The ride isn't much different, if anything it is better. The mileage is about the same, 11mpg or so. The performance is less because of the bigger tires, but it does top out at 70mph now where it would only do about 60 before with the 11R 20's. I haven't turned up the pump any yet because I...

$100 per set for equal? Why would you use that when you can use the beads for less than $5 per set? I guess if you have only one set of tires that you want to balance for the rest of your life then I could see it.

Some people that I know use the equal also. One of the benefits to the beads is that they don't soak up moisture. I have taken them out of a tire with 50k miles on them and they still look like new with 0 damage to rims or tires. The beads are tiny, smaller than sugar sand and they pour right...

I got them directly from ceroglass. The product is: 05145 BSLZ-3, (0.250-0.425 mm)Zirconium Silicate Bead.I paid $147.50 for the 50lb bucket in July of '06. You will also need to get some of the filtered valve cores. I got them from a tire supply store on the internet for about .50 each in...

Russ, are the wheels from Boyce 2 piece? Do they have the dished centers?

I used my own Dyna Beads. I purchased a 50lb. bucket of ceramic beads from Ceroglass. They are identical to the Dyna Beads from what I can tell, but they are only about $175 for 50lbs. I have balanced about 15 sets of tires with them and still have 1/2 of it left. Some of the tires that I...

Mudding video http://www.youtube.com/BobbedDeuce Here is a video on youtube of my Deuce in the mud.

I was also looking at Stazworks for wheels but found a place in Jax. Fl. that makes them. I can just drive there and pick them up. Stazworks has those pressed centers that are really nice for sideload stresses and from what I hear they are very good to deal with.

Offroadfabworks is a good choice for the parts. I think that you will be pleased with them. Any other pics that you might need just ask and I'll take them.

They are 12" wide x 20" with 6" of backspace. That makes the wheel nice and centered and nothing rubs anywhere. Are you planning to run hydraulic steering? Also, under NO circumstances, order wheels or anything else from USA 6x6! If you need anything else feel free to ask, pictures of...

Let me go out and measure real quick and I'll let you know in a few.

The middle axle will need to relocate for 53's so it will clear the fuel tank, If you were to relocate the fuel tank, and the spare if you have one after 53's, then you would only have to move the rearmost axle back at least 6".

Yeah, both rear axles would have to go back. The frontmost rear axle would have to go back to clear the fuel tank, and there are only about 48" between the axles to begin with, so you would have to move the rear axle back to compensate for both tires radius.

Yeah, probably not the best in the mud, but they ride nice on the road. I've only been stuck once so far and that was at the Fl. Rally. The other places that I've taken it has been fine. I think that the rear locker helps alot! I'm thinking about putting a front one in also. Got a few on the...

Yeah, I thought about adding a winch. I'm not sure if I am going to or not though. Don't know if it is worth the $1000 to get everything to put it together. I don't have the PTO or anything on mine.

I did have it down at the Fl Rally last weekend and got it pretty stuck in the swamp. Devilman got his Deuce stuck, I pulled him out, (had to snatch the living s**t out of him to get it out) then I proceded to drive right into the hole that he came out of to see if I could make it through. No...

Here are some more pics. A guy came over from across town with a really nice bobed Deuce with 11.00 r 20's xl's and we put them together to get a better idea of size. Also a Jeep.

Yes, I do need a taller garage! That is the biggest that the homeowners association would let me build. I'm looking into another piece of property that I can build my 60'x100' shop on. There is never enough room.

Thanks. Can't wait until Monday when the clutch and Pressure plate get here so I can drive it again.

Thanks,It is pretty big. I will take more pics in the next week or so. I am in the process of putting a new clutch in it. I will be taking it down to the Fl rally next weekend and I will get some pics of it next to stock Deuces to give you an idea of size. Here is 1 pic of my daughters civic...
