    M116A3 - First Overland Trailer Build!

    How will you connect the adaptor to the hub? Seems like protruding bolts will be in the way. Edit....okay I see some on eBay....aluminum and about 2" thick. The added thickness works with the wheel since it's big offset.

    M116A3 - First Overland Trailer Build!

    I think he plans on making/buying an adaptor. They are 170mm and need to attach to a hub 8 on 6.5. It would be easy enough to drill a second set of hole since it has eight, with the chamfers and avoid adaptors.

    M116A3 - First Overland Trailer Build!

    Good for you....will make a great base to build from. Apparently the A3 is a bit wider than A2. It should have free backing as well.

    M116A3 - First Overland Trailer Build!

    If I'm not mistaken, the bolt pattern of the Excursion is 8 x 170 mm and the HMMWV is 8 on 6 1/2" bc, so simply changing wheels is not an option. Or do you have an older Excursion like my 98 Suburban uses 8 x 6 1/2bc. Picture of box has my frame under it and 7 k dexter axle, narrowed for the...

    M116A3 - First Overland Trailer Build!

    I like the 116a3 and have a wanted ad for one, but with the truck you have, that added size will be useful if you go with a 1101/2. You will have to pay more, but I think worth it. The surge brakes are great and if need be, can be changed to electric. They are free backing as is. On either...
