Those Michelin XL's look like the Pirelli PS22. Some threads I've looked at when considering these: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ram-5500-fire-crew-carrier-overlanding-camper-build.217101/page-3 https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/opinions-on-pirelli-pista.210395/ They...

I like the look of the larger wheels - good call on raising the roof, school busses always seem too short on the ceiling. Also, the silver engine paint looks cool - like a prototype from a machine shop! What are your thoughts for final colors/paint? If you can find 41" 335/80r20s, they might...

Sure, I'll see what I can do to get a photo of the Dana70. I believe the Topkick / Kodiak use a Dana70 up front, but not sure how it would differ from this. I've been watching the various Kodiak builds as it's a very similar size/weight/gvwr to the mt45. RE:16.5" wheels - I didn't even think...

Looks like you turned your Dana60 into a Super 60! I think that I-beam style beef is a good idea for snow / rust maintenance compared to other configurations I've seen. Re: Axle / Weight Ratings - I think I found a 'unicorn' - supposedly surplus Dana 70 front drive axle from a 2019...

That thing is going to be awesome! Thanks for the links. My build will be a similar gvwr ~14,000lbs. (mt45 4x4 conversion) so, I'll have to look into those hmmwv tires. For anyone else looking at tires / wheels for something of similar size - I've been posting at diesel place on wheel / tire...

looking good - do you have a build thread for the whole project?

Any updates on this idea?

Looking good with the big wheels - looking forward to the updates. These videos are what I could find. walk-around starting at 13min. And here

Very cool build - thanks for sharing! Any issues / modifications required to fit those wheels / tires? Did the larger tires limit your turning radius, or they clear the springs / steering arm? How's it going on the habitat build?

I’ve been looking at lockers / limited slip differentials as well - This thread. I have the same mt45, and believe it’s a Dana 80 in the back. Maybe consider a Detroit true trac. Article by Mundo4x4Casa With the stiffness of the frame / suspension in the mt45, this seems like a potentially...

Nice to find a quad-cab 4x4 - any updates?

Great build re: tires - I wonder if someone could make a custom rim or adapter plate to accommodate your desired tire choice? How are those tires working out compared to the stock tires? re: departure angle - How does the rear overhang work out for the roads you've taken so-far? I'm wondering...

Keep up the good work - looking forward to following your progress! This may be a question that's too early - but, once you get into the motorhome part of the build - did you have any great ideas to reduce engine noise in the box? They're a bit loud for touring.
