Got all 6 tires mounted on the truck Friday, now I need to figure out how to modify the spare tire carrier for the spare.
I think the 16s without runflat inserts are lighter than the 14s with them. Though maybe I was just tired at the end of the day when I had to move all the 14s.
Finished up all seven tires this morning. Got it down to about 45 minutes per tire including air up. Now to find time to get these mounted.

Glad this thread is back up near the top, I need to start trouble shooting mine again (never did get it working, I think it is electrical as I have never heard it even do a pressure check).
The other question is it is worth trying to make the system work with HEMTT wheels and 16.00's?? Has...
I have the solargizer, mounted the panel on the shelf in front of the passenger side windshield. Keeps everything topped up perfectly. I’m gone for 2-3 months at a time and the 5 ton always cranks right up for me when I get home.
Thanks to Digger09 I got my second griddle and did a big cook this weekend. It was the last race of the high school mountain bike season and we cook for the kids and all their family members at all 5 race weekends. Nothing like getting 2 griddles going at the same time to cook 15 lbs of bacon...
I have been out of the country for 2 months for work but my MKT is currently having an electric over hydraulic brake actuator installed along with LED tail lights and some air shut off valves. Will now have the capability to tow with either my 5 ton or my truck and still have brakes...
