I went out today and painted the tire carrier. I also installed a temporary security cable.

Valve stem going to be an issue too. It does not go in both directions like the combat rims.

I would not recommend a drill bit since it could catch and ruin the hole and therefore ruin the rim. A reamer is designed to shave metal off.

You can always try a machine shop too. I am sure they got reamers out there at different angles. You just need to know what angle you need.

You can always try a real large pipe reamer. Since they can ream steel pipes they should be able to give you some bevel on the lug nut holes. RIDGID makes some real good ones.

I found some pictures of the tire carrier on the web and want to share them.

The mount point for the tire carrier is military issue. I just mounted the assembly on to a M1008 bumper -which I reinforced and modified to fit the genuine military tire mount. I would bet that the special bolt used is hardened to withstand abuse. The smooth (unthreaded portion of the bolt)...

That is your opinion. i have had mine on for quite a while and ran the **** out of it when i had issues the fuel flow earlier this fall. It runs great and does not seam to eat up the batteries after A LOT of cranking. I got mine on AMAZON with the 2 year warranty. I have the link to it...

Since not everyone is following my thread on the m1008 modifications I thought it would be nice to add this mod to this thread. I installed a used HMMWV tire carrier on my M1008 truck. All parts used are Military surplus parts from trucks and engine container. No animals were injured during...

You can buy 4 or 5 of the M939 trucks in running condition for what they paid for these HMMWVs. Al the 5 ton trucks can be titled for the road too. To me it's a no-brain er. 5 tons rule! :tank:

If you need a replacement control box i have used ones for sale. Just PM me for details.

It lowers and raises the spare tire so you don't have to brake your back lifting the spare on to the carrier mount. I will try to take a picture of it in the down position when i get a chance.

After drilling the two holes for the mounting bolts I was able to install the corner piece I fabricated yesterday. I cut a 1/4" thick plate 3-1/2" x 5-1/4" plate that I used to reinforce the inside of the bumper. I removed the 2 original bolts from the bumper corner. Then I marked the backing...

I would recommend checking the grounds to the chassis and other locations to make sure you have good ground.

I have been busy with holiday sales and getting the Roboimpact drivers ready for sale. Today I decided to work on the HMMWV tire carrier project on my truck. I decided to use some heavy angle I had from stripping out the engine container. I cut 4 pieces of angle to length and sanded them...

I had that happen on my M923 with the LED headlights. I smelt smoke from the switch. Lucky it was a sticky switch. Got it replaced and all the trouble went away.

Vibration could loosen them.

What is the price on the 14.00-20's?

Sounds good. I clean one up for you.

It's standard. Had mine replaced do to missing key. (was not original military key pattern when recovered)
