    Jack for Spare 35’s

    I have a HMMWV H1 scissor jack with an Agile Offroad adapter that works great for a wide variety of vehicles. I've it for several years and love it. Craig

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    Thanks. Glad you like the LJ. Here are a few more pics. It flexed nicely. :cool: Unlike my other Jeeps, I had help with the LJ build by an amazing shop/guy with a strong CNC & wheeling background. He designed the steering, and is 100% to credit for the amazing handling. The shop is no...

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    I found a square body-specific low-COG (prerunner) truck that certainly got me salivating. This beaut rolls on 40" tires. :cool:

    Bought an '87 long bed on Bring a Trailer a few days ago

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    Yes, it was a tug version (CJ-10a). I had two of them at one point. The cab is actually fairly small...standard CJ width/dimensions. The tugs, though, were actually mounted on a shortened FSJ (Full-Size Jeep) frame, but with about 50% thicker frame rails. They're cool little vehicles, and...

    Nice truck...welcome from East Tennessee. I'm not sure where you're at in SW Michigan, but I grew up in Edwardsburg, lived in St. Joe for a couple years, and was in GR since the late '90s (moved to TN a few years ago).

    Rear wheels are sucked in way more than front. K10. Adapters? BAD IDEA? pics inside

    I'm sure that Doppleganger is on to something here. It's not a GM-specific thing. Jeeps had narrower rear axles than the fronts, as well. For example, wide-track CJs ('80s-era) had front axles that were about 2" wider than the rear (56.5" front, 54.5" rear). Craig

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    '86 M1008/K30. Stock height w/sagged front springs. Hummer H2 wheels with 255/80R-17 Nitto Recon Grappler tires.

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    Thanks for the input. I'm hoping to stuff at least a skinny 33" tire under there. We'll see. And yes, I love the H2 wheels, too. I obviously had them on my old Jeep (had to have a friend machine out the centers to clear those hubs), and am happy to have them on my CUCV, as well. I have a...

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    Yes I am. I've talked with Brian on the phone (super nice/approachable guy), but haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in-person yet. I wasn't able to make the first GM Truck Fair he organized last fall, but plan to make it happen this year.

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    Thanks! Yes, those tools are pretty slick, and given my less-than-typical question, I thought it might eventually boil down to me getting one of those. I'm certain it would be money well spent vs. guessing at the right combination of wheels & tires, which could be a very spendy mistake. Thank...

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    A quick background before asking my question... I came from 20 years in the Jeep world, and have always loved low-COG builds with minimal-to-no-lift and big tires. It drives me a little nuts to see vehicles lifted higher than they need to be for a given tire size (I see it daily here in East...
