My mud truck build bad 395/85/20 tires?

[Watsonpreston]

3 bears tire shop in Dallas like 50$ each it's fine now I found out if the tube has the valve stem going the wrong way it will hit the steering knuckle on the front causing it to fail and very fast. It's working good I will be upgrading to 53 tires some time this summer the setup works good but is cheap and not the best way if you can get 5 ton rims and adapters is preferred or if you can afford high dollar custom rims

i got the mrap rims with the tires on them but them adapters cost a fortune to ship to alaska. thats whats holding me back.

I wish I had them mrap wheels if I did I would air down more scared of spinning a tube

I would immagine nearly anyone with a plasma table could burn you out a set up in AK. The only hard part may be finding some one with a 90deg champher to put a taper on the plate.

M15000 warn winch install will also be installing hidden battery right next to it for shorter cables. Ordering a auto tensioner and cordless controller. Need to finish welding it out and painting the mounts. 8 inch black rock kit should be delivered by Monday need to find a place to make the high steer arm have the cad file of any one can make it.

Got the lift finished up went great was a easy install a one weekend project the rivets sucked big time. Black rock fabrication did a awesome job loved the fact he sent the letters from the cut outs. I'm still waiting on the high steer arm from why not custom should be here this week. I was able to extend the link from the Waterloo power steering kit far enough to get it to turn right but it's at a really bad angle. The front spider gears the only axle with out a locker exploded maybe because of the tire chains. With the 8 lift front and rear the 395 tires will still hit the bed fully flexed still no binding at the u-joints but looks all types of crazy!

The high steer arm from why not custom arrived today it looked awesome wish my studs where a hair longer can't get a full nut will be ordering some longer arp studs soon.
I have bought a 24 valve 5.9 Cummins for a motor swap so I went ahead and turned the pump up all the way and installed a pyro. If the motor survives the 4th of July it will be getting a intercooler and water injection that will also be used on the Cummins.

I still don't understand all this "tapatalk" stuff. I have a hard time viewing them sometimes. It refuses to load. Wonder what that is all about ?

Good to see another forest service truck not going to scrap. Cool project.

Tap Talk is a phone app that simplifies the ability to view forums on a smart phone.

It doesn't allow you to do or see all the stuff a computer is. A lot of it depends on the kind of forum software used and how it translates back and forth.
