Loaded 400 pounds in the back and 2700 pounds of car to a trailer and hauled it all ftom Lemoore over I the grapevine, through LA, to San Diego. All with my 09 on ee inch tires.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
get centramatics, they work. My 39 inch tires ride with zero vibration at 75 mph.
I had balance beads and Hutchinson bead locks, truck ride was terrible and got worse when one bead lock came apart.
built my own pvc beadlocks, bought these centramatics and the truck ride is incredible.
you can get PvC beadlocks for the 12 bolts from "trail worthy fab" My rims were 16 inch so I had to make my own. Highly recommended for weight and balance. the PVC weight is about a third of the hutchinsons or other rubber inserts.
last picture is centramatic on stock 1008 rim, they do not work with stock rim but do work on most others including hummer takeoff rims.
Removed nasty floormats and jute backing that felt damp. Some rusty areas but no perforation! Will wire brush, apply Eastwoods rust converter, prime and paint. Will install minimal floor mats like in M1009 and hopefully avoid more rust. Found log book under seat but no useful information just forms to fill out if accident, etc. Vehicle was assigned to DOL, Ft. Hood but bumper markings partially painted over.Charged the 6TLs, painted the rusty air filter housing, cleaned the filter wrap,removed the door signs fromdoors with heat gun and razor scraper,degreased rear differential ? seal, cleaned filler neck hose area that leaks. Floor mats tomorrow! I can't wait..
