    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Affirmative, makes sense. Not that I doubted my source in any way. Just checking real world. I am sure 395s will be plenty. The debate about giddy ap might we'll have to do with tire CONSTRUCTION more than size. Less rolling resistance in the more modern tire. Hits the "sweet spot" in the...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Bwana, looks AWESOME. I had originally thought about the BFTs when I get to "singling out" ( no copyright, freeware) Exit Strategy. Was advised that I'll have almost no articulation of the bogey without mashing the van body and she'll be a site over 12 feet tall at the crow's nest. Any input...

    Are Runflats worth trying to save???

    Just gonna reiterate what I've said before, IF you ever experience a rapid deflation ( blow-out ) of a tire on a steer axle at Highway speed and DON'T have a run-flat insert, May whatever deity you prefer protect you.

    AM General M934 How difficult is it to find repairs & how much will they set me back?

    Nomadic, it just wasn't engineered to be "water tight". Then they used fiberglass mat insulation and cheap plywood. Like a big dang sponge. Keeping the seals in good shape is really the only defense. If they're shot it's a constant battle. The way I laid mine out was planned so that even if...

    AM General M934 How difficult is it to find repairs & how much will they set me back?

    Nomadic, The M32 body is known to leak at all the joints involved in allowing the expansion. I plan to build "awnings" on the roof to cover the longitudinal roof joints. Not gonna worry much about the vertical joints as I will be mainly in an arid environment. I will also not be using...
