Forced? Well, yes because I had no access to spare parts, used or new. And no, because for me this represents part of the hobby: recreate parts and eventually improve something... It's fairly common to find those channels all rotted- from the lower end, upwards, and hanging loose; at least in...

... They...? Oh, you mean them... two hands/10 (fat)fingers....???:) G.

I don't think 6.5" is correct. Not for a 12+inch-wide tire with about 9.5" tread width. G.

Looks like I will have to dig a bit into my old files and notes... and post some more about it. Be patient! OK, here we go... picture #1 shows the end product, installed; #2 is a cross section of the actual door window frame inside the channel, fitted with carpet. The rest of pics give all...

Related to this...: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=149762&d=1256692157 ... a cheap solution and still working better than expected! G.

:ditto: to what Wreckerman said. All tire manufacturers specify 20x10 inch wheels for this size tire. And they usually know better... G.

You haven't read post #2... or??? G.

395/85R20 tires on stock M35 wheels Do as Gimpy said. Otherwise your rear track would be 14 inches wider (!) than at the front... G.

No problem! But don't thank me: I would't know stuff like that if it wasn't for this great Forum! (If you can't come down to our BIG SS-Party in October- I mean the 2014 GA-Rally ... then just send a 6-pack down there! :)) G.

Yes, the MAXXPRO MRAP and the M1070 HET share the same bolt pattern. G.

5-ton TM's to be replaced... Ron, thanks for the heads-up. I just took the time to open all of them (or most all...) and found 6 out of 24, which didn't work. See them listed here... I have also uploaded/ attached the "replacements" which all came from the LIBERATED MANUALS-collection (thanks...

Guess you should read post#5 (again)... We are talking about the only one rear axle left after bobbing... (still) fitted with custom double-splined shafts. Yes, the OP could go back to the stock, flanged axle shafts, anytime. (That's what I would probably do... long before any other...

Test....?? testing what, our neck muscles flexing?? ... Or how to put them upright? G.

He was asking about M1070 HET wheels. HEMTT and HET are NOT the same... G.

Bolt pattern is 10 on 13.188" (=335mm) Pilot hole is 11.06" G.

... on the hood ? Take pics...!;) Someone at least caught that one... thanks TWM! G.

I would NOT weld anything to a shaft that certainly is alloy containing some carbon, not just mild steel! It is just too risky that the weld would crack and that bolt ended up in between two gears... I would investigate if there is something like a short cylinder - same diameter as the...

Ahh.. I see now, you had more than one problem there... First, the "auto-lock" issue which was probably solved somehow. But you also had this extreme shifting left to right, maybe over one inch!? I'm sure that those axle shafts would have worked OK with the stock differential parts and that -...

If we are talking about the front axle shafts, yes. The early 4-ball CV-joint shafts were true constant velocity shafts but not as strong as the cross U-joint style. G.

LOL.... Let him do it, so we all can learn... (what not to do!) :-)
