or an engine? Am I late to this party?

    Those hard tops are definitely cool.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I hit a tree East of the Moyowasi in Tanzania in a Toyota Land Cruiser truck in 2005. There was a 1980’s vintage Engel fridge in the bed of the truck. They still use the old glass Coke and Fanta returnable/exchangeable bottles there to this day. Heavy duty bottles. There were broken bottles...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Looks like an Engel MT-45 in the corner? Those things are pretty incredible. I pulled the seats out of my 923A2 in Idaho and bolted one down between the new bucket seats in the center of the cab. Just barely fit. It was forced to take every single bump and vibration for 1600 miles as we took the...

    101A2 Adventure Trailer

    Made 4 runs with stones for the garden beds before any more work can commence on the rack. Priorities. Removed any rust that has accumulated since the project started in May. Polished the welds, removes any slag, prepped for paint. Started priming all the bare metal since the rack itself is...

    101A2 Adventure Trailer

    Short answer is that it’s the easiest one to use. I know the bearings are new and it’s here, while two others aren’t. This rack slides off easily anyway. I made the base with 1/4” gap between the angle and side so it won’t bind. I have a couple guys shoveling granite. Not me. I just went and...

    Can anyone back up a M101?

    This is not off topic. I launched my boat beside another guy on a weekday. No boat traffic to speak of. Three lanes. Three hours later I came back and his truck was there on the ramp. But his boat was nowhere to be seen. I felt his hood. Cold. Idiot launched his boat same time as me and left...

    101A2 Adventure Trailer

    The trailer got requisitioned by my wife to help re do our landscaping. While it was hauling decomposed granite, the rack had to be removed. Before I removed the rack, I cut and notched all the pieces. Tacked each one in place after tying a string around the uprights, aligned with marks at...

    Forklift driver ran over it, I bet! Luckily, easy to replace and plenty around. I too have a couple. Just another PITA!

    How difficult is it to get military trucks and trailers down under?

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Yes, this would work for 101A2, A3 or a 1101 or 1102. Here are three options from eTrailer. The top one is eTrailer brand, made by Dexter, no parking brake, middle one is with the parking brake lever, bottom is Dexter brand.

    M1101 Troubleshooting Bearings\Brakes - Terrible MPG Towing! What should I inspect?

    If the bearings or brakes were contributing any significant amount of drag at all they would have burned up by now. Slow down if MPG concerns you. A lot of surface area to contend with.

    M925a2 Power Surge

    Jealous that this might happen some day? Yeah. We are all pretty jealous ... it’s summer. No snow, homework, solar panels. Excuse season is over jack. Let’s see some engine swapping going on.
