    17" 8 on 6.5 trailer wheels?

    Anyone have a line on 17", not 17.5", trailer wheels or another wheel of the same dimensions? So, I'd like to be able to run the same tires on my dually and my 14k gn. Currently I've got your standard 235/85-16s on the gn and 235/80-17s on the ram. It'd be real nice to just run one tire between...

    DIY wheel adapter

    Yes I know I can just buy 8-lug hubs to the tune of $500. Fuck that. So here's what I'm working with. Dexter 8-201 And here's what 8x6.5 and 6 on 5.5 look like together. This is with 5/8 through holes on the 6 lug pattern and .617 on the 8 lug pattern. With the studs knocked out the...

    Ram 4500/5500 crawler hauler

    Want to do a crawler hauler that will also comfortably haul our 3 kiddos. A good friend just got a 06 GMC Top Kick and outfitted the flatbed deck to serve as a crawler hauler, and it works great. But the T.K. is pretty brutish...and we're wanting to do the same thing with a 2013-up 4500/5500...

    The Tranny, E-450 Crawler hauler

    What do you get when you cross a van with a truck? A Trans! With that in mind I am building a flat bed and beaver tail on the back of a former Uhaul E-450 cutaway chassis. This truck has 137k miles, V10, 5R110 and a Super 70 rear axle. Should work good!

    Crawler hauler project?

    I need something better for hauling and camping. The wife wants a class a pusher and a 2 car trailer behind that, but we're not rich so that's out for now. I'm fine with a crawler hauler, but am concerned about the weight over the truck. My tow rig is a 2018 chevy 2500. It pulls anything I put...

    Honkylips crawler hauler project

    Picked up this super clean 1998 Hallmark it has 20 foot of enclosed space and 20 foot of trailer deck with a 5 foot dovetail. Day one after getting a Home was taking everything out of the inside I didn’t want and modifying it. There was a long bench countertop thing that just took up all the...
