    Turret on the cheap

    I appreciate all the comments. Actionpaintball, I have thought about putting some rubber buffers in the system, especially with the 50 cal. I did shoot the 1919 off of it and it was just fine. Anything bigger I will have to think about buffers. Augi, I bought the cradle at Beltfedshooters.com...

    Turret on the cheap

    We then painted it with POR 15 chassi coat, and bolted it up all together. After getting all of the hmmwv parts powder coated and having the roof cut by a car interior guy, we put it all together for the final time. The good thing is that all of this is removable and can be put back to...

    Turret on the cheap

    Next we needed to put in notches so the turret can be stopped. We decided to put in 1'' 1/2 X 1'' tabs of metal to be welded in so that the newer style of the lock could fit the metal tab in between the two posts. After this, we set the ring in the loop and then drilled the holes for the bolts...

    I next bought some clamps from kascar to hold the B-pillars I had whcih were .120 wall steel. We centered the the ring in the hmmwv and then bent the pillars to the right shape and height. Next, we then tacked on the ring to the pillars after checking for it to be level to the hmmwv. We...

    Turret on the cheap

    Hey Everyone, Been awhile since I have been on the forum, but figured I would show off the turret I was able to build using some hmmwv parts along with some steel, and some thinking. I wanted a turret but also a soft top. So I made a hybrid,.. the only hybrid that I will ever like though. I...

    new here, I want a tank

    I wish you good luck if you are importing one, with the current administration in DC itll sit for--ev-ver. I got buddies that cant even import parts kits. The administration just never approves it. It just runs out of time, then you have to re-submit and pay.

    4L80E Swap ?'s

    I see now, My chevy dearlership guy must be on the slow side because he said that that type of sensor (two prong or three prong) was only made for two years and that it ONLY came in the 92-93. I didnt know you were using a newer model hmmwv year computer, that would definitely make more sense...

    4L80E Swap ?'s

    Hey Augi, The rpm sensor we have only has two connections., not three It may be a different tach signal recognized by the computer. We have a TCI stand alone unit that reads it fine after it goes thru a module that we have. The sensor you have may work with the stock wiring and computer out...
