edm1,

I wonder if you have considered swapping the dual rear wheels to wide single ones like the Unimogs, etc. use? Lowering the air in dualies risks damage to the tires over time from the tires rubbing against each other.

Yes, I've considered it, but right now it's under observation - how the dually performs when aired down. Actually, during this past trip, a rock got lodged between the tires and I probably drove the thing for miles and miles before a gringo near alfonsina's noticed and pointed it to me. I like the stability of the dually but would consider a supersingle if it posed rubbing problems.
