At present, I'm running 37 x 12.50 nitto trail grapplers on 20 x 10 Stazwork double beadlocks. They stick out more than i would like (about 1 1/2" ) but im the one that did the measurements so i cant blame John. Lol There is plenty of room for the MPT 81s should i decide to rock 41s in the...
I went with Stazworks on my 5500...........i dont have enough time on them yet to give you a meaningful opinion. But so far, so good. Really do like to have the option to air down.
Nice work and thanks for sharing! I've finally started on my 5500 build (thread to follow soon) and I'm trying to decide on the 335 MPT81s vs the 275's. My base C&C weighs around 3000 lbs on the rear axle which allows around 6000 lbs to play with before exceeding the load capacity of the...
I've used all these guys products http://www.secondskinaudio.com/ (no affiliation) and was very happy with the results..... I went with the spray on undercoat, then the foil stuff and then the closed cell foam mat. It was a time consuming PITA and $$$$$ but the results were night and day on...
I wanted to do the same thing and route the cable Ibex style.....but after crawling around under the rig several times, I gave up. Just couldn't figure out a workable cable route.
So, I'm now in the process of fabbing up a rear winch/receiver/bumper on the rear for a new Superwinch Talon 18.0...
"front unipack bearings are pretty finicky already as well as the ball joints used in those front AAM axles. "
The front axle on the Dodge 4500 and 5500 is a monster sized Magna Steyr 275mm High Pinion. It has 4" x 1/2" tubes and huge outer C's. (I think that at least a 1550 u-joint will...
Thanks for sharing your build with us......lots of good ideas here :) How high is the deck of your flatbed above the frame rails? I'm just starting on my build and need to finalize some of my dimensions while considering CG, overhead/cab clearance and wheel wells for MPT81s. Thanks!
I just received my weekly "spam" from JD and thought of this thread...... http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=1269&campaign=email021912........
I think your steel/wood frame will work just fine as long as you keep corrosion and rot at bay. I've had very good luck...
If you're looking for something that can be purchased used and relatively inexpensively, I second the Bigfoot.
I used and abused mine and spent 200 days in it one year. It was by far the best mass produced camper I've owned. However, I'm hoping to put an XP from Marc on my new rig.......:ylsmoke:
