I have Michelin XL tires and installed them based on the ad pictures by Michelin, however according to their specs it doesn't matter which way the tread is facing. If you're talking about the stock tires, well, the ND and NDT does stand for non directional.

It's your truck (I'm assuming), do with it what you want.

Does the price include mounting on your truck? If so, I'd say it's a fair deal. Certainly, compared to new, list retail, it's a steal as I once found these tires at around $1600/each and that's just the tire. I bought mine surplus (new or 90%) from the military, got the plates, bolts, nyloc...

As you can tell from the replies, there are a lot of options. You might want to think about what kind of look or what you want to use the truck for, list your budget and ask specific questions. Also, some of these options might need to be done by yourself as they may entail liability issues...

Got the new battery box, it's done with a thicker gauge of steel, will take twice as long to rust out! (hopefully) I wanted to put 3 batteries and wasn't sure if the plastic box would fit them, also, I didn't really like the look of the plastic box and it probably cost me the same or even a...

I am running 395 radials...will look into the caster angle and see if that helps. A search did come up with a few threads about wandering deuces. Thanks for the ideas!

I've put over 2k highway miles on my deuce and it's a struggle to keep it in the lane if the road is rough. Fortunately, I live in a state (WA) with generally good roads. There have been a few instances where I've had to drop my speed to keep it from careening out of my lane and potentially...

I am (not in order): 1)Rebuilding the cab to strengthen it and make it taller 2)Putting a roof rack on top of the cab capable of holding 1k lbs (see above) - when I go off road, I plan mostly on carrying water cans 3)Installing tandem 12v system (alternator, 3rd battery) to run electronics in...

I want to go here:

I've been thinking about options for a panel now that I'm raising the cab height. I'm thinking something at a 45 degree angle above the windshield with some glowing buttons and maybe some faux sounding stuff mixed in with the functional stuff.

Y'know, if you prefer glass, you might be able to get a glass shop, some place that sells glass for projects like stained glass. I used to get double strength glass cut at a place like that years ago for cabinets. There are a few stained glass shops around Seattle. The one I'd go to in B'ham...

I'm thinking I'm gonna be needing some extra room in the engine bay and going with an exterior air intake. I've seen pics of the m35a3 and am concerned at what appears to be an obstruction of sight because it sits pretty high. Does anyone have a comment about the air intake on the a3 and if it...

I cracked my passenger side window inside the first few months. I figure I can replace all the glass and buy some extra acrylic panes to keep as extras and I won't have to be so gentle with them compared to glass. From what I've read lexan isn't as clear and it yellows over time (see the...

Just some impressions of mine for this thread. So, I know you said you don't want to go the super single route, however, being 15% bigger than the stock NDT's (which totally suck on an asphalt surface, especially in the rain), you go 15% faster and get 15% better mileage. So, my top speed...

I've seen various extensions that people here have done to their cabs. I've also seen threads where people have lowered the roof. The reason I'm going with non-glass is that I once rolled up my passenger door window up too far and it conflicted with the frame and cracked when I closed the door.

I've already put on a new muffler (Donaldson), & extended the stack a couple feet (I plan on putting on a 7 foot camper in the box so the extended stack won't look as funny then). I don't want to relocate the exhaust out the back - life is full of compromises. I also have the D turbo. Right...

Approves of this thread:

Tap Plastics is a plastics supplier on the West Coast, never been to them, but they have 3 locations in W. Wa, 1 in OR and several in CA. I'm gonna go to them for my panes. Their website says they'll cut it, if this isn't too expensive I'll just have them do it otherwise I'll probably hand cut...

Update: Cab came off yesterday (3/26) and welder told me 2 weeks. What he's doing for me: 1)He pulled the cab off and will be using it for a model for new cab. He'll also handle the installation of the new cab and all the other work below. 2)New cab will be 6 inches taller than old cab -...

After speaking to the glass shop, the only alternative they could recommend was the Lexan. I had hoped they might've been able to offer an alternative. Doing some research on the web, I found one article that stated that Lexan (aka: polycarbonate) is 250x stronger than glass, and acrylic is...
