Is that the factory seat base drilled to match the seats? It's hard to tell with all the pretty bedliner on it.
We cut the original mounts off and put those parallel steel pieces in its place


Here is the rear. Custom cut aluminum plates replace the original ones and we used mounting hardware every 6 inches

So you mounted the tires without the runflats? I thought that was unsafe to do on the military wheels.

You are correct...the mil rim requires it as the lip on the rim is not a standard lip that will lock the bead, thus the run flat is a bead lock as well...if you go with no run flat, it should have bead locks...personally and through many many years experience on road and off....I will always have run flats.

The ride is a world of difference for street drivability. But I understand where you are coming from. If I were to really air down and tackle serious terrain, I would 100% do a different wheel and tire combo. But for what I use it for it will be fine.
