Wow, what a difference! Great job. Can't believe what it used to look like. Got any more pics?

 

[rizzo]

I will take some at the bog Sat. I will post them Sunday night.

 

[red devils dude]

WOW those tires are HUGE.

Are they Michelin XL 16.00R20?

 

[rizzo]

Are they Michelin XL 16.00R20?

yes on the hemmt rims. the front two are wider than the back to. I have the rims flipped the opposite way for the back, but the back spacing isn't right. I'm gonna have to flip the hubs later.

 

[DaveP]

are you going to narrow up the front or widen out the rear? or both. i dont have experience with hub flips. yet.

 

[rizzo]

flip the hubs on the rear.

 

[DaveP]

rizzo, have you flipped the rear hubs on your 5 ton yet ? i have 5 single type wheels ( thanks to hookin1 and eddeic ) that i think are hemit wheels. need 2 more. might check into a civy version for the last 2. i think the wheels i have are like yours so i will need to flip my rear hubs to make things line up. i was just wondering how much trouble i was in for. i wasnt in a big rush to do this untill citizensoldier and bigbee hooked me up with 8 of the ZXL 1600 x 20's most of them new ! now i cant wait to get'em on. cant imagine trying to locate parts and info without this site and the people that make it what it is.

Lookin Good!!

I havn't touched it yet. Started it up for a bog and a tire was flat, so I have to change that and put a thermostat in. I have an old thermo in that has the middle cut out, but it still over heats, so I'm gonna try a regular thermostat ans see if that helps.

do you have all your rims? I have a couple extra with no lock rings.

 

[DaveP]

i have 4 good rims and 1 that will work for a spare and a full set of flanges and lock rings.

Cool Dude!!, Do you like the 16's or do you think 14's would work better on the m813?

 

[rizzo]

they seem ok, but I don't have alot of drive time on it. the gas motor and big tires, doesn't have enough power to go down the road well. When i did drive down the road a couple times I noticed a softer ride than the 1100-20 NDCC. I'm gonna put the 1600's on my 5ton wrecker and that will be driven on the road often. I will know more in a couple months.

Also did you remove the front bumper for tire clearance?

 

[rizzo]

Also did you remove the front bumper for tire clearance?

it came without a front bumper. It has one on it now. I don't think tire clearance will be a problem. the military put 1600's on there 5 tons. so does Osh Kosh Equipment in WI. I have winch bumper on both trucks.

cool ok thanks!
