I used the same setup for a season. Those tires work good with dry rock, but any moisture and they get really slick.
I would have traded you at least the BFG's!

i should have posted on here, guess I thought I had hit up most of the local Square guys. I found someone today to trade my DRW hubs for some SRW front hubs. The H1's will be going by the wayside soon too.
Those military tires start to do well offroad at about 8psi.
I ran mine with the double beadlocks at 4psi on all 4 corners. They did pretty well.
Well, I'll find out. With the money side of things the way it is I'm going to have to run these bricks for a while. I'm talking to TrailWorthy about recentering the wheels I have now that I have single wheel hubs. I know there is better. But cheaper is better for me right now. I want to spend money on burning gas this summer, not wheels & tires.
Got my dually hubs traded off for single wheel hubs. The rotors were toast so I ordered a pair. Also have 16 new wheel studs in the 9/16 variety on the way. TrailWorthy is not sure if they can re-center my wheels with the rock rings on. I am hoping they get back to me with a yes on re-centering them. I need some offset now with all of my axle swapping.
Have you thought about just running some 16.5"x6.5" steel wheels with safety beads?

Yes, & I like the idea. I am kind of an old school hubcap guy. I just have not run across a set. I just missed a set of camper special wheels the other day... I am taking my H1's to Witchata this weekend to have TrailWorthy re-center them. They will have 3.5" backspace & I believe they will work good there. Do you have a stash of the BFG's or just some you would have traded?
Had some. Could probably get more.
Skip the "Camper Special" wheels (that name really annoys me, but that is another tangent). They don't have a safety bead.

Got the shift rails in the 205 tonight. It was not quite as easy as the directions would lead you to believe but it went well. Also put together the triple stick. I don't know if it did not come with directions or if I lost them but I had to think just a little to figure it all out. Going to Kansas Monday to have Andy at TrailWorthy re-center my wheels.

Single wheel hubs off a 92 Dodge Cummins traded for my Dually hubs. The rotors I got with the hubs were toast so I have a new pair of rotors also. Also have 16 new wheel studs that are normal size. The right rotors took 2 try's.
203/205 is in. I opted to man handle the 203 in by hand. That went well so I did the 205 the same. I got that heavy chunk up there & bairly got the splines ingauged & my creeper started rolling out from under me. I won't lie, I was worried for about 30 seconds that I was going to take a 205 to the face. I knew the splines would not hold it, I knew I couldn't get moved all the way out from under it & my base was slowly leaving me. I ended up getting a leg wedged somewhere to stop my movement. I finally got it slid all the way onto the adapter & realized that I had forgot the gasket so back down it came. Second time I made sure to keep my body square under & it went up without to much hassle. It's a heavy old chunk though!
I don't know that it is really necessary.
