    Been on here a few years thought I'd finally introduce myself

    i think what your seeing is a lighting issue, the paint is fairly even over the hole truck. I did not use body panels as stop points when spraying. As as for the evil AK in the American truck . My IWI tavor was too short and the AK you see there cost around $2900 and is a 1 moa rifle all day...

    Been on here a few years thought I'd finally introduce myself

    Could not resist trying to get my Russian AK-105 in the mount. And adding a tag for my love of the 100 series AK rifles. Also took the truck into the city 100 miles a day round trip for 4 days. Zero issues besides being yelled at for driving an environmentally unfriendly ugly truck by a hipster...

    Snorkel size for 1009

    If your doing all your own welding it might be a good idea to use nut serts welded into the pipe and through bolt it from inside the fender you could seal them with silicon it would give it a real clean look with out using clips

    Snorkel size for 1009

    I looked at running mine like that but I saw an issue with the hood spring assembly. Did you find a way around that? I'm looking for options to connect it to the intake. It looks like over all these trucks are not the best set up for water crossings but at the heart of a snorkel that's not the...

    Snorkel size for 1009

    Sorry I stand corrected it was 3.5 inch for the standard on the ARB intakes. If you do a search on a site called expedition portal.com you will see guys running them from all over the world we ran some weird set ups on landrovers in Africa. But the Diesel engines are much smaller displacement.

    Snorkel size for 1009

    What are you making it out of? ive had ARB Safari snorkels on several of my jeeps. I would recomend the https://www.donaldson.com/en/engine/filters/air-intake/accessories/pre-cleaners.html Pre-cleaner for the top of the snorkel over the "scoop" style intake. You would be amazed at what the...

    Been on here a few years thought I'd finally introduce myself

    Thanks, I'll look into it. I'm considering just rebuilding the dash with new gages but from what I can tell that gets expensive and I really like the factory look. It will need lights for sure it's completely black at night.

    M1008 Side Winch Mount?

    It's not a good idea your not evenly placing the load on the frame, you end up adding a significant amount or stress to the passenger side frame rail. You have to remember under winching situations your not just pulling the weight of your truck as dead weight your pulling the weight of the truck...

    Been on here a few years thought I'd finally introduce myself

    Ha ya sorry I'm typing on an iPhone , and I've been sick taking pain meds so I'm a bit loopy. Ive done a bunch of writing and co authored a text book so I know the value or an editor. I can tell a great story but lack the subtle art of grammar and spelling. I always wondered if it's just...
