I thought about trying the balance beads but decided against it. I'm going to TRY and have them balanced, probably with the stick-on lead weights. I know they won't balance out completely but hopefully it will be better than nothing.

I placed the tire on the inner rim. I pre-lubricated the o-rings with petroleum jelly before getting started. When I was ready to assemble everything I started by stretching the o-ring to get it to seat in the "channel". I immediately placed the outer ring on using 4 - 6 standard nuts (not the...

Then I used my boot and a prybar to turn the insert in the tire. A couple of hits with a dead blow hammer got it centered in the tire.

I started mounting the PVC inserts and "new" tires today. I took some pictures to document the process . . . this may not be the best or even the right way but it worked for me. 1. I put some liqued detergent and warm water in a spray bottle and used it to lubricate the tire and insert. 2...

Got the front bumpstops bolted on . . .

Thanks. I ordered the "short" input shaft from JB Conversions today so hopefully that will do the trick.

So the CUCV Turbo 400 has a 4" tailshaft? And the 205 has the "short" input, correct?

When you say "205 short used the 4" tail shaft", are you saying the output shaft of the Turbo 400 was 4", and the input shaft of the 205 was 2 3/8, or the "short" input?

Does anyone know if the stock 205 transfer case has the "long" (3 5/8" stickout) or "short" (2" stickout) 32-spline input shaft? Also, is the output shaft on the Turbo 400 the same (length) for both the 205 and 208 transfer cases?

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner . . . it's a LoMax 205! If you're not familiar with the LoMax is has a 3:1 reduction ratio versus the 2:1 ratio of a stock case. They were made by JB Conversions but they stopped making them a while back because they just weren't selling enough of them. This...

Not an Atlas but you're getting warmer.

I had mine built . . . the original one was bent and not worth trying to rebuild.

This isn't my stock case . . . it's a "new" one. Anyone recognize what it is?

I was out of town for almost a week and work has been kinda crazy but I picked this up today. I'm gonna have to change to input shaft and bore the case for the larger Turbo 400 bearing but it was too good a deal to pass up.

I picked up 4 "new" 37's yesterday from MILITARYOFFROADTIRES.NET - We're declaring war on high tire prices!

I ordered some PVC inserts from Trailworth Fab, along with some replacement o-rings for the valve stems and wheels. I torqued the valve stem o-rings to 50 inch pounds.

I decided against doing the rock rings or powdercoating the wheels, mainly because I want to get the "new" tires and wheels installed so I can drive the truck. I did clean the wheels up and repaint them flat black . . .

Yes, I did the ORD frame reinforcement kit . . .

I've got another set of uncut fenders. If later on I decide I want to do something different I'll try modifying them.

The ports are for hydraulic assist. I bought mine from ORD, link here . . . PSC Hydraulic Assist Steering Systems from Offroad Design
