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.
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...
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...
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?
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?
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...
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...
