    Let's just say that you didn't catch that your left side wheels studs were all left hand threads before you already trashed one or two. Where would you get a replacement?

    Hello from Oregon

    Lurked here briefly intending to do a bit more research before committing but stumbled onto a local M1088A1 with a new set of tires and the gear swap done. The wife was already on board and after a test drive (it was even registered!) we took it home for less than a high-mileage 1-ton pickup...
