uh I don't get but 2.5 miles per gallon right now . . . little less wouldn't hurt lol
and they weigh pretty good . . heard estimates from 1500 to 2500 a peice . . . . . had em on the winch on the f350 wrecker (with the boom extended to rear onto the trailor) and about picked the front wheels off the ground just picking up one . . they are at my house ya should stop by and check em out since ya live like 2 blocks away . . .

 

will do. i actually still have your number so i'll give you a call sometime.

 

actually my number changed as of monday . . I'll shoot ya a pm with the new one

 

They look like the 5ton rockwells. If you break those, you should just give up.

 

bigger then any 5 tons I ever seen . . 5 tons don't have planitaries on em and don't need a 25 inch rim . . . best I can figure is they are 20 ton or so . . . only rims I have found that would fit are off a monster truck . . .25x36 . . . but were in oklahoma
also every 5 ton I seen was a top loader . . these are a third member or hogs head stile

 

Nice. Have fun with that one! Just build a monster truck. Thats my 2 cents.

 

I was doing some research... and this may spark your interest and be a solution to your wheel problem. You'll still be able to use your 16" or 16.5" wheels.

Those seem a little large. I would go with a dana 60 and beef that up if needed. Or buy a set of 2.5 ton rockwells. That front and rear end are so heavy you will sink to the bottom of the first mud hole you find. Hell get rid of the frame and make an I beam frame.

 

well everything is going to end up being beefed up and probably will end up monster truck status before it's over with . . . guess it won't be on the road anymore . . and those hubs are for a 2 1/2 ton . . . way to samll . . the planitary gears are in side that big ass hub that's 17 1/2 inches across the wheel going to have to have a hub bore of atleast that much . . it's gonna be carzy . . . just gotta find wheels and then start from there getting the rest of the stuff . . got ahook up on large agricultal tires . . . oh and bryce truck already weight about 10k . . I don't sink to the bottom to much yet . . and with probably 30 inch wide tires proublably sink less . .lol

 

Actually, I've sat navigator plenty of times in his truck, and we've done some shit I didn't think was possible in that thing.
