Ok so I got back to the wheels today and took a closer look at them. Sure enough there was a bead on them. You can see why I didn't think there was one there as it was flatter than a pancake and perfectly matched the color of the wheel. I also learned the runflats are notched all the way around...

Paint it green and sell it for 3 times as much as the one off the shelf, lol

It will be painted, chrome was cheap.

Got some goodies in today to spruce up the 818.

As far as hurt to drive, if it's the seals in the turbo it could turn into a runaway situation damaging the engine. Basically the turbo is feeding the oil into the intake and unless you block the air it will run at max rpm until it is out of oil.

That would be better especially if monster energy drink isn't going to physically own the vehicle but instead sponsor it. Is the paint scheme going to be changed from either tan or camo?

No, a lot of is replaced the 6tls with group 31s because they are cheaper. You can find them at Napa and wally world caries a marine group 31.

Top speed the same?

I hope you know once you put corporate sponsorship logos and use it for corporate events it will require a dot number and who ever drives it will need a class a cdl. Even if it's not being used for hire it's being used for monetary gain.

Is there any reason you don't want to use group 31s?

I was thinking about going with that but I would like to keep my pintle on all the time. I understand it doesn't take that long to switch between the two, just rather not have to.

Not to mention the bunk beds in the back, ;)

I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a turnkey solution for the bobtails. My 818 needs a class V on it.

You have to find an a guy to reflash the truck. It is electronically governed to do 45. It can go faster but you will have to do a completely new flash as the flash that is in it wouldn't be available to your Detroit or Allison guy. It has been done by the fsr (field service reps) in iraq.

So I had posted earlier this week about painting the truck a midnight blue color. We figured out how much paint would be needed after painting the one section and figured I would be about 400 bucks just into paint. So took a trip to home Depot today and got some Vietnam era brown mixed up. At...

Juan I texted you a while back about it. If carnac can't get it I'll be coming down to get my tires later this month and can get the rim from you. Going to have a trailer full of tires headed back with me.

Are you coming through temple on your way to bret? I've got some paint I've been trying to get back to him.

Best of wishes to you on your trip. I have family in Baton Rouge area if you break down or need emergency site to drop something. Would be a better if you did this in a CUCV, lol

nopics Should be an interesting trip for sure. Stay safe.

If it's running during the emp then there is going to be issues with your control box. If it turned off completely it'll be fine.
