Serious question, do have to use a tire dolly to remove the wheels or are they light enough for you to do it yourself? Where/how do you get tires for it.

Nice rig though...

well,like i said,for now its getting a stock 5.3.i used a painless body harness and had speartech reork my harness and tune.
behind that is a 1ton truck toploader manual transmission,hooked to a military 2 1/2 ton transfer case,feeding the power to a pair of military rockwell 5 ton toploader axles,they have 6:44 gears in them now,i have a set of 9:34 gears to install if i need them.
i did a frame off of the body,all new metal.
made my own crossmembers and hangers,mounts,cage etc..
tires are 67x34x25 goodyears,i also have a set of 23.1x26(about 65" tall)tractor tires with an aprox 4" deep lug for the swamps.
ill post up some more pics and links as i get it running.

the tires and wheels weigh about 1200lbs each

thanks,actually ive gotten real good about moving these tires and axles around without much equipment or help.almost always need at least one helper to take em off and on the trucks.
ive gotten some little tricks along the way for moving them around,i can actually stand them up bymyself if they fall over on their side!
