22″ wheels for dodge 2500

I ended up winning a closed bid auction on an 07 dodge 2500 with the 5.9. I’m a ford guy and didn’t need this pickup but for a goat it looks tough and decided to keep it. First thing I need to pull are these 22" wheels. Tires are bad and I don’t want to pay for 22" mud tires. If anyone is interested let me know.

800 R maybe

Looking at outlander 800 R for my track bike.[G2]
The Kimpex application charts show no R in any of their 800 cc RANGE.
Rep from Kimpex says the adapter kit is the same for the 800’s.
He says it would be 375142
I know the tracks will work.,,,but the adapter…….
After what I went through with my 400 I gotta be sure.
There was no adapter kit available for my 400

Is the 800R, the same chassis/platform as the other 800 outlander ‘s

2017 Rubicon with Power Steering

Hi guys, I ended up looking at the rubicons and hunting around for a 2016 and found a couple and then ended up at a very small dealer, had a 2017 for about the same price, so I ended up with a manual shift with power steering rubicon for 7900 out the door ($7300 before), just wondering if any one else was finding anything better?

What are the symptoms of a stuck decompressor?

I’m helping out a friend of mine and he brought me an 06 outlander max 400. Two other shops had given up on it. One shop had rebuilt the carb and charged him and it fixed nothing. I received the machine a few weeks ago and I did my checks. Spraying staring fluid into the carb right when it started dying did nothing. Spark was showing through the in line tester even after it started dying. I did a compression check and I got 170 psi. However I noticed that oil was squirting out the spark plug hole when I cranked it over. I pulled the top end and brought it to a machinist and he said it was worn out. So it got a new 1mm over wiseco and new oem valvels and seals with a top end cometic gaskets. Put it all back together and it does the same thing.
I tried swapping batteries thinking the old one may cause the issue. No luck.
I have a buddy with an 04 outlander parts bike so I went and picked that up and today I swapped out the cdi and the coil and still no change. I can’t even get it to start anymore holding it wide open. I also doubled checked my mechanical timing and its spot on.
How will an engine act if the decompressor is stuck on?
