You mean you actually like the RABS in these trucks? My insanity must be contagious something fierce LOL

Those Michelins, are they really for 15" wheels? Or was it just a typo, and they're actually 16s?

I lime things to work as engineered and then lime to improve on that...

Sixteens...typo..and corrected it. Have groving iron now need couple different tip widths and blades to do a nice professional regroove

That's what I figured. What's the load rating on these things anyways? Do they even list a rating when used in dually application? LOL

Hmm, wonder what 16" wheel has the weight rating to match that... What mil vehicle were these used on?

Cougar or buffalo armoured personnel carrier as pictured below...this one haz 325x85x16 XML Tyres slighty different but same weight rating. I can get 10 in canada for 2500 bucks...lol

Now I wonder what kinda bolt pattern those have and what offset for the wheels... Still kinda surprised they're only 16s, thought pretty much everything that is larger than a HMMWV already switched to 20s. This thing does have eight wheels tho, so maybe that's why they figured not enough wheel load to justify the 20s.

You will see...resting some build materials shortly!


So drove like 3 hrs to check out a few things...most importantly rims for ranger.....turns out the idiot doesnt know what or how to use or read a tape measure...the 3 inch centre hole turned out to be 2 3/4 after 3 hr trip...useless to my need.

But got 3 TEAM CVT primarys fkr free on way home at John Deere dealer

Also we bought this 72" gyro mower for 300 bucks...need a paint job due to some mknor flame damqge....nothing but paint and a plastic pto guard damaged.

Selling it may e for 1800

Yes the 2WD internals will swap into a 4WD case easily. The only difference is the output shaft and extension housing. All other parts are the same.
