    Biggest tires on an M1028 with stock height

    The key to getting a 33" tire on is skinny rims. If you're going to put a 33" tire on an 8" rim, expect some kissing at the rear of the front fenders. Some little nips can help but I'd rather not hack fenders.

    Weight carrying capacity of a bobbed deuce!?!

    What current tires do you have? Are they rated for the weight? The weight on the front of a deuce is nearly 7000#. The front springs will squat a bit from the Jeep. Phil2968 has a bobbed deuce with front springs and last year he toted a 3000# chunk of engine to the GA Rally and it...

    Official 2013 Georgia Rally Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway Thread

    Jobs are such a major inconvenience. I've been denied days off again this year. I'll work something out. Can you pass my ambulance berth on to JW when possible? BTW, I have 3 HMMWV 37" MT tires on 12 bolt rims with runflats. These are off my M101A3 trailer. I will measure tread tonight but...

    Weight carrying capacity of a bobbed deuce!?!

    Once modified, it's anybodys guess. How are you going to bob it? Front springs, trailer springs? Trailer subframe approach? I would consider the trailer subframe method with it's wider stance more suitable for carrying the Jeep. What tire configuration are you considering?

    M109 with M105 Matching Combo

    From the 3 pics she looks very self contained. Neat approach on the second fuel tank and genset. By the way, is the genset gas, diesel or propane fired?

    1028 465/205 combo

    It's going to boil down to what you want. It would be a novelty to me and not worth the effort unless I could add an overdrive gear either via the NV4500 or Ranger Splitter. The 400 is very durable and inexpensive to rebuild and the 208 is really a hearty transfer case for what it is. It does...

    1028 465/205 combo

    BINGO! Lets look at the numbers. The 208 carries a 2.61 low range where the 205 has 1.98. The SM465 with it's 6.55 low gear can compensate a lot for it. It all depends on you, how much time you spend in low range and what you do while in low. The swap, while not overly difficult, does take...

    engine cans

    With that said, let me remind the younger folk. The cans do have drain plugs.

    New here

    I started with 5 tons, switched out to deuces when I could no longer sling the bigger brake drums and now I own only CUCVs.

    Rear brake help

    As long as you look up the single rear wheel 1984 K30, you will get the right seals.

    zero rates and humvee tires

    Doubtful it's the zero rates. Switch the tires back and take it for a spin.

    engine cans

    Yup, engine and can come in right in the 3000# range.

    Frame Stretch

    That is just too cool. I love the flatrack idea much better than a roll back style truck.

    engine cans

    6.2 can is about 500# and a multi can 1200#.

    engine cans

    It will fit as well but not with a supercharger.

    Old mail trailer

    Vintage U-Haul almost for sure!

    What was I thinking, 2/0is correct.
