Just me, but I don't think of my deuce in monetary terms. If I did, I wouldn't own one.

Well, if you strip off all the old paint, you could always anodize them. I don't have MRAP wheels, went a different direction. But, unless you're doing the paint yourself, anodize would be the next cheapest method of applying a coating of some sort (it's much cheaper than powder coating).

Regroove tires take the bald tire and cuts deeper grooves into it. Retread takes a bald tire and adds rubber creating a new tread surface. Now, if you prefer to not have either of those, that's fine, but they are completely different processes and I'm not even splitting phone books here. All...

I would like to point out that regrooved tires are not the same as recapped or retread, and that section specifically only mentions regrooved. In my talks with tire salespeople I don't believe they can be impartial since their job is to sell me tires. This article states that retreads are ok...

I want to delete all but the driver's seat, but it bothers me a little not having any option for a possible passenger. I think I'm gonna go with https://www.suburbanseats.com/p/jump-seat-10-floor-mounted-flipup-seat It's just under 9" when the seat is up, 18" wide and just over 21" when the...

I have researched wheels extensively. What are you trying to accomplish? I should note, my research was for wheels made by commercial manufacturers. I'll be blunt and say home made wheels are something you do for enemies. If you're talking about commercially available wheels, your biggest...

The prohibition on retreads on the steers only applies to busses. See the link in my previous post. I know some tire places that won't put retreads on the steer wheels, but that's their policy not the law. I'm sure other places will mount them. I am almost certainly using retreads for my...

I don't like how they have a relatively small strip of rubber running down the center that is all smooth. It wasn't a big deal when it was dry, but driving on the highway with them in the rain they felt squirrelly. My thought is they were designed primarily for off-road driving where the tire...

Don't take this the wrong way, but do you have OCD?

You can also find them on Erik's Military and Surplus. Erik's also carry a heavy duty option, and if you buy a few of them send an e-mail and ask for a volume discount.

There is no "done", there is only a pause until the next.

But that's just a guess. I'm gonna have the tires professionally mounted and balanced, they can always put a lead weight on after they attached the valve stem.

Coming along. The hole is for the valve stem. There will be another on the opposite side, so it won't affect the balance.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Ok, I did some web searches. So, my machinist isn't a wheel guy - I couldn't find a wheel specialist that can work on a 24.5 wheel, so I went with a machinist who had a table big enough. I spoke with a tire place that does mostly commercial truck...

I posted a general question elsewhere, but here's the problem I'm having. Should the bolt holes be chamfered? I'm going with a dually set-up now and when I read about modern hub piloted wheels, the bolt holes are NOT chamfered, they're only chamfered on stud piloted. Chamfering both sides...

On the M35A2, the wheel bolt holes are chamfered. Are the wheels considered stud piloted or hub piloted wheels? I thought they were hub piloted, but in hub pilot systems, there is no chamfer on the bolt holes - at least on modern wheels.

Wheel blanks arrived today. 62lbs each, aluminum, chrome (bleh) - have to rattle can those, they'd look ridiculous on the truck. Machinist is the next step.

Couldn't get rid of my ndt's fast enough - I hated the things.

From the military or private sellers? I've seen a handful from private sellers, but I thought the government was done auctioning HEMTT's for the time being.
