Well, time for a 1.5 year update ... LOL! I never stopped working on the M152. Everyday, I try to work on something. Eventually, it will be finished - hopefully by this summer. So much has been done - and all of it done by myself and roommate Larry. Here's the partial list" Engine, trans...

Count me in :-)

Agree with firewhenready. I purchased the humvee hitch off ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183329322816 Installed it a bit differently on my M152. Mounted it from behind to clear the M's "S" shaped rear cross member leading edge. Had to trim some of the hitch's gusset and shorten the...

I purchased a set from Charles

7/8/2020 OK ... throwing in the towel on the Corvette power steering. After much thought, that form of dated power assist is way too fragile for a 7,000 pound plus off-road vehicle. The control valve shaft will bend or snap off and the ram is barely up to the task on a lightweight Corvette...

6/27/20 Update Larry and I have been working almost every day on the M152 making good progress. We are doing the heavy and hard work now … and I mean hard – installing he engine, trans and transfer case. We are on our second design of engine mounts as the first set was just way too hard to...

Need some quick input. Installing a NP205 divorced transfer in the Canadian Bug Out M152 and running into some floor clearance issues. Attached is a fast PDF drawing showing choices. Is it detrimental to the 205 to tilt it off access to keep the drive shafts and u-joints in-line similar to...

Dreaded rust under the headlights. Any rust free fenders out there or patch panels? Tried to contact Charles @ mseriesrebuild who made patch panels in the past, but never got a response.

Are you looking for pictures of what the passenger seat looks like without the battery box under the seat ... or do you want your batteries under the seat? Just removed the dual battery box out from under the passenger seat in my M152. Switching to 12 volt single battery under driver's seat...

Currently, I am using "LibraCAD", a free, bare bones, 2D drafting program. librecad.org I'm a retired architect that was once a young gun on the leading edge of the CAD revolution in 1984, even wrote my own software package that worked flawlessly for 33 years. Then, a few years ago, my aging...

Hi Joshauk, the 4bd to NV4500 adapter was made by 4bdconversions.com. I just went to their site and it is no longer. My kit came with the Isuzu engine and NV4500 I bought together off Craigslist out of Yuma, AZ. At the time, the kit was selling for about $1,000 including the adapter plate...

LOL! That is roommate Larry behind bars. Actually, I am attaching the same expanded metal as used on the rack, deck and original window covers to the front grill to tie the whole look all together.

5/8/2020 Update Because of Covid 19 and stay-at-home, more has been accomplished on the M152 in two months than in the previous 6. In a nut shell, the Isuzu engine, NV4500 trans and NP205 transfer have been degreased, washed, detailed, painted, assembled together and installed. This was much...

Be careful with the flat-faced, eBay 2" receivers. M series have an outward structural bend in the rear crossmember below the pintle that would need to be shaved off for the new receiver. Thinking of doing it, but worried about the crossmember bending inward under heavy braking. Maybe add...

Just installed hydroboost and new, huge, JF9 10,000 pound gvw master cylinder and hydraulic clutch master under the floor using existing pedals. Easy Peasy! Pedals are closer to the floor and align with throttle pedal for more leg room and better feel. Adding an adjustable Wilwood...

Need information on repairing a rusted and leaking cowl vent gutter on my M152. is this gutter a press fit to the cowl and removable or is it welded to the cowl? Even if it were press fit, it is probably rusted in place. Has anyone repaired their gutter in place? Fiberglass? Is a NOS or...

My M152 never had a Southwind cab heater, just the huge box heater that ran on gasoline. The Gobi is small for easier fitment with 3 adjustable outlets, made of metal, can be painted to match and inexpensive. Got it for a good deal on eBay. For health and safety reasons, I do not want to...

Unfortunately, No. I was not that far thinking when I added the garage. Those are just rubber oil drip/fatigue mats. :-(
