I am in no way saying that anyone should break the rules, because I really enjoy this place and the people that make it great but it does seem like a real shame that this is such a big deal on this site. While he may not have done the best inspection, he may have saved a first time buyer from...

Looks like good work. I'm sure you will get the usual warnings about helping others and law suits and all that business but its always nice helping someone out.

I would suggest looking at speed ratings. seems like alot of the meaty tires guys like to run are only good to 50-55. If your gonna drive it on the road, might i suggest some OTR tires?

Guys! He just wants the switch to operate the clutch, like in the picture he posted. He plans on using it for another purpose. Say it with me, air switch, not clutch, air switch, not clutch..... :-D

I say...45.

I'm in oregon, with no MV and no previous experience registering heavy trucks. However I do a lot of research and think I know what the law says. In oregon the registration of anything that needs a CDL to drive is a big deal. If I have read it right they require a DOT number along with a crap...

True.....Kind of The friction between the wheel and the hub is what suports the weight, no matter how the wheel is centered (hub centric or stud centric). Depending on your travel distance and speed this may or may not be an issue.

I think that would look awesome. What trailer?

The big tires make that truck look so awesome. Makes it even better to know it actually gets worked.

I totally agree. Its neat seeing stuff like your truck being posted Bjorn but it is so much better when you can follow all the "little projects" that turn into big projects. You always include so much info and detail in your posts that it really make it a treat for the rest of us. So again...

Heck yes! I have always thought I could get my hands on a suitable large truck intercooler and make one of those things run much better. That and an upgrade to a modern turbo design...

as far as a blower, could a PTO powered hydraulic pump be used to power it, or do you really need a whole separate system?

resources tab on the top of the page. there's quite the list, so it might take a bit to find what your after but it should have everything you need.

do you have a service and emergency connection? You asked a lot of questions that lead me to believe you only are getting service (IE when the brakes in the cab are applied). I am ASSuming you need both connections on your trailer.

Well, sounds like a good plan. Downside would be weight, of the hydraulics that is, in such a small vehicle (buggy). I dont suppose a 130hp boat is probably of much use to you then... Jet powered tractor? forklift? :-D

HEMTT turning radius could actually be alot worse. Its suprising at times. if you have access to some cad software and have a good head on your shoulders you can totally figure it out. Anything less and you would be throwing darts. Copying a OEM solution would be ideal, but first you gotta...

Vote number two for boat.

I would take a file and run it on the ring. if it files pretty easy its a pretty soft material, if the file doesnt seem to want to do much then it might be some heat treated harder stuff. Get a split ring and weld two chunks together. Clamp in vice and procede to beat with hammer. preferably...

And that is what happens when you unlock the hub on the front rear tandem right? What if you took out the axle shafts for a long highway trip, would that be of any advantage?

Have you seen his sandblasting unit? In the ten ton thread its in the background of some of the pics, looks absolutely massive. I just noticed it in a few of these pics to. And the remote supplied breathing air. very neat.
