It's called a Section Repair, I had it done on one of my Michelin XML 395s. It is DOT-approved, and I had it done through a local heavy truck tire vendor locally. My tire had a large C-shaped cut in the tread; someone tried to use a bunch of tire plugs side-by-side to repair it, which didn't...

That is just too cool...thanks for sharing! AWESOME!! [thumbzup]

Interesting, I've had NO problems with mountin/demounting beadlocks...they also make seating the bead a SNAP.

That is AWESOME! Those kids will remember that for a long time to come!!

I mounted my runflats w/Michelin XZLs on modified FMTV wheels; the inner mounting surfaces are similar. If I had to do it again, I'd remove the runflats & run without them. I had to use a 12-lb sledge hammer to "coax" the runflats onto the rim...I have no idea how I'm getting them off when the...

Yes. I run my Deuce MF on 95% WMO & 5% diesel/hydraulic fluid/gasoline (given to me when I picked up the WMO) as a wintertime thinner. I have the same sticker on my truck & the FDC has been bypassed. I have noticed a slight loss of power running WMO vs. Diesel, but the cost savings more than...

Carnac, I made my donation to the foundation with the proper SS notation a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for all that you help us with.

This is what I did: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?78217-Successful-Deuce-Recovery&p=1183263&viewfull=1#post1183263 It's just an inexpensive hasp from a hardware store, welded on the tank & cap (careful around the filler neck, it's soldered on & the welding might melt the solder if...

Instead of RTV I use "The Right Stuff." It's black like RTV, but is impervious to oils, fuels, solvents, etc...and instantly sets up as soon as you apply it. It is widely available at NAPA, Carquest, and I've even seen it at some O'Reilly's. I've yet to have a leak from anywhere I've applied it.

If it has the beadlocks, those are just inserts to keep the beads against the wheel rims in the event of low or no air pressure, so the tire doesn't come off the bead while rolling. Balancing beads should work just fine, I don't see how they could get between the tire bead & the beadlock. I...

Any updates Mik?

My bad, yes, thanks! My apologies for any confusion.

The Oasis RV Park on the south end of Las Vegas Blvd is a nice park, and dogs are allowed...my cousins stay there when they come through with their RV. The ones on Boulder Highway (east side of valley) aren't in such nice parts of town, try to stay closer to LV Blvd (aka "The Strip"). Good...

I'll bet he was! I'm sure his businesses are booming right now...

Yup, mine was covered by several heavy layers of CARC paint & undercoating. After removing all the overburden, you can just barely make out the VIN stamping on bare steel...it's easy to cover up.

Welcome from another fellow Sin City-er. Is that Ron's new toy?

Congrats!! Where did you score her from?
