Very cool thread--- thank you very much!!!

We have been guessing what they weigh ---- fronts and rears, but does anyone have factual numbers??? We'll see who in my crew guessed the closest! Please post the numbers if you have the facts! Thanks!:-D

[thumbzup][thumbzup] To Daniel! Glad you made it home ok, D.

Unfortunately, punctures are a problem with take-offs. But we have had great luck with only about 3-5% problem tires. What we do is triple check them by looking at them everytime we load/unload and then again when we ship. Anything that looks suspicious gets thrown aside. I always inform the...

Havent been able to work on the bob much this week- but I did get the 14.00-20 tires on it. Just need to do a little paint work and she'll be done! (finally!) I appreciate all of the input on the trailer frame use--- All in all, I think it worked out ok. I will probably do it again, but...

It'll never work... :twisted:

Here are the 16.00 XZLs on HEMMT wheels on a M818-

Here is a snag that I ran into with using the trailer frame section---- There is not enough clearance for the driveshaft!!! So I cut out a pocket in the 2 front crossmembers and boxed them in on the backside. If I use the "trailer frame" method on the next bobbed deuce, I will cut and box...

It's getting there!!! Waiting on the tires to get installed by my tire guy--- probably friday. We are going to put 14.00-20 Mich XLs on stock wheels for this truck for now. Not sure yet if I am going to flip the hubs or not- we'll see. Need to get tires on, touch up some paint (I didnt plan...

Yes, I think blocks are OK if you fit them like we have done in the past, but I would prefer to have no block if possible. Here are a couple of no block pics-- I use 3/4" u-bolts, fabbed plates, and also welded locater tabs on the lower spring plate.

I am not 100% sure because the tires are all aired up and I havent messed with it- maybe if I get some free time (yeah, right!) to check it better...

Congrats on the new ride!!!

Clarke- I think your CTIS works!

Have not finished yet-- too many things going at once! After looking it over again, I have decided that the way it is boxed, braced, and welded it will be fine for this application. If we sell it, I will show the customer how it is done, and tell him to check the welds periodically. This...

I have never seen any for $3000, but we sell them for $6000. That is basically $3500 for the truck and $2500 for the bob job.

Good info- Thx Chuck!

Yes!

They cost me the same--- but I have too many with runflats- this is a way to sell more of them.

I have some 12 bolt wheels with no o-ring and no nuts--- $50 each.

Its all good--- I posted here to get opinions on this-- so I appreciate all the comments, good or bad. We are all about the safety for sure! I'll do what I need to do to make sure it is safe. Thanks everybody! I'll post as we progress.
