Yea man i like your thinking...gotta have a place for those spare parts, and wanted to do a single cab for bed room but not any more, need the seat space for my tall butt. I do have another wildcat for parts, rolled the thing and not worth parting for that reason. Was my next project to cut it...
Thanks dude man...ya know a matte matching truck in this color would be pretty cool and have been wanting to do somethin like that but...priorities right? My current pal for this sucker is full work over maintenance, the whipple charger and tranny ~4L80E, seats, 4-point harness, roll cage...
Picked the unit up today...haven't had a chance yet to really check it out, poured all day and then some...but does run very strong, handling and ride nicely smooth.
WhAt Up StEeL sOlDiErS,

ECU...
JK Man! But if its that off id personally take it in...Im so ADD and when tackling something like this I just go waaay to in-depth. But others might know. Just find a pulling point and square it up both sides. Make a jig that runs flush center of wheel "say square tube/angle iron" that runs...
Yea man...All ya have to do is place the desired amount of washers on the stud behind the wheel in whichever direction it toe/cambered...works every time!
Have to pull the dimensions, but that 7.3 is a biggy and heavy. Dont give me wrong, is a strong hard long lasting diesel and can handle power...had a 99' F-250 w/~300k when I sold it and ran like new. Can pull one from a salvaged school bus. Personally I would do a Cummins, say 6.7L or less...
If just camber than id pick a flat spot on the rim maybe even cut 2x4 etc. if needed and slap a level on to it. And just gauge your tread over time for wear, and if so then take it in. I do my own front/rear on my Wildcat...these suckers arnt daily drivers so could be an economical start.
Haven't looked at what it would take but off the top of my head is a yea probably so, especially if an a-arm is removed. But kblazer87 said "not a bad idea to check". Can check yourself with an additional hand. Whatever you remove just mark it so you can align it back up.
If its sagged now...
Didn't read all the above posts but on the fence myself over this. My recent research led into to going with a Whipple Supercharger...instant gratification over the turbo.
Just google "whipple charger 6.5L HMMWV"
Awaiting EUC approval on my HMMWV 6.5L
Please keep an update on your...
Thanks Tracer, ageregunner, BenRoberts!
Have some goodies coming in as suggested in the sticky "LEO/FD HMMWV Check List & Part Numbers"., so I can get a heads up. Probably wait on the little stuff once inspected...anxiously awaiting!
