My primary vehicle is a 2.5" budget boost lifted 2009 Jeep JK running factory 17" moab rims with Falken ATS 285/70-R17. I do have 2 extra rims/tires. To use them will require $210 in hub replacement and spacers.

Whats considered a heavy duty tire shop? Any national chains i should consider? I'm in AZ.

I've spent some time googling this and the answers are a bit inconsistent or just down-right wrong. Can someone help me solidify a solution? I have 3 tires/rims for my M416A1 trailer. Two are Cooper Cross Countrys and one is a Firestone. All three are dry rotted and have large cracks in the...

Can you use civilian equiv tires on the orginal M416 rims? I asked a guy at Discount Tire and he said, no. Reason: 1. The rivets on the rim can cause leaks when not using a tube. 2. Using a tube on a civilian tubeless tire causes a lot of friction and heat, causing the tube to fail. So...

Is this thread dead? I am looking for a M416-A1 data plate. David, I emailed you today, as well.

Oh, I forgot to mention. These bearing kits can be purchased from most online trailer parts places for around $25.00. This includes new bearings, races, seals, and cotter pins.

Well, since I didn't get a response regarding my concern, I had to search for a guy smarter than me (which was not hard). :) I met with the owner of Arizona Axle and he looked at the drum and said that it was an old marine drum for boat trailers. Not far fetched, since these suckers "can" go...

aua WHOA! Stop this train! What did I miss???? aua Did I screw up here? Bearings and Race. Is my M416A1 not the same as the M416? The M416 uses 4 of the same bearings for both wheels. I purchased two of the SET45 kits from Timken. I just read on G503.com's forum that the M416A1 has...

True. Good suggestion.

I found some modern replacements for the wheel cylinders. I added it to my original post.

I thought it was odd that only one shock mount was welded. After further inspection, it turns out that that shock mount was NOT welded. It was just stuck with paint, grease, and grime. With a LOT of brute force, I was able to break it loose. The leaf spring mounts are definitely tack welded...

No, I don't have a pic of the plate. Neither do they. I emailed them a pic of a sample plate. They said the cost is $150 because they would have to "create it". After that, it would be around $30 a plate.

Let me start off by saying that this site is a fantastic resource and you are all a great bunch of folks! I've been on here for awhile now, gathering data and prepping my rebuild. The restoration continues. I thought I would take a moment to share some of my parts finds and give a little...

Would you be so kind as to visit this link and tell me if this is the one you are referring to? It's at Willys Jeep Parts Specialists | Kaiser Willys Jeep Parts & Willys Restoration and the part number is: 805223 Thanks. Oh, how about the shock dampener? Any suggestions for that?

Could you share with me where you found the replacement master cylinder for your M416-A1? I'm in the process of restoring an A1, as well. It looks like I need some new wheel cylinders, too! Thanks in advance!
