Haha I just was having a discussion about putting 395's on a m105. Other than looking cool, you really lose capacity by having tire rub issues. IMO if you want max capacity for something, keep it original from the manufacturer.
Very true. This is why I said keeping the stock towing/ carrying capacity. All I stated was what the tires capacity is, and not anything about the truck being able to tow/ carry more weight. I just wanted to clarify what I meant.
It all depends what you do with it. I'm not a fan of flipping the hubs and like the dish out look, also yes flipping the hubs puts more strain on the hub bearings. Another thing is, once you put bigger singles on a stock 140 hp multi fuel deuce.. How much weight are you really gonna be carrying...
Depending on what Tires you use. A 395 size tire is approx 12k pounds capacity per tire. So depending on what rim and tire you use when singling it out, you may have the same carrying capacity.
I'm guessing you mean a "bobber" vs a standard 6x6 deuce. A 6x6 will out offroad a bobber, but a bobber Will be lighter and have a tighter turning radius. Each truck has it's advantages, mostly it is your preferance and what you are doing with the truck.
I'm trying to convince the ol lady to let me go Sunday haha. We're supposed to have no more trips or camping till after the baby is born next month. I really wanna take the deuce and a half out there though.
Anyone planning on goin to Azusa canyon this weekend for the corva event? I was thinkin about driving my deuce there Sunday. I have never been there yet.
I'll be taking the deuce to Johnson valley (cougar buttes) this weekend. I'll be heading out Friday afternoon apr. 18th and coming home sun. Apr 20 on Easter. Hit me up if anyone wants to join or meet up!
