Are you talking MILITARY rims? Those are beaded three piece rims (inner, outer and runflat). Pretty hard to deal with.

Yes, pvc insert for the beadlocks, my brother had a set custom fabbed for his f250, but then he blew his motor and bought a dually, no use for the 16.5'' swampers/surplus military 37's. But dont plan on running the runflats (and yes, they are a bitch to deal with, we mounted the beadlock inserts using my truck, his truck, some tow rope, and alot of dawn for lube.

As for the florida mud, I should post some pics of the other day when an excursion blew a tire and we had to yank him out. I ended up bending my frame where the hitch mounts because he wouldn't come out no matter how much of running start I got


Edit: found the recovery pictures... I promise next pictures I post of are a dodge sitting on 3/4ton axles


Notice the flex, it was a result of the next picture...


That is the blown tire, he sheared his valve stem off


The little dodge that couldnt.


The backup f350 powerchoke
