Looks good, I just did the same thing with mine. Found them on Ebay fairly cheap.

I paid almost $500 from a vendor in Minnesota for a bald treaded, dry rotted sidewall tire and shipping to Nebraska. Took them 6 weeks to send it 2hrs from where I live and within a week of mounting it and not driving it more than 20miles I woke up to it completely flat. They refused to replace it or do anything to make it right, tried to blame it on the tire shop that mounted it, except it was already on the rim and me removing and reinstalling lug nuts didn’t do anything to the sh*t tire they charged me out the a** forIf you were in Florida i could give you 2 ok wheels. Find a way and they are yours.
There are a LOT of new-old-stock and barely used tires floating around the various markets - always always ask for the tire's date code before negotiating. I've seen sellers advertising brand new tires that were brand new in 2005, but are not worth the money and time-suck involved.I paid almost $500 from a vendor in Minnesota for a bald treaded, dry rotted sidewall tire and shipping to Nebraska.

I’m all for an 8 lug rim and tire combo, but alas I got other things I need done and can’t afford already. Like a 4 man conversion….More and more reasons to junk the two piece rims and switch to civilian 17 rims, unless you need the bulletproof inserts for some reason.
Know where Concordia KS is at? Do an bay search..... A one day road trip from you. Eye ball before you buy. My 2 cents.I paid almost $500 from a vendor in Minnesota for a bald treaded, dry rotted sidewall tire and shipping to Nebraska.

I did this on my M997 ambulance recently; I know what you mean. I think I spent half the time just figuring out how to get access to all those completely hidden bolts. Taking the halfshafts out is a must, I think.This job is a bear on the ECV/REV trucks. Had to remove half shaft to get enough working room on the bolts of the rear most A arm bracket. Much easier as a two man job for bolt loosening/tightening.
Where did you put that gauge to get the measurement?Rear camber alignment correction.
LR was at +2.3 +/-.02
Took out all (3) thick shims for a -1.5 correction.

Machined steel plate over hub face. The face area has a machined section with four holes for the recovery bracket.Where did you put that gauge to get the measurement?
I’m maybe 3-4hrs from Concordia. I got a hell of a deal after scouring the auctions every week for well over a year. It didn’t start at auction time which turned out to be a blessing and luckily I had retiredwarhorses pick it up for me and he was kind enough to go over everything for me and informed me that I did in fact have a hidden gem with 35 miles on it and only needed a few parts to get it back to drivable condition. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend retiredwarhorses for any of your work if you’re close enough to him. As far as tires though, I learned an expensive lesson, and hope to swap to 17” rims and as big of tires as I can get for selling a kidneyKnow where Concordia KS is at? Do an bay search.....

A: Concordia was in reference to your tires. From time to time I've seen hundreds of them stacked outside.I’m maybe 3-4hrs from Concordia.

The tapered trip pins should be 5/32" OD (like AR15 hammer and trigger pin OD), I found 5/32" OD zytel nylon round stock on ebay to replace the pins with a more durable plastic chemistry.Successfully repaired my turn signal cancel ring today. Matched up a bolt to fit inside the hole left by the broken off pin. Marked the correct length needed and then hack sawed off the excess along with the bolts head. Chucked the length in a drill and used a file to fine tune the length and give it a somewhat smooth taper. Used some superglue gel along with a very small piece of paper towel shim to make it snug. Works perfect and saved some $ for a repair that probably will not be seen.
