    FMTV wheels (peashooter)

    I'm just having trouble finding some .5 steel plate. The machine shop at my work is going to cut it and will cost me nothing. But when I call the local steel places, they don't carry .5 plate. Honestly, they didn't have 3/8 either and we're going to have to order it. Maybe they can order 1/2 as...

    FMTV wheels (peashooter)

    One last stupid question. I went to talk with the machine shop and of course they said that they could cut the adapter plates. Why .43-5" steel? I've seen the the MRAP adapters that are 3/8". Also, 3/8" is still thicker than the stock wheel. I was just debating about making them out of 3/8"...

    FMTV wheels (peashooter)

    I'm just trying to figure out options and you all are in the know. I'm just dabbling in your world. My thought is that if I mounted the adapter in the middle, the wheels would have a cleaner look. Sealing the adapter to the inside of the front plate would be easier than cutting a groove for...

    I will still have the lug holes chamfered on both sides. That way they can be rotated. I did just notice, based on your explanation that your plates are different than the ones that I had originally saw posted by peashooter. His mounted to the face if I remember right, probably because they...

    FMTV wheels (peashooter)

    Thank you! You guys are awesome! The wheels are actually going on an old Ford truck. That's why I want the cleaner look and opted for the LMTV modification over the MRAP. This also gives me alittle better backpacking for my application. I think I'm just going to order my other two wheels...

    FMTV wheels (peashooter)

    I know, I'm pretty late to the game here. I'm wanting to run 395s and have acquired a very reasonably priced pair of LMTV wheels (still looking for the rest). I have seen the threads where "peashooter" had made some adapters that bolted to the perimeter studs to allow someone to run these on a...
