Bringing this up from the dead because ya'll doing amazing work. Hope you have done more to it since the last pics.

I think I moved it around the yard once. Oh, I did swap tires on it, I took the ndcc's off, put the tires that were on the back of the 915 on the trailer, and put some g177's on the 915.

 

[mdmorgan]

This was half way through the swap. I needed the more aggressive tires on the 915 because I was getting stuck in wet grass.

 

[DanM7890]

Those tires look great! Did you go wider as well or are the back tires in the picture just to move it around?

 

[mdmorgan]

I swapped all 8 tires in the back, that pic was to kinda show before and after. They are standard 11r20 g177's that come on a lot of 939 series 5 tons. One bonus that I was not expecting, was that the g177's were taller that the 11r22.5s that came off, so higher top speed.

 

[mdmorgan]

Oh and I think they are a little wider as well due to the more squared off shoulders.

 

[DanM7890]

They deff look taller but I was interested because they do look a little wider, make it's the fact they are brand new and have tread. Good look tread pattern though, should help you out a ton. Anything new on the inside?

 

[mdmorgan]

No, I found that the windows are leaking, even though we sprayed the foam over them, gotta fix that, but other than that, still the same. Working on 2 houses that are 250 miles apart + work + other higher priority projects keep pushing this to the back burner. Being an adult sucks sometimes.

Did you leave the G177's on 5 ton wheels or did you change them?

Nice build.

What part of TN did you buy in?

Left them on the 5 ton wheels, the valve stem on the inner wheels just barely pinched against the brake drum.

Just outside of Maryville. You may have seen a pic of my deuce on "The Dragon" with a mini bike on the back.

SWEET truck. I have seen that picture around the net. I'm in the middle of an almost-that-curvy piece of hwy 421.

I'm working on a 129A2C as well but mine won't be a camper only. Mine is basically going to be a mobile workshop you can sleep in as well. I salvaged parts from 2 373's along with the platform on the back. In the process of getting all the wiring done and heater in. I put two Coleman Mack8 heat pumps on the roof. 100amp service cable in. Then I power my wife's M146 off this trailer. Still way a WIP but I'll post a pic or two soon here.

For some reason this post won't let me put more pictures.
You can see the breaker panel and the DC power control box from the 373. The bed is a modified ship berth set. Still modifying.

Let's try a new post for pics

You can see here the power input port and the wiremold that I salvaged. Also the platform on the back. Lastly I mounted a few boxes underneath for storage as well.
