Not sure if I can move it. Please put it where it best fits.

I sure don't appreciate being called just another guy involved in BS and a scam artist. Especially by a forum moderator. I have been on this forum for years providing various technical advice and trying to help others.

I don't make money on YouTube. It would be nice if that was a thing, but I'm far from it. Maybe some day. I did get hired to armor a hmmwv for a successful youtube channel. They were not trying to obtain an up armored hmmwv and definitely did not have the budget for one. This was simply my...

Here's a pic that shows a lot of the inner structure. Not all, but most before applying the 3/8" skin.

Little before and after: Probably should mention the goal was to keep the humvee functional, not protect occupants.

Hey guys, thought you might get a kick out of this. I got a message out of the blue from some Australians asking if I could get them a humvee and armor it to try and survive shots from their bowling ball canon. I had about 3 weeks to do it and a very limited budget...how could I say no...

Machined the lockers down so I could use them with the humvee 3.08 gears. Took 0.090in off the ring gear side bearing seat to allow it to press on further. Rear installed. Front done as well, but didn't grab a pic. Rear bag over shocks installed. Excited to try these out.

I've got 3 torsen diffs and about to have 2 3.08 gear sets if you want any of it?

Thanks guys. Yeah, didn't do my research well enough (or much at all in this case). Luckily, I'm good at learning the hard way! Thought about the Lincoln Locker, but I'm gonna go ahead and gear it. The LS planned for it will probably like the low gears and I've been wasting lots of time...

The internet is wrong! :eek: Everywhere on the internet it says the carrier break for the AMC 20 is 2.73/3.07. This is NOT correct (at least for a Humvee) and just bit me. The 3.08 gears in the Humvee diffs uses the same carrier as the 2.73 and down. SO, up to a 3.08 gear you'll want a diff...

This thread is in desperate need of some pics. I'll get some soon. Last night I picked up a set of 2.5" Fox Shocks with Airbags on them. Very excited to give these a shot and see how they ride. I've really wanted the ability to adjust ride height and weight capacity. These were apparently a...

Took my Humvee out with the TFL guys last week. Fun time, hopefully you guys enjoy the vid: Feel free to tear me up. Pretty sure the correct torque rating is 290ft-lbs.

Front and rear detroit lockers ordered. In a little change of plans, I'm going to take this rig wheeling in Moab at the end of the month. So, also ordered some Armada springs and spring spacers (temporary suspension upgrade). Going to throw in the lockers, springs, quick hockey puck body...

Should be pretty wild. Look forward to seeing your progress.

So you're planning to ditch the IRS? Are you keeping the front IFS? What's the application for this build?

No exciting updates yet. I've been trying to work through some projects to make room for this one. I've done a little measuring on the body. The narrowing is going to be a very interesting task, but I'm anxious to start cutting. How dangerous is the CARC paint? With all the cutting...

Got a few parts together this week: -Built 4l80e -Billet converter -Winters gated shifter -LS3 (Ive had this guy for a little bit, trying to decide if I want to stroke it out to a 415 - which I already have a crankshaft for, or leave the bottom end basically stock) -40 gallon fuel cell and pump...

I did see their site. Thanks for the recommendation. Neat stuff, but more than I care to spend. At that price I'd prefer to build my own. Especially because it looks like I'd need to modify their design to accommodate the coil over and bypass shock configuration I'm planning. But, it might...

Happy to help!

I'm very excited to get going on this, but really need to sell my IFS car 1st...
