M416/ARB combo

[landcrusher909]

I am really happy with this set up, Just some history I bought the trailer about 17 years ago and used it off and on. it had been sitting for the last 8 years and 2 years ago at the Lone Star Round up and Randy introduced me to a guy selling a ARB tent. After going back and forth on the price I ended up bringing it home where its been sitting for a couple years. Well things came together this week and I an taking it out next week with some of our TLCA Family. I also have a new ARB cover I just have not had time to replace.

Your not running tubes?

Your not running tubes?

What are the "rules" for running tubes with radial tires?

What are the "rules" for running tubes with radial tires?

Not sure there are rules or who would be able to enforce without tearing tire off the wheel. I do remember hearing you need to read tubes designed for radial tires. I run repo bias tires on my M416 for years. Only thing I've done to mine other then changing tires is rewire to flat four pin and change tail lights to Goma Goat style. I tow my in the AZ heat and never even repacked the wheel bearings. Just keep check the hubs after towing. Not sure on a small trailer with no drive wheels or turning wheels if radial tires would generate that much heat to worry about tubes.
