    Dually tires

    Does the inside tire have a long stem that reaches to the front of the outside tire? Look up dual tire pressure equalization systems. They're around $65 a side. I used to be in the semi truck tire business, these are very common and easy to use to inflate both tires at once.

    E4OD 2wd adapter to T-case

    I've been chatting with GScott in PM's. Glad you put all this out there. In the first pic, it shows the adapter is 5.5" long. Worst case if anyone know how to weld, all you would have to do is weld two 1/2" round plates to a piece of DOM tubing and brace it. Boom, adapter. I was confused...

    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    Did a little shakedown run. Wife has been yelling at me about going camping, so we went. We went camping at the base of the "Fugitive" dam on US129. Basically the base of Tail of the Dragon. When you cross the bridge coming from Robbinsvills, NC., take a left and that's free camping on the...

    2000 Ford 7.3L Motovan build (225's build cont'd)

    Finished the lift. Made a run to the dump lol... I always had shaking like the wheels were out of balance. I've tried regular balancing, balance beads, etc.. Nothing worked. The more I took my wheels off I realized that it had to be the wheels. Upon further inspection, I saw that only...

    How often do folks get flat tires (or need to use a winch)?

    I got stuck in the mud once. Lost a tire and broke my winch. Since then, I've been more careful. But, I have used my winch a lot. Mostly for pulling people out of ditches.
