    Michelin 1600xr20 xzl

The tailgate is also known as the "REDNECK DECK". When I lower it all the way, I can use my atv ramps to load my bike. ( the table and bed...

    Michelin 1600xr20 xzl

    Does anyone know what the speed rating is on Michelin 1600xr20 xzl tires? I'm running Goodyear 1600r20 a2 tires now with a speed rating of 55 mph. However my truck will run 70 mph comfortably, I had the tread separate @ 60 mph on a rear tire recently and things got pretty exciting immediately...

    Broke down near Fort Leonardwood

    Thanks for the part #s etc. Due to time constraints I am forced to leave the truck where it's at for now. It's in a safe spot. Was leaving on an elk hunt tomorrow in it but have to regroup now. Again thanks to everyone who responded. Will update when I get to a real computer.

    1600's Thanks guys. These tires we a big part of my decision to buy the truck, but once i saw them in person i had serious doubts about driveability. I have been an off road enthusiast for as long as I can remember, and while I realize i don't know it all, experience tells me these babies may...

    Who has experience with Goodyear 1600r20's?

    1600's My truck is extremely light compared to a duece and I plan on keeping it that way. Prolly install a flatbed with w/dump capabilities for small bobcat jobs that I get from time to time. Haven't had the opportunity to weigh it yet.

    Who has experience with Goodyear 1600r20's?

    Ok guys, I need to pick your brains. I'm relatively new on here, found the site after I bought a CUCV. Long story short the CUCV wasn't cutting it for me, and I was yearning for a duece to bob, when I came across this 1985 Ford F700 4x4. (see pix). Decided to go look at it. The owner had been...

    No more powerless 6.2

    powerless Nice job!! I was toying with the idea of converting to a gas engine in my M1008, and just happened to mention this to a friend of mine who owns an auto repair business. His inspection tech overheard me and I was informed that if I converted to gas he would not be able to do the Mo...

    My CUCV spin on fuel filter mod

    spin on Sam27, here's a pic of the spin on filter housing that I'm gonna put on my m1008. It's from a marine application. if you notice on top of the housing there are 4 ports. Two marked in and two marked out. I intend to use the extra "out" port to install a small brass bleeder/petcock...

    I concur with buzzinhalfdozzen, if caster is incorrect, you won't be happy with any axle.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    turn signals on all the time @ bshupe, mine were on too when I got my truck, but I found that the front side marker lights and turn signal sockets had bad connections/grounds. As soon as I had those lights all working the turn signals indicators went out. Hope this helps!:beer:
