For those of you that have them, how often are you retorquing the bolts on your rims? Not the lug nuts, but the 20 or so bolts holding the rim together. I have dbl design rims on my f550 and torque specs are 260 ft lbs. They loosen every so often. Loosen too much and you lose a wheel.

5" wheel spacers designed to have the same track width front to back once dually rear wheels are converted to single rear wheels. These do not change the bolt pattern. They only space out the wheels 5" each side. Local pickup preferred. They weigh about 60lbs each. Buyer would have to pay for...

Looking for suggestions on removing some large 6" wheel spacers ony F550 (used to get sale track width front to back when removing dual rear wheels). They haven't been off for at least 2 years. Steel wheel spacer and steel hub. I've tried a 5lb slide hammer and a small propane torch, but no luck...

Looking for some options that fit 1/2" rope. My snatch blocks didn't work too well with that size rope. Who makes something big enough to fit that with a strong enough WLL for a 17,000 lb winch with 30,000+ lb rope. And are there any other options for winch hooks besides factor 55 xxl...

I am looking for some help finding extended brake lines for the front of my 2012 F550. I bought some off of Amazon from Rough Country. Not quite the right fitting to attach to the hard line. It looked like it might work if I took it apart to try and also if I fabbed a new bracket to hold the...

Looking for a favor from somebody. I have DBL Designs single wheel conversion being shipped to me in the next week or so. There are quite a few suspension components to install and the instructions from them are a bit limited. Youtube videos and pictures from them of installation, or even the...

I've been scratching my head on how to charge my batteries in my F550 shuttle bus. Planned set up is 4-600 amp hours of 6v golf cart batteries. F550 has dual alternators that have the possibility to push a lot of amps, so the only ACR I could find was the ML series from Blue Sea that are good...

Wondering if anybody here might be able to help me out. I have one of the newer models of the propex heatsource furnace. Modell 2211. This is the one that can be mounted on its side or on a ceiling. I bought it last fall and only got to use it for a couple nights. Worked fine. Went on a...

I saw a post a few weeks back where someone converted a m1102 8 lug hub to a 6 lug Toyota assembly with electric and parking brakes. It looked to be the same as my m416a2, but it wasn't. I'm pretty new at this and I'm kind of stuck right now. I think my easiest option is to just swap out the...

Working on all the electric in the trailer. I have a toad charger for the 12v charging via the trucks 7 pin harness, and a noco charger for connecting to 120v. I just finished putting a 100w panel on the roof with a renogy 30amp PWM charge controller. The whole solar setup was something like...

Can anybody tell me how to wire some auxilliary reverse lights that work with the tow vehicle trailer plug that can also be wired to the trailer battery with a switch to be used at camp? Not sure if it is possible, but it seems useful on cutting down how many lights I install. Thanks Srpat

http://www.vintagemilitarytrucks.com/M-116A1_Hydraulic_Tool_Trailer.htm Any opinions on this as a platform to build on? I like all the storage and compartments, but not sure if is too big and heavy. Looks huge, especially once a tent is mounted on top. But it seems like it weighs only 810...

I've been going in circles the last few weeks researching trailer ideas. I need something that allows me to pack a few things and head out for a weekend (or longer) camping trip. I like the idea of an enclosed offroad trailer, but every time I narrow down what I like and what my wife and two...

Hoping somebody can help with a basic wiring diagram. I have generic $9 heated seat cushions that I am trying to hardwire using a heated seat switch. Need to have it so that the switch is only on when the ignition is on. Need help with what wires go to what pins on the relay and switch...

Just wondering what the alternatives are to regearing that any of you have tried or researched. I am running 32" BFG KM2s right now, considering 33s later this year, and feel that I don't need to regear with the 4.0 manual transmission. However, 1st gear in 4low is awfully fast for some of the...

Planning on some electrical upgrades and redoing some of my current setup. Right now I have my cb turned on by a switch. The idea was it would save wear and tear on the unit by only having power when I am using it. I realize it can be installed with no switch, but is there any benefit to...
