Thanks, very generous offer. Hopefully I won’t have to take you up on it.

I go by the the “bring a raincoat and it won’t rain” philosophy, so I came as prepared as I could. Still lots to do on the truck, so probably not on the road until Sunday. Spent all day yesterday helping the seller get the truck ready, more of the same today, and then probably half of the day...

Thanks! Amazing that he can stand on something so narrow with balls that size between his legs:)

Road trip thread here.

On the ground in Maryland at 2:00AM loaded with tools and spares to break in my new M1078 A1R with a 2900 mile road trip home to California . Waiting for the seller to pick us up. More to come:)

Believe it or not, the CTI lug nuts delivered today! I’m on a plain tomorrow to go get the truck:)

Nice! I'm on a plane headed for Maryland to pickup my truck next Thursday. Can't wait.

Thanks! Me too.

Okay, as of Thursday the nuts are paid for and on order. The gal in accounting has been pretty helpful and said she would ask Hutchinson to expedite the order. Once Triman receives the nuts, she said she would contact me to take payment for shipping and said they would be able to ship them...

Sweet! I'll just letter roll then. Eco hubs and cruise will be on the truck, and I'll be giddy about finally owning one of these trucks, but I'll do my best to look miserable while on the road:)

Okay another Newby question. The seller has not yet received the SF97, so I'm thinking it's probably unlikely he will in the next couple of weeks and then get it registered in Wyoming, which would make it very easy for me to register is in SD. If he has been unable to register the truck and does...

I already own thread gauges and a mill and pretty much every other tool known to man. Problem is that I don’t have the truck yet. Picking it up in Maryland and driving it back to California the first week of October.

Old thread, I know, but does anyone know what size and thread pitch that is in the wheel. In the Dorman it's an M8.

Oh, I’m not taking it personally, it’s just amazing how inefficient anything that has anything to do with supply to the government is.

Okay, finally something happening, although it's an extremally longshot that I will have these nuts in time. Recieved the quote today $83 per nut and they are in stock, but I can't just pay for them and get them shipped to me. The red tape involved in trying to buy 4 nut is just ludicrous. Had...

Yes, I’ve thought about that, but that isn’t realistic in the time I have. I might need to figure stud size and thread pitch so I can find caps and drive 9 lug nuts and no CTIS.

Thanks, I’ll give him a call. Are they a manufacture, or parts supply company? One of the challenges is that Hutchinson has a patents in play here, so they’re the only manufacturer of these nuts.

Okay, this has officially turned into a royal pain in the a$$. Hutchinson won't sell to us anymore, and referred me to their distributor Triman Industries, which is a division of Blue Raven Solutions. The contact at Triman that I was given is Maurice Crudup, contact info below. I found I had to...

Can anyone tell me the size and thread pitch of the two threaded holes in the steering wheel for pulling it?

I already posted about this, but will post contact info for the guy at the distributor as well.
