Nice rig!

I especially like those tires and rims, and they look great with that lift.




I wish I could find two rear outside rims like those, but in 16".

Just round hole polished aluminum wheels?

Yep, I'm trying to match the ones on my F-250, but these will be going on my ambo/camper trailer I'm building.




I replaced the 1993 E-350 OEM axle on my ambo/camper trailer...




...with a Rockwell 10,000 lb. trailer axle.



It has 5/8" studs instead of 9/16" like the Ford axle, but the Ford rims fit fine after we ground off the alignment pins. No one will be changing tires on this thing but me, and I know to line up the valve stems opposite each other.

I know you change out rims all the time, and may know of some dually rims like this that are available somewhere. I also know most people don't want to break up a set, but I only need the rear outside rims. Of course, if the price was right, I could use the others as spares.

I could go to a larger diameter rim possibly, but I just bought the set of five brand new 16" trailer tires that are on there now.

Pair of axles ready to go under some big boys. One is 4.10 with a True Trac and a Spyntec hub conversion going under an ambulance for a local customer. The other is going under a 450 Class C today. Its 4.56, Stage2 with the RSC upgrade.

A buddies dad spent 3 days pulling this out of a barn several months ago. It was last driven in 1990. I of course asked for 1st shot when and if he decided to sell because thats what gear heads do. He tinkered with it and then decided it was too much because of some health issues. So I went and picked it up yesterday. 49 CJ2A, my 1st "Jeep"! It runs, plan is to get it road worthy and cruise it, I have enough $$ pits.

Flat fenders are better for holding tools, beers, and bongs. Wise choice in my book...

Famous last words. Who wants to take bets on how long before it's on 35's?

It's a much smaller pit so it'll hold much less $$
