Living in a small town sucks, my plate that was supposed to be here today isn't. Now they're telling me late next week. More time to contemplate what to do with the skids.
If you still have the dog dishes that you cut out of the rears, section them to use the center part, and weld up the drain holes, that would take care of the rounded part.

Waiting on the plate gave me time to think and i've made up my mind the 1 1/2" of the original skid is coming off. Prolly not till after the holiday though, im in stl till sunday. Monday the soon to be mrs. Is taking me out for my birthday (its turkey day so thats not an option) tues and wed i have probes. Then theres the holiday weekend....
While in stl i discovered some junk in georges trunk
wonder how those got there?

sweet, I want a set of those
Hey, it doesnt hurt to wish
Ive seen them recentered to 6 on 8 3/4" (duece) and even 8 on 6 1/2" so i dont see why you couldnt use them if you really wanted to. Hell the center hole is around 9" so you wouldnt even have to recenter. Make a plate with your bolt pattern centered inside a 10 by 11 1/4" pattern and you'd be good to go. Just make sure you're ready to push 48" tires or bigger.
quick little post about the wheels and beadlocks:
If anyone is looking for them here are the military numbers for the wheels
front on view
Outside (as i'll be running them, they can be run either way)
Inside
20x10
Wearing the Titan name and made in America
DOT approved
Military only my ass!
Common sense
13,000 x 4 means = 52,000. lets hope CHKNFKR never gets to see that kind of load
whats included
funny little valve stems
Info on the beadlocks
in all its glory
air still has to get in
will she fit?
thats 8 5/8" don't believe the picture
by 1 1/16" should be enough to grab on to the bead
checking the wheel
width is good
Height looks good
All stacked up and awaiting some 53" michelins
have i mentioned i like taking pictures?
In case you're wondering, the wheels are bud centered, the holes have a 45* straight bevel on both sides. that o ring is about 3/8" round. there are 16 3/4" studs keeping the two halves together and the book says they should be tightened down to 450 - 500 lbs/ft.
tires are a long way off, mostly because i don't have room to store them. taking it easy till after thanksgiving and then i have a "job tour" in Charleston on Monday, so Tuesday is likely the next chance I'll have to do anything. whats next on the list? removing whats left of the factory skid (should have done that in the first place) and picking up some plate (i hope its here by now) so I can make a new, more friendly skid.

Jee-Zus man, those are some big honkin' rims.
me too. I'd like it a whole lot more if it were moving as fast as yours....
How's the saying go? Go big or go home!
Maybe this is a stupid question but how do those rubber rings work as beadlocks?

it is a 2 part rim, you put that inside of the tire, then bolt the rim together. It will push the beads up tight from the inside.
