I figure I'm paying it forward for if I ever break down in the middle of nowhere

For tires, you can usually go up to 39" safely with nothing else done to the truck, but you will have issues if the springs are old/sagging. You can't run tire chains on 39" without modifying the truck. the "beadlock rims" are standard 16.5" rims, with a big spacer in the middle of the tire to...

You don't have tire chains yet? I'm back on a set of MT tires, and a pair of chains on the front were getting me all sorts of fun places.

Went and helped rescue a pickup that got itself stuck up on logging roads. Then as we were just getting it turned around, 2 more decided to show up, and one of them got stuck 20 feet further up the road. The 3rd one just needed help getting pulled back onto the road getting turned around. If...

usually it's just the fitting on the hose size; one color of fitting is notorious for leaking, the other color seems good. I can't tell you what the colors are or which is the better one. It's unlikely to be the fitting on the fan hub; it's a single piece with zero moving parts. The only...

I'll second this, it CAN be done in place. Disconnect the line where it goes through the shroud on the driver's side, and the larger nut/washer holding it against the shroud. Then you can reach in and disconnect, and pull it all out. The fitting in the fan hub is harder and will take quite a...

Mine is under a tent, but we got about 8" down here EDIT: correction, 9"

Snowing a little here, so a white Christmas for us. Picture my Uncle's wife posted this morning from across the road (about 1/4 mile away)

It's really hard to justify that kind of money on a jump start pack, when you can buy a pair of Hawker/Odyssey 6TAGMs, and still have enough left over to buy 2 of the GB150s that will have an equal amount of peak cranking amps when used in series (on one each battery) that the GB500 does They...

I didn't actually need them right now, but the price was too good to pass up, and they should work on the A2 hubs as well (and I have 1 trailer and 4 extra axles for it)

played in the snow friday night with some jeeps. Made it pretty much as far as it would go with MT tires, and the Jeeps behind me were stuck on a small log across in the snow. Snow 14-18" deep, with hard crust on top. I was heavier and wider than the others, so kept breaking through the crust...

So it's hard to give good advice, when you are giving mixed information. Not trying to be rude, but there is a big difference between "my glow plugs are good" and "I have not checked them because of inadequate tools, but the truck hasn't done anything in a while so I assume they are good." All...

These are a design that does NOT like to have starting fluid used on it. As in, you can damage the cylinder head/precombustion chamber and cause some serious issues that will cost a decent chunk of money to repair, that is entirely preventable by NOT using starting fluid. Once again, DO NOT...

How do you know that the glow plugs are good? Have you put the multimeter on every one and checked for resistance, or did you just put in new ones and assume they are still good? Plus, if you have to pressurize the tank to get it to run, then something not right there either. Commonly it's a...

Easy way to check for fuel starvation of it's in the tank, lines, or lift pump. Start the truck, run it, and open the little fuel drain valve in the front driver's wheel well. If fuel streams out, you know the system is good up to that point. If no fuel comes out, then the truck sounds funny...

It's hard to find any gearing higher than the 3.54 because of the portal hubs aren't very common. They almost double the gear ratio, so you have to start out a lot higher. And as the HMMWV is a relatively uncommon application in the real world, there just isn't much out there. Trading low end...
