rattlehead, what brand and weight is the GL-1 you aqquired? where did you finally get it from?

i had the issues of tryin to find the GL-1. i gave up and dumped some GL-5 in the trans and i havent experienced any problems. i even have had heavy loads in the truck and noticed no difference in the way it shifts

thanks desert rat. i had no idea what it fit, but now im glad i didnt junk it!! just out of curiosity, what is the right price to ask for this item?

nice job on the 10 bolt, almost looks like some kind of IFS suspension with the wheel tucked like that

this brush gaurd was given to me. i was told it fit a deuce. i put it up to my truck and it is too wide and a bit to tall. the problem round here is anyone who is un educated about military vehicles calls anything thats O.D. green with a cargo bed a deuce. i have no clue what it fits, or if it...

hers a pic of a front end i bought for my mud truck. even though its trashed, i only paid $250 for it and theres 3 time that much money in spare parts on it. i dismantled it the other night, the housing was bent so much that the axle wouldnt even pop out with a pry bar. i had to torch cut the...

elwenil, i'll take some measurements and even give you a part number for it from the local discount auto parts store near me. as for the caliper, you could buy the jetta one, but its expensive. i was gonna use one from a toyota 4wd because it uses a similar, if not the same thickness rotor as...

hey spicer, did you know that a rotor form a 4cyl vw jetta has the same diameter center hole as the flange for the e brake drum on an m715? the flange has a round machined surface on it that actually snaps into the jetta rotor. im running the kaiser case in my toyota and thats how im running the...

hey guys, what are those angled loops for that are welded on the front bumper?

those trucks are ugly as sin!! but i definately wouldnt mind havin one parked in the front yard. the tires look like a set of groundhawgs, only meatier.

thats what i did with my combat wheels, it wasnt to hard to do.

if you want to make your rockwels indestructable, call these guys up. www.ouversonengineering.com/axle_products they sell upgrade kits to install 2" shafts in your rockwells. they also make the "super 8 hubs" which allow you to bolt 8 lug pickup wheels to your rockwells

the way i see it for a hardcore mud truck rockwells are the only way to go. the parts are plentiful and if you design the rims right you can stay the same width as a fullsize truck. sure they suck for casual trail riding, but thats why i have my little street legal toyota powered samurai on...

wow, you made that huge 5 ton winch fit in there nicely. that whole project was a very clean swap. im very impressed with your work

ya, its normal. my truck wouldnt go over 160 in the cold pulling a trailer, and it had mudd clogging the radiator. you can forget about the heat working. that was last year. i put a new radiator in my truck this summer, and i put on a winter front on my truck and closed the flap on a 25 degree...
