    Check your fuel pump!!!

    **** engineers. I'll probably break the cutting wheel out and cut better groves in them tomorrow I spose. I'll be replacing them with some nice hex bolts.

    Check your fuel pump!!!

    I have an annoying problem. My in-tank pump is secured with a ring of PHILLIPS head screws instead of bolts. I don't know what moron thought that was a good idea but I'm stuck with it. I'm having power problems and I want to check the intake tube and screen. Long story short most of the...

    WMO and smoke

    I'm running 100% WMO and it blows a big cloud of blue smoke on startup and when its cold it blows a good bit of smoke. Once its warm its very light carbon colored smoke at idle and a normal diesel amount of smoke on the throttle. It blew a lot more smoke on #2 diesel, doesn't make sense.

    M35A3 Keyed Ignition Switch Install

    I considered doing this on my A2. I was going to go to Autozone and buy a simple keyed ignition switch with contacts on the back and replace the "big red button" on my dash with it. They could still pull start it, but no matter what you do to prevent theft its still easy to get one of these if...

    California Rain + Mud = Stuck Deuce

    looks pretty baron out there, no trees to use as anchors and without another MV on site to use as a winch anchor you would've just had another 1,000lbs hanging on the bumper in this situation. Jeeps or 1/2ton pickups would've probably just been pulled into the Deuce since it was sunk so deep.

    Installed my Aurora lights today.

    Its upside down on purpose. I have them mounted pretty close to the edge of my bracket and the washer fit better upside down.

    Installed my Aurora lights today.

    When I was installing them I forgot they had 2 settings so I wired them like you would wire any other electrical object with 2 posts. One grounded one hot. I need to reroute power to the post I have grounded now to take advantage of the other power setting (don't know if I have them on high or...

    Installed my Aurora lights today.

    I got them from user " atankersdad " here, brand new in the wrapper for less than I could buy a set of cheap 12v KC lights from Autozone, and they're way brighter. Their original function was to be driving lights for the M1A1 Abrams but I don't have anything that cool. Like all surplus stuff...

    395/super single guys: where to mount full size spare?

    Blocks my view out of the rear window. I've ruled the obvious spots out. I'm seeing if anyone got really creative with a swing out Jeep/Bronco style tailgate swing arm or something.

    395/super single guys: where to mount full size spare?

    I have a 395 spare for my truck that is 10 kinds of in the way in my garage, and isn't doing me any good should I get a flat out on the road if it isn't on the truck. I'd like to mount it somewhere on the truck and I'm looking for ideas. Its way to big to go in the factory spare location and I...

    Installing 4" lift on m1008

    He seemed more concerned with keeping his heavier weight rated factory rear leaf springs instead of the longer ones supplied with his kit rather than cost.
