And this is a major problem if you ever get your CUCV off the pavement and into some mud. The rear swings left/right from one rut to the other. I found a pair of wheels that look VERY similar to stock CUCV wheels, but they had a different offset and now it tracks straight in the mud and still...

The 6.2L gave up the farm and I got a screaming deal on a 6.5L w/ side mounted turbo. The old engine is out. New engine is mounted to the transmission and motor mounts. Flex plate is bolted up. I know there is a thread on all the "little" things like having to modify my rear battery tray...

It will work just fine with stock tires. We put 70lbs of air in them to make them stand taller. Towed 400miles like this...

It was nice meeting yall also. And the truck drove really well and gave us no issues at all. Now for some truck porn... (before we inflated the rubber...)

What would be a good modern oil to run in this genset? Also, what oil filter and air filter would work for this unit? If I recall, the lub order called for a straight 30w oil. Thanks in advance.

Congrats on your new baby...

Nice Rig... What brand of lift did you use? And never being one to pass up a chance to post a pic... Welcome...

Are there other areas with trails that are accessible to the public without any problems?

Yesterday, me and a friend were riding around the Killeen area looking for a old trailer. We actually found one, but that's another story. While riding around, we ended up on the south side of the Fort Hood reservation. The area is not fenced or posted. The area looks to be used like BLM...

Got a civvy console off of craigslist and just mounted all my gear to it. No holes cut in the truck. For a antenna, I used a BNC to FM adapter and hook it up to the long ass green .mil antenna that was on the truck.
