Hey all, I picked up this old girl a few months ago and I’m cleaning up up to use for a tool hauler for my construction business and a overlanding camper when it’s unloaded.
I plan on welding a rack on top for a RTT to be mounted to and carry my ladders for jobs. The thing I’m having a hard time figuring out right now is how to change out from the original split rims to a more readily available and user friendly solid rim. I’ve done some reading and it appears that most people do a full axel conversion just to change out the wheels. Is this the only option?
thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.
