Started supplemental door disassembly for rebuild. RF needs new inner skin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow. Just spent 2 hours trying and failed. Struggling to get 1/4” of clearance for the caliper to crossmember. Loosening the pinion mount and a pry -bar helped but not enough. Looks like I’m pulling the cooling stack to access the mounts and recentering. Not bad, have to pull the stack anyway...

Long story, I'm WIP re-installing the front differential after a rebuild. The differential is in, RF brakes are done. I'm having difficulty with the LF caliper installation. There is not enough room in the forward direction to slip the caliper around the adapter/pads/rotor assembly. I'm...

It’s basically a Saginaw box. Easy rebuild IMO if you have prior experience or are comfortable learning. Kits should be available through the usual distributors. Make sure the kit comes with seals and bearings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used some class time to model the hard door latch spacers. Really simple to do. Sent the specs out to send cut send for an initial batch run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm finally getting around to taking CNC mill classes at the local shop. Next week I have the opportunity to run the mill on a test pattern in aluminum or mild steel. Curious if there are any developed Fusion 360 patterns for some small interesting parts on the HMMWV platform. Nothing...

Crap. WSDOT is ridiculous on this issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Old thread alert. M1151a1. Looked at TM9-2320-387-10 and did not see the Bogert jack referenced anywhere in the load out instructions. I'll likely strap it down in the rear cargo area. I do not as yet have the rear partition in place so will take some care to ensure that this heavy gear does...

I’ve been running the Predator cover for a few years. Nice quality and fit but not super rugged. It does not fit well over fording intakes, fording exhaust or tire carriers… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Front diff on the mill for thread repair. All new bearings going back in as well. Shout out to Carl Jantz on this for great work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Differential is out. Gears look good. Ordered output bearings and seals. Housing LT bracket holes are in poor shape. Upper LT hole needs to be welded & tapped. LT lower hole has some pulled threads. Both will get inserts. Tighten and locktight those differential bolts! Sent from my iPhone...

More fun. Diff output leak cause is a fully pulled stub shaft. Looks like prior service pulled the whole shaft rather than removing the flange and could not figure out how to press the bearing in situ. Pulling the whole diff now to inspect and repair. Hopefully the gears and housing are still in...

LMK where you found bearings…. Sheppard will not sell them to protect their rebuild business Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My prior M998 went through a pitman and idler arm in less than 2 years with casual driving. I upgraded to A2 arms + center link with new TRE. Great steering after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good progress this week. Sold my other project car and got the 1151 into the garage for service this fall. Covered tailgate chains with spare bicycle tube including required drain holes. Spot checked front camber 0.2-0.3 degrees. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
