Chainbreaker had this to say on the topic -
"As one example: If i communicate to you that "I will bid on item #9999 if you bid on item #8888", which are the same model item but several are offered under different listings. The intent is you don't want to bid against one another to keep bids...
I agree with just about every point you make except that the supply of A0 trucks running low. I suspect we will be seeing them at the current levels for at least a couple more years...
Over 10k GVWR *and* the offroad stamp is what triggers the restriction. This combination is going to be the...
I think bleach is a bad idea.
Dish soap and a water hose. Then exposure to direct sunlight. UV kills it dead.
The above has been sufficient for KS climate. It probably would not be for GA/FL. AZ requires no moisture interventions. I have no experience with NJ so no idea there...
You're asking your questions specific to M923A2 trucks. The truck you're getting isn't an A2.
By asking your questions specific to A2 trucks, the answers you'll get will be specific for A2 trucks. Most of the time the answers will be the same for A0/A1 trucks also, but not always.
Eventually...
At 50-60% tread, presumably 2002 datecode or so, they have a retail value of $800-1000ish for the set.
Your potential market is the the deuce owner as well as anyone running these on a 5ton.
Edit to add pic of G177s on a deuce.
Also, my experience is that these wheels without tires have a...
Consider -
Cop has a decision to make.
Do i sit here safely and wait until it's absolutely safe to cross the tracks? While a nonbreathing baby dies due to my inaction?
Or do I roll the dice and cross unsafely and risk my life against a better chance for the nonbreathing baby to live?
Looks...
My understanding is the hardware that fastens the adapter to the wheels, even in grade 5, is stronger than the wheelstuds fastening the wheel to the truck.
It is also my understanding that grade 8 fails by snapping, whereas grade 5 will distort and bend prior to breaking.
This may be one of...
The way I'd do that is aluminum MRAP rims and adapter plates . Adapter plates are required to bolt the 10 lug MRAP rim to the 6lug deuce hub.
Before the MRAP rims became ubiquitous, you used to see HEMTT rims recentered from 10 lugs to 6 lugs.
Post it up on the transportation needs subforum. You may find someone going your way.
This is exactly the kind of thing that makes trips work out for me.
Between your trailered genset and bikeman's Tahoe maybe something will line up for someone and it'll get everyone's needs met.
Nah.... it is exposed to the pressure in direct proportion to the surface area involved. Nail head has maybe 1/25 of a square inch of surface area. At 50psi it is exposed to 2lbs of force. Dangerous to eyes? Absolutely. But in the scheme of things it doesn't compare to a decent pellet gun.

Been through there frequently in everything from a HMMWV to an M818 on 16.00's. I've got buddies in Socorro and Las Cruces.
I don't know what you have in mind for a hitch, but something to consider is hitch height with super singles. The linked post includes some pics of my XM818 with 11.00s...
Negative.
I have the M818 on 16.00's in AZ and the XM818 on 11.00's in MO. I'll be moving some things around and part of the planned trips includes the XM818 empty to KS.
Sometime in the next few weeks I'll be driving the HMMWV from KS to MO empty. Looking to offset fuel costs with anything I can put in the bed or tow on the pintle (3400lbs).
Sometime between a week or two from now and the end of the summer I'll be driving the XM818 from MO to KS.
Looking to offset fuel costs. Anything I can tow or haul.
Towbars available to tow anything up to another 5ton.
Route will be a straight shot across 36.
