OH COME ON! Just throw a minor little 4" lift under it and a set of 37" HMMWV wheels and tires. Guarantee you'll love it! You can actually get up to 62 MPH comfortably too, then!

Oh yeah, long time ago. I've done a lot of "little" things to the truck since I've had it that I've never reported here. Might as well now: Doghead starter relay mod, with push-button backup GP Relay on switch and controller card Replaced batteries with new Komatsu 1,400 CCA batteries from a...

Digital Camo paint job, bed-liner under the whole truck and up the rockers and in the cab, rock sliders, e-locker in front diff, "doubler" t/c, snorkel, off-road air system, and a turret in the bed with a Ma Deuce .50 for "expedient bear removal" when out in the deep woods. Just in case...

There was quite a bit of contact with the outer fender, which I trimmed to correct. I just used a grinder, scribed a straight line and cut with a grinder, then used hammers to roll the edge over and coated with primer, chip guard, then paint. I think there is still a little bit of contact on...

Thanks! Not sure what you're referring to here. Correct what? I will say that the shackle flip pivots the rear axle backwards a bit, that helps to correct the driveshaft angle, but it also meant that we had to repeatedly heat and bend the passenger side shock mount on the axle to keep the...

I didn't do it only because I went to a push-button system instead. I have the new relay in the glove ox but will probably never use it.

There are many good posts on this topic already if you do a search, but you need to find the purple wire coming off the Glow Plug Controller card under the dash by the steering column. It's a black plastic rectangular box with wires in a straight row coming off one side. If you put a switch...

??? Did you drop it out of a cargo plane?

Are those the 36" bias ply's? I forget now. I wish I had known those were you earlier. Did you take the ad down for a while? I remember looking on CL right before I bought mine and didn't see any listings, so I decided not to wait and just buy mine online. I totally would have come check those...

Do it! (then give me one of the spares?...) I've seen these pics on Craigslist. I don't know why he hates them, but who cares, that's really cheap! If you understand what they're designed for, they work great. Just by looking at them you can tell they're going to be suicide on ice, but...

Matt65, did you re-gear your spedo? Just wondering if that is odometer miles or actual miles? I haven't attempted to figure out what I'm getting now but wonder myself. Before the lift and tires I was getting 18-20 mpg, that's combined city and highway, but mostly highway, not drag racing...

I'm done with the fuel thing. Agreed, I've thought about keeping a couple of lengths of copper wire with big alligator clips on one end and a long metal stake at the other in my truck. The problem is that you can't predict an event like this and it would take incredible discipline to ground...

You are absolutely correct. THAT is when you refer to post #85, Step 1.

So, what I suggested would be theft, but syphoning fuel from a gas station's underground tank isn't? That's why I have 300+ gallons of free fuel in my garage. I know you didn't recommend the gas station thing, but that's what I was responding to. As for the gunfire thing, in a scenario that's...

We're getting off track pretty quick here, but in all seriousness, mine is OD inside and under the hood. The roof is OD in the cab. Isn't yours?

:evil: It's green UNDER the white!!! Haven't you ever heard "it's what's inside that counts?". I'm protecting that precious CARC with a light over-coat.

it's green inside dangit!!!

One more thing. If you're really serious about this you might as well get yourself an EMP-proof (printed on paper) edition of the TM's. I had my wife, she's in printing, run me off a copy front and back and bind it with a cover in two big books. Most of the pages have grease smears on them by...

I don't understand why so many people are concerned with getting fuel out of the underground storage tanks at gas stations. For one, every yahoo for miles will be trying that trick and it sounds very labor intensive. I only plan on needing to pump from about 12" down. Think about it, if there...

Step 1: buy a horse. Step 2: stockpile used motor oil and learn how to filter it really well. I have over 300 gallons in my garage (don't tell the EPA or Fire Dept.) and a filter rack with hand pumps.
