Re: My first set of rocks
Hubs are simple to flip I ran 6 1"1/2 bolts in mine and 6 1"1/4 bolts where your bushings go top and bottom of you knuckle ( make sure you run a tap all the way thru holes knuckles are already drill all the way through but not tapped all the way) then drive your wheel studs out drive back in other way take drive flange off then bust ur jam nuts off 3" socket pull bearing hub should slide right off grind down the back half of your wheel studs for clearance install hub and bearing turn hub as your tighting jam nut till it won't turn (to seat bearings back) back off jam nut till hub turns free reinstall drive flange

Re: My first set of rocks
I think he was talking about flipping them to the narrow position, in wide position , you don't need to modify anything

Re: My first set of rocks
I know what the "pirate" answer is, but I was looking at some cheaper heims. 1.25 I get to ride maybe 6 weekends a year but I plan and stockpile parts year round. So I don't really wear parts out just break them. But I've been in a spring over jeep so I've always taken it easy. I could turn into a complete retard when I get in a buggy.
I've just never been one to abuse my stuff.

Elliot got pics of your rig?
On a side note who owns the csc poison Ivy buggy? I know he lives near me, talked to him once, I just wanted to know if he's on here at all.

So been doing some more reading my plan is to go pinion brake on opposite side of drive shaft. Ag ram mounted to tie rod. Flipped hubs. ? Rims, what backspacing with this setup? And has anyone welded in their own centers? Who makes a good budget rim or center?
You guys have been awesome with tech. Hell I even more ready for my rocks, I didn't know there was a whole subculture in the offroad comunity that was this cool.

Not Rigless
Not sure how budget, but Trail Worthy Fab is a vendor on Pirate that does all sorts of work with rockwell wheels and basically any H1 style wheel setup.
I prefer a MRW steel wheel 10" wide with the backspacing centered in the wheel. They seem to bend less with that setup.
With 43" 14.50-17 tires its 94" wide with the hubs flipped wide.
I built one set of wheels using centers from here: http://www.mudprometalworks.com/wheelcenters1.html
and wheel shells from here: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/15-Inch-Wheel-Shell-15-x-10,28294.html
and beadlock kit from this guy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-BEADLOCK-KIT-15-6-16-5-17-CUSTOM-STYLES-SIZES-/290433344691?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item439f2d24b3
