    Official Deuce Aftermarket Wheel Thread

    Will they offset the rim out from under the truck in the front a little more than the origanal A2 rims? One of Peashooters or Gringletaube's drawings would be great to compare the differances in the rims as far as offset and width. But all I've been able to find so far is drawings of the beads...

    Successful recovery now the fun begins!

    I installed the Donaldson muffler on mine, it has a single baffle with no packing. I did have to internally modify it, drilled a couple holes in the baffle so it would flow better. Other folks had good luck with it without mods, but I run WMO and fight high EGT's and the muffler pushed it...

    Possible Rim Alternative

    Here's a pic of a peanut trailer and a 6 lug rim. Something I forgot to mention is that the lug holes are only beveled on one side of the rim. So you'd need to either have the hubs flipped in the rear or have some way to bevel the holes. Edit: Well I thought it was a 6 lug wheel... Just zoomed...

    Possible Rim Alternative

    Don't have a answer there, and yeah balancing may be a issue. There was wieght welded to the inside of the rim like it was balanced at the factory. I have no idea if it was a origanal rim to the trailer but several of these were on his trailers.

    Possible Rim Alternative

    I was told the aircraft tires wouldn't hold up to the sustained heat of 55 mph and a load. The tires were prone to blowing and a single axle trailer with alot of wieght up top makes it VERY top heavy. They nevey exceeded 35 because of that. There are 6 lug rims also, this was all the guy had off...

    Pyro gauge install

    +1 I had mine beside the 6x6 switch and found it was too had to read or took too long to read and was way too far to look off the road in my truck. I also moved mine to the steering column.

    Cheap combat rim look??? So here's the pics, the rim came off a Long brand single axle peanut trailer with 6 lugs. This one is a 12 bolt rim but there are several different types of rims that come on them including 6 bolt ones that would all fit the same. I included a pic of the origanal rim...

    Possible Rim Alternative

    They're flat across the front like the combat wheels. So something like 1-2 inches less backspacing.

    Possible Rim Alternative

    Riding down the road today during a roadtest I happen to notice that a peanut trailer lug pattern looked alot like a M35A2 lug pattern and hub size. Specificaly the single and dual axle trailers they use to harvest with and then hook up to the dryers. I talked with one of my farmer buddies when...

    Fixing to do something about my spare now seeing as I now have one. I'm also running on 395's but I don't like the look of it in the stock location. I plan on putting it somewhere in the bed secured or loose at this point I don't know. But I do need a method to get into and out of the bed so I...
