Wow! That is VERY COOL! I'd pay big bucks to play in a tank.

The brake system is currently a dual circuit hydraulic system with a hydralic booster system (engine driven like a powerstearing pump). I think that I can get the specific mounting components to mount the air slave onto my front hubs. If not I can make them ( I own a 5 axis cnc machine shop)...

I like to get $.02 from you guys... When i re-motor Casa Azul (F700 Ford 4x4) I'm thinking of removing the "hydraulic over hydraulic" brakes and fitting her with air brakes. I have been given the air brake system off of a cab forward semi and figure that I can find an F800 in a junk yard for...

I just had the T-223 in Casa and needless to say...I was thrilled to find an H series. It sounds like you have heaps more knowlage than I do, Hot Rod. What I do know regarding boosting the ponies in the C motor is from the local Cummins "Guru" and that's about it. I have done a bit of...

I'm not excatly sure Hot Rod Deuce. After breaking the transfer-case in half on my last trip to the beach, I have come to realize that by having an underpowered motor (Detriot 8.2 fuel pincher) that I have been trying to make up for HP by over torquing my drive line...Thus broken u-joints and...

OH MAN :roll: When the producer of the show "RV Crazy" said that we'd be haunted by the show for the rest of our lives, he wasn't kidding. Last Jaunary we were in the DEEEEP outback of Baja and a local rancher pulls up in his truck and says....Hey! I saw you guys on TV! Sadly Casa Azul is...

My prototype LMTV was made by a partnership of General motors and BMY. It is almost 100% complete except for one bedside connector. Here is a picture of the one on the other side. Does anyone know if this was a stock BMY part, and if so...Who might have one to sell me.

After re-reading my post I realized that I posted some of the specs wrong (I have a T223 case and 385/65 tires). I went in and edited the original post. After doing some research, I've concluded that without some HUGE modifications that I pretty much stuck with sticking to the T223 case. The...

I had the misfortune of grenading the Rockwell 223 transfer-case in Casa Azul this last weekend on the Pismo Dunes. I just pulled off the beach onto the sand highway and shifted into low range and was suprised when the transfer-case popped out of gear. I tried again and it popped out again. I...

Spent the last month in the outback of Baja... Left the keys in the ignition for the whole month (with the doors unlocked)! our dogs are not so good at the bark, but excell at the bight! When we enter the puestos militar (military check points on MEX 1) the soldiers treat our bouviers like...

GREAT job Jones!!! I was beginning to the same thing last year using commercial (as opposed to military) 2 1/2 Rockwell running gear. That was until I purchased the prototype LMTV (a US knockoff of a Kamaz), and will be building it into my next "expedition camper". If any one would like my...

My choice would be a Cummins 6CTA.

Maybe I should have put this in hot rodding...or the effect there of!

The truck looks KILLER!!!

For what I can tell so far... The 12 volt is for the lights & guages. the truck was built in 1990 and I read somewhere that by going to 12 volt for the lights on the new FMTV's, the DOD was going to save BIG $$$$ by being able to buy off the shelf bulbs. Sure makes it easier when I mount the...

After close to 5 months sitting neglected in my back yard...libelula has come back to life. The problem was first found when we were pulling into Needles about 2:00 AM on our way back from Connetticut (where I bought the truck). We were just driving along when all the electrical power went...

My new trucks alternator regulator has gone out. The alternator is a C.E. Niehoff 28V / 12V. I have learned that it was a prototype like most of the truck and the company (sure-Power) that made the regulator no longer makes regulators. I then researched buying a modern regulator after...
