John,
So would you say this is a better option? A 16x7 wheel with 4 inches of backspacing? I am struggling on finding a wheel with the same dimensions you referenced. (Please see the link below to the wheels i am referring to)
The last thing I want to do is cut the axel, or anything like that...
Thanks for the info,
So what rim dimensions would you recommend so that the tire stays under the fender? What kind of backspacing am I looking for?
Again, I am new with figuring out this kind of stuff. Maybe a link to a wheel will help also.
John Galt,
I do agree with you, and on the same page. I plan on keeping the hand brakes. I use them all the time. I do not care really if the bolt pattern matches my towing vehicle or not. I am more concerned about the style matching somewhat, just for looks. I just prefer having the same size...
I it does seem like it is pressed together, I did remove those two screws that hold the drum to the hub. Still not budging. I guess its fine if it doesn't come apart. I plan on keeping the hub.
Thanks, Any advice on getting the drum off without taking off the whole thing? Ive used PB Blaster, pry bar, and a mallet. Nothing is budging, I just wants to come off as one piece as I pictured above.

My end goal is to have a...
Getting the rack up isn't a problem at all, as long as you don't let one side of the rack get to far up before the other side. Getting the rack down does take some effort, but I just have another person jump on top and that is enough weight to push it down against the gas struts. Each strut is...
I went to the local machine shop and they had the perfect size pipe to fit inside the stake pockets for the M101A3 . The stake pockets are 2"x1.5" and are 12 inches deep. (at least mine had a stopper in there right at 12")
At first it was a little tight fit, but after playing with the pipe...
Do you have any type of braking system after removing the surge brakes? If not, how does it tow with no brakes? I am thinking of removing the surge system to save weight as well. And would it be possible to keep the hand brakes while removing the brake drums? Or would the drums need to stay if I...
