Sounds good to me! Being a retired EOD tech that works ordnance exploitation and inerting I love to talk about it!

Thanks, I've sent an email through here and through his website. I'll have to be patient.

I am looking for the M35a2 canvas transmission and transfer-case shift boots to use on my Suburban that is mostly made of M1009 parts. I had emailed Jatonka at a member's advice but I haven't heard anything back. Any help is appreciated!

Hello gentlemen, I usually ask questions over on the CUCV side but I have a transmission that I need help with and it might be in the early Jeep lane. I found a T96-1 3 speed at a junk store that I bought for a garden tractor project. I would like to know what it is from and I have a gut...

Thank you gentlemen!

I have searched and I cannot find an answer so here we go. I picked up an M1008 engine to go in my Suburban and the engine sat for a long time with the air cleaner off, so I tore it down and put in new bearings and gaskets. So here is my question, I have the dots on the timing chain lined up...

I just picked up a 6.2 from an M1009 that showed around 60k on the speedo. The engine has sat for about 6 years with the air cleaner off so I stripped it down to the bare block. Good thing too, one of the air cleaner nuts was resting against an intake valve. The block is perfect, it still has...

Something to consider when going to bigger wheel cylinders is that the master cylinder and wheel cylinder bore size's need to match. If one or the other is larger you will never get the correct pedal feel or stopping power. There is a good article in The Horse Backstreet Choppers on this in...

While looking for a M109a3 I came across the attached picture and it looks like a bobbed a M109a3 is a neat idea. The truck would lose some weight and the additional fuel tank and tool boxes are never a bad thing. Has anyone tried bobbing a shop van and if you did which springs did you go with?

I appreciate all of the help and looking out for a truck. I think the best parts about getting into this hobby are the people and tracking down good deals!

I just called him and he doesn't have any Deuces in stock anymore and it doesn't sound like he will anytime soon. I'll keep reading articles and researching parts until one pops up.

Thanks, there aren't many of us in California!

This might have been hashed out but here is some info on the MRAP wheels. As an EOD Tech I saw the evolution of the Cougar (MRAP CAT I and II) and it was a logistical nightmare. The first Cougars were 4x4 with huge spring packs that rode horrible, so they went to the single leaf front axle...

I would hope that I'm not the only one looking at this truck, and if I lose out on the deal we have validated the free market system!

I'm stationed in Twentynine Palms, Ca and I have been looking for a truck specifically a shop box truck, for a while now and while I have my eye on one back East, shipping is almost a deal breaker. I read the description, see the videos, sign up and place my max bid . After I calm down I...
