Nevermind, it finally clicked for me haha

So I'm reading up on these Torsion Free subframe concepts and I was hoping someone with a lot of knowledge could possibly elaborate for me. Basically my main question is regarding HOW the subframe moves independently from the trucks frame. Every subframe design I've seen has 2 pivoting mounts...

Yup Im right in Hauppauge

Are you located on the Island? I'd love to come check out your rig if you're willing to show it off haha

Is that Kings Park Psychiatric Center?

Gotcha, so now its just a matter of figuring out how to store and swap a 200 pound wheel haha

Was not aware of that, definitely good to know. So I guess the idea is to have 1 spare that works in all 4 positions?

Well the 10.5R20 is rated for 4600 pounds so having a DRW setup in the rear would net a total tire capacity of about 18k pounds. That tends to be in line with most single configurations that will run Goodyear MVTs that are rated for like 11k each so total of 22k. I was just thinking in the case...

"NeverEnough" is the Original Poster. His build inspired me to do an "Expedition Vehicle"

I've always been curious as to why so many people are so adamant about switching to singles. I've been following closely with the international 7400 and super custom pop top camper build and he had a couple scary blow outs with single rears and went back to 24.5" dual rear wheels. I'd like to...

I dont need 33k capacity, moreso just trying to figure out how someone would run a dual rear setup with 20" military tires, considering all commercial wheelsets I've found are 19.5 or 22.5, and I havent seen any military style wheels that allow for dual configuration.

Is there any way to run a 20" dually rear configuration with "military style" (MPT, XZL, MVT) tires? I noticed that Goodyear advertises their G272 MSA and G386 MSA (both 12.00R20) in dual configurations so I figured it has to be possible.

I'm not dead set on a dually config, but I'd like to have the option and was considering dual 10.5 wide MPT81s in the rear.

Yup something like that. I would go with something much less flashy/ugly but yes thats what I meant by consumer. I'm looking at a vehicle thats 10x285.75mm lug pattern and was trying to figure out how I could do a 20" dually setup in the rear.

might be a dumb question but what are those extra bolts on the face of the wheel for? Does it just allow you to mount and dismount the tires without a machine?

Currently trying to plan out my tire setup for my near-future expedition vehicle. Theres a million different routes that I can go for tires and I was kicking around the idea of doing a dually setup. Now I know theres a lot of argument about whether or not its the best option and I'd prefer to...

I don't have nearly as much experience as some of the other guys on here, but personally I'd go with the larger water capacity. Outdoor storage you can always find work arounds, like tow receiver carriers, or roof baskets or a front bumper carrier, etc. Fresh water holding you can't really get...

Well 3PMSF rated All terrains are certainly not the same as snow tires. I have 2 separate sets of tires for my overlanding SUV (one set of 3PMSF rated all terrains, and one set of dedicated snow tires) and there is a HUGE difference in snow performance. I run my 3PMSF rated All terrains in the...

Only downside I've found with the Ridge Grapplers is that theyre not 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake) rated, meaning the rubber compound isn't ideal for very low temperatures. Now this whole rating seems to be a huge controversy because some people say decent all terrains without the rating...

@Vampergt4 i know theres some talk about duallys rubbing while airred down and creating an issue, but from the research I've done its all theoretical and/or hypothetical. Haven't found one example of someone having a blowout because of rubbing caused by airring down. Rocks in between may be more...
