the search function is your friend, and this is a paint a bodywork question that has been asked a bunch of times, these little meaningless threads are why SS gets so clogged up, search before you post!! dont be lazy about it

I pulled my hubs off and I run a set of big rig hub caps, they keep the elements out and I can just pop them off and install the drive flanges if needed, beats spending 2k! unless the locking hubs could be priced around 500 bucks I dont see too many 5ton owners having them just my .02

hey man, the search button is your friend, this has been covered multiple times, you need to search and spend some time reading, this will answer all of your questions.

here is a pic of the template in place, this is only an 1/8th inch piece but you get the idea, i am going to have the centers laser cut out of half inch after I make a few adjustments, these could be made to work with the 2.5 ton rockwell pattern also

I have been prepping the 925 body for paint for the last few days, I finally got some paint down, its the valspar from lowes, acrylic latex. So far so good, I have a few more coats to put down then I will snap a few shots and post em up.

I will keep this thread updated, I have a template in the works should have a center next week for mock up.

notches cut out to clear the studs that hold the wheel together, it will be welded on both sides, I dont see it being a problem, but time will tell, didnt know the aluminum wheels had 24, good to know thanks! Wheel center will most likely be 1/2" plate, opinions?

All 14 of my wheels are steel, I moved them from the trailer by hand. I have seen the aluminum wheels, they are really nice, I would like a set of those. I will look at the production dates and post them back up tomorrow, here is what I have so far for the new wheel centers

These are some wheels and tires that I picked up from french camp, they are the MRAP wheels but I am going to make new centers for them, should look nice on the new 5-ton :) the first 6 are the20 bolt wheels (a little lighter) and the 10 bolt wheels are the 7 and I am not sure what I am...

**** thats alot of sand! sounds like nice equipment too, might just have to go to your place to blast mine :) truck is looking good bud, I like the flag mounts, whats next on your list of upgrades?

Looking good man, glad to see it coming together so fast, where did you get the LED lights? and where did you source your Gillespie paint from? thanks

Gillespie forest green huh? ok where do I get it? or maybe a paint code? any help is greatly appreciated thanks

jcappeljr super nice truck! what color did you go with on this bobber? I looked but didnt see the color posted, thanks.

they will work on a 5ton but you will have to modify them a bit, open the innter circle up a bit and add a new center, this is what I am doing for wheels for my 5ton, I will take pics and do a write up after I get done

Nice truck man, looks like it got an engine transplant, nice wheels and tires also, post up pics when you get it, what are your plans for it?

looks pretty good man, kinda the same color I painted mine, except I went with krylon! :) keep up the good work

I will be pulling the 1100/20 off of my rig soon, they are the g177's and are just about brand new, pm me if you are interested I like the 53's also, with a turbo and some other mods like a egt I think I will be equally happy, although the 100/20's are a pretty nice tire!

I sanded and painted the bumper on my 925 today and now I need to figure out why my winch doesnt work, I will post up some pics after I get some more paint down
