Wow, that is one HOT ROD DEUCE if there ever was one.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
that's one option, but not necessary. As M1075 stated, there are three much easier routes. The max tire size for stock deuce rims is 12", as stamped right on the rim. 12.00-20's are also the max standard tire height you can run on the stock deuce, so you have no worries about finding a larger rim. Hot Rod Deuce did cut two rims and weld them together to make one wide one to fit the 16.00's, but also had to make custom springs and bogie arms. You won't need to do any of that. I suggest flipping the hub and running the wheel facing in like your inner dual is now. It brings out the best chassis geometry and puts your tires in the same track for better off road performance, but does admittedly look a little odd.Firefighter A.J. said:[color=cyan></FONT>
<FONT]That truck looks great MM. I am curious as to where the rims came from. I want to go to single tires on the back of my deuce and I was told that the centers from my rims would have to be cut out and used to make the new rims. This didn't sound right to me, so, I figured I would find someone who made the change and I would ask him/her.[/color]
Hot Rod Deuce made them out of DOM tubing after pressing the bushings out of the deuce ones. I'd think you could use a 5 ton bogie arm and spring combo, that is if the springs are not wider than the deuce, and will fit in the locating tabs on the rockwells? Am I mistaken?Big Daddy said:That truck is wild! I'm curious as to the suspension arms on the rear, they didn't look homemade are they 5 ton or some other truck? The looks he must get when driving it, probably stops traffic! More pics please, some off road would be awsome!
MM, Where did you find your set, and how much were they?Monster Man said:The "single" wheels are different than dual wheels, and I had a very hard time finding any. I located one set of six, but it had junk tires mounted to them in which case I would have had to pay freight, plus the wheels then swap off the junk tires and dispose of them. I passed for now.
