If you wonder about the resale, then you should not customise anything. I have never had a standard car, I always make whichever anything I own "mine", why put up with the design compromises the manufacturers make to try and sell them to as wide a market as possible.

Your truck looks great Jose, and you are making it suit your needs, not that of a mass market. Keep up the good work

Thanks Ian, I Think we have the same point of view , I like to make all by myself....so next steep is the distribution of the cabine, I expect to be ready for December, even if is not 100% , I would like to make the first trip to Moroco, specially the Atlas, maybe is to long for first time whit it but i Think the truck is very reliable, just in case

[Iain_U1250]

Sure is a lot of bolts on those wheels . Do you know how much that weighs?

 

[Jostt]

Just 122 kg.....jeje

A Hutchinson 20x10 2 piece rim weighs 38kg, bead lock about 7-8kg.
The steel rim it replaced weighed 53kg.

Care to share the specs / drws of the 6 bolt to 10 bolt adapter plates you used for the Hutchinson wheels? Very interested. PM me if needed with additional details.

Wheels...

Seeing the comments/interest in the wheel conversion jogged my memory... Here's a YouTube vid of an older Mog playing that's had a wheel conversion. They look like Alloy 22.5" trailer wheels from Europe, suited to Super Single tyres. Some will think they look bad, others will think they look ok... I like them.. Just another option for those going from 6 stud to the larger wheels.

Merex has the 6/10-lug wheel adaptors for the MRAP(Hutchinson) rims and so does Vrakking. I've used both kinds and prefer Merex but in either case you need different lug nuts(Super) and most likely longer studs too.
