The SRW Dodge hubs would be my first choice too. K.I.S.S. is very nice when you are a long ways from home.

So the studs would go through the rotor, hub and then your plate? If so then yes, I think that would be a great setup. The more I look at your axle pics the more I want to say its a Dodge product. I know for a fact that I have done brakes on more than one first gen Dodge cummins SRW versions...

Just from looking at your pics I want to say Dodge axle. I have seen more than one Dana 60 in my career. Now Dodge did use a Dana 61 front axle in their first gen Cummins trucks so they could run the higher axle gears so the Cummins would be in a good RPM range. Hmm wonder if perhaps Quigly...

Yes, it will send you to the great safari in the sky. Be carefull welding or cutting anything galvanized.

Yep I have played that game with my kids, its called what animal took a crap in the woods and what was the last thing they ate.:wings: I have also told my wife that if the woods is good enough for a bear then its good enough for her, so far it has only led to me getting a punch on the arm.:)

Dutch Blitz is a card game my kids really like and is kept with our camping gear. Another outside thing to do is identify plants, animals tracks, etc on hikes. Nighttime activity is star gazing and finding the constellations. Its amazing how many kids don't see the night sky anymore without...

No those are not runflats. If its stock they should be tube type tires. I would carry a spare as it looks like they are the stock 5 lug Budd type rims which came stock with 900x16 tires. Not a combo you will find anymore at most tire shops. If you were closer I would give you a spare for...

I am a flat rate tech so the faster I do a job the more I make.:) Never have used a cut off wheel to cut the cross section, do you have the room to do it? The heat from the cutting torch is a big part of why the caps come out so easy when I cut the cross section out. If all you have is a...

The torch is your best friend when it comes to old rusty u-joints and their removal. I actually cut the cross section out so just the caps are left in the yoke, then a little PB Blaster and hammer and they usually come right out. No c-clip removal required for this method. Before I cut the...

Wish I was going to Socal soon. This would look good behind my M38. How soon til you move?

Nice trailer. Shouldn't see this too long on the for sale section.

I wouldn't run those tires at highway speeds at all, maybe around the property but not on a public road. I would get some good tubeless radials if I was going to be doing much freeway driving or much of anything else. I am prejudice against NDTs though as I have been a mechanic in the service...

Wow. Looks like they did a nice job. AW Way is a pretty nice campground, never seems to be too many people there.

Yes and you could get surge brakes too. See my build thread for details.

That actually should be pretty easy because some GM trucks of that vintage came with dual batteries. I did a dual battery conversion on my 86 Chevy Crewcab dually 4x4 that I used to own. I bought the tray and bracket that goes under the tray from the local chevy dealer. Then I had to drill...

Nice Jeep. I did a double take when I read the thing about "husband and MY jeep".:elkgrin: I will have to show it to my wife. I would think twice about painting it black, especially being in the southwest. It will get pretty hot being all black. I would probably keep it the same color and...

Good idea. I know a firefighter I could get some hose from thats in pretty good shape. He got me some to make hinges on my ice chest when the plastic ones broke. He told me FD's don't keep hoses forever, I guess they have an age limit so they get rid of them and sometimes they are in pretty...

Yeah.

Here are some rough ideas for mine. The spare is going in front on the tongue. Inside the front section that is divided I will have water tank, battery, spot for firewood, and other assorted heavy items that will be fairly permanent to the trailer. Then build a platform on each side that is...

I took my hinges off a bit ago, need to do some minor rust repair on the doors. I have some old conveyor belting saved away somewhere for the new hinges. I am a professional mechanic so I have the tools to make jobs like this easy, all it takes is air.:)
