Thanks a million Linda- I will give them a call!! Redbeard

Linda= I will take any dually that will fit, I do not care what year. I need the 6 lug 14 inch/ 3 or 6 hand holds. Yes I only need one for a spare. I will absorb the weight I want two spares. One 5lug for the front and one 6lug for the back. Thanks for the help.

I thought there was someone out west here, California that was selling them new as a last resort....someone was checking but I never saw the results. I will check if I get an address or phone number.

So JDemaris, Do you have a 6 lug dually rim for sale?? Where are you?? Someone else had one a while ago, was it you Totem? Thanks, Redbeard

Does anyone have a source on 6-bolt rims?? I have seen some mention, but never saw a reply. Thanks, Redbeard

Thanks for your feedback Linda and 5Toyota, I will be the tester then along with 5Toyota and we will let you know if there are any problems. Thanks for the feedback!!! Redbeard

Hey All, Can someone go to www.thunderertires.com, and look at the truck tires, and look at the Ranger101 specs for the 185r14C and tell me what you think. Mine are less than 2 years old, I have the receipt from Les Swabb. Thanks in advance.

Powderhound - can you show how you attached this tubing on the inside of the coach? What was the structure on the inside?? Thanks, Redbeard

Has anyone done a thread with showing the fiberglassing? I would love to cover the curved windows in my Sunradar. I have seen this mentioned on the site, but I have not seen anyone do it with the pictures. Has this been done by any of the members??

Hi Linda, No it did not have that tread design. I looked up Thunderer Ranger 101 and found a company from Thailand. The specs have the tires as 8 ply and the load ranges were 800 kg. They are dated correctly so I think I am ok. Unless I hear otherwise from others. Thanks, Redbeard

Hey All, On the Sunradar 21 ft that I bought it had the Thunderer Ranger 101 185r14C from Les Schwab. Back 4 duals DOT- KAARA011212 FRONT DOT- KAA7A0182711 SO if I have read the threads corectly the back tires (duals) were made in the 12th week of 2012. The front tire were made the 27th week of 2011. Both of these dates are with in the 6 years. I have seen some mention of the tires from Les Schwab being junk, so some direction here would be appreciated. If I do not have to buy tires now it would be a good thing, I am already in the doghouse for the cost of this project.

Got the butyl tape and mission accomplished, thanks for the replys. Had to do the big window in back twice, did not like the first attempt. Will be posting pics soon I hope. Redbeard

Hi All, 21 foot Sunradar is being worked on in Arnold, California. May have it roadworthy by August. My wife calls the rig Missy Porn, because I am on this site so much with the computer in my lap.....she is always asking me if I am on Porn sites!!!! "No just cruisin the Toy website learning something new!!!"

Hey All, I am busy on many fronts in my 86 Sunradar. Put in a WFCO 8955 Converter/Charger, but I have not been running the Sunradar this winter and both batteries are suspect so I put both on a charge. The charge seemed to take and I thought I was in business. We were able to to check all the connections in the panel to get it set up, the lights worked off just the battery for the first time since I have owned her (since Sept.). I wrote earlier about the isolator, didn't end up getting it but did get a new circut breaker (right next to the isolator on the inner fender), that seemed to get the power moving thru the isolator and onto the coach battery....success. So the new power generator is in and we are having great thoughts, well we woke up the next day and both batteries we dead again. Now I don't know if the converter has a short and is draing both batteries or if they are both suspect and I should just get new batteries and go from there. I have had the voltmeter on both and when they were charged I got 12.4 but then both have gone under, I charged them again, the truchk battery came back to 12 but the coach battery is toast and won't come back from the dead. I will take some pictures soon of the interior, I am five shades of blue, all the windows have been taken out and re-sealed, new louvered shades (blue), new fabric covered the cornices (valences), new privacy curtains bed over the cab, all the doors taken off in the coach and masked and repainted blue glossy, the project is coming along!!! I just about have it pretty enough, that the wife will get in it!!! I know I rambled sorry, should I just get two new batteries and start from there?? Thanks, Redbeard

I need some guidence on which isolator to buy. I know I NEED THE 4 PRONG one but how many amps etc???Is bigger better here??
