Lightbulb 3023 used (uses?) the 5000 lb TorFlex

Mine 2619 was built 3023-like, and I'll SWAG that the 6-bolt hub was provided by Dexter as a "matching component" for that specific TorFlex model. I don't know the specific axle being used in modern TM builds. Incidentally, the TM-provided wheel on my "upgraded at build time" 2619 has the following DOT markings:

15x6 JJ 09 05 Max.2600LBS BW/ICA CHINA

"09 05" is almost certainly the date of manufacture (September, 2005). I don't know the meaning of "JJ". The offset of my wheel (measured without absolute precision) is within 1.5mm of ZERO. Measuring this offset was bit tricky, because the side which mounts against the hub has a "lip" of extra thickness, slightly to the inside of the metal. (The edge of the Hub hole is not as thick.) For matching 6-bolt 15" wheels, you almost certainly want to go with "small" or zero offset. Big values (e.g., 8mm) would definitely be wrong on my TM.

BTW, I'm ordering pre-mounted Maxxis tires on "pretty" wheels of that sort, as soon as I have saved this message.
