  1. I've bought 10 new Chinese 11R24.5's right about a month ago. They were $400 apiece, any better-named brand would be twice expensive. They're not Triangle's but Aeolus. Have just two steers of them fitted and got a bit more out of balance and a bit out of round as I waited. There were no chances to get used 24.5's here so I found no other way. By the word there are lots of truckers who use those China products overhere and the most of them say tires work good but wore out earlier than a good-branded stuff. You should take into account many people here use to overweight vehicles and the roads are mostly far from to be perfect. As for me I spent a bunch of green stuff to get the wheel set and wasn't glad having issues with the steers. If I do it now I'd buy two Bridgestones/Continentals to the front and use China's at the rear. Although I've newer had any experience with truck tires and have no ideas how good ones might be better. I tried to drive my R with those new fronts and noted nothing wrong at about 65 though.
  2. The new picture getting device seems excellent to me. I liked red R-models, the wrecker, the grizzly. The road sceneries are really beautiful this time. And the special thanks for the goat pics
  3. I too like your truck Alex, it has many specifications the same with my R. They are just both Canadians though. Glad to know you've done so much about it. I revised most of the stuff you mentioned and came to sorry mind all that is waiting for me also. Vlad
  4. I like them animals although prefere on pics. Was involved into riding horses not long ago and too enjoyed it though. Here is a pauline of the friend of mine. He's a Mack guy also.
  5. Cool! You need them two, right and left sided.
  6. Looks like you've collected a nice row of your customer truck's pics. It was nice to see them, thanks.
  7. I also prefere all Mack components vehicles although I too like that crazy daemon mixture! And I like twin screwers. Arkansas is not close by for me also though.
  8. There is an early series Mack AC in Danemark, Jisk Automobil Museum. Isn't it the your one? Or are you in the States?
  9. I put 2 steer tires on 24'5 Alcoas just a couple weeks ago. They were new but made in China. I use to observe a wheel when spinning on a balansing bench. Those were relatively round, about 2-3 mm out of. One of them needed about 75 and 125 grams of additional weight (sorry, not ready to tell in Oz) The other one asked 150/300g. The tire guy took the tire free from the rim just on the sides, haven't got it out of, and turned over 180. Back on a balanser and it worked out with 50/150. I tried to ride them on my R-model and found nothing wrong up to 70 mph.
  10. Nice trucks! I like to see them working. That F-model dump - isn't it originally a tracktor converted into a dump?
  11. Ken, it sounds like a plan. My only sorry I can't get myself there with a truck.
  12. Dave, thank you for the offer. I'm not in need for Superliner bumper. I was for R-model although I got it from Watts Mack, and they had the actual photo. Vlad.
  13. I'm too glad you're moving. The truck looks nice with no hood also. Fresh paint makes its deal. The hubs will surprize you when painted!
  14. Thank you for pics, I couldn't get there at Macungie time. Hope you had the great day with your second half.
  15. Be careful about mosquitos
  16. Good hunt Tom, alot of interesting things.
  17. The alluminium hill cost like a gold now. Thank you for the pics.
  18. Let me toss a question. Why don't you have on your site bumper's actual photos, just schematic pictures? I saw many sources in the net who offer new bumpers for Mack but with no photo it makes my mind about aftermarket stuff.
  19. Any Ultra Liner stuff is good for you to find. This jacket is nice piece of. Now I'm also in thoughts for my next Kilt dress
  20. It seems to me as an interestng resto project. Good luck on the sell. Vlad.
