    What front lift springs are you running?

    Im looking for some lift, and Im thinking about running a shackle flip in the rear, and 4-6" springs in the front. I know you walk a fine line with the front driveshaft running 6" springs, so Im leaning towards a 4" one. What Im wondering though, is the weight of the 6.2, combined with a 9ft...

    Running Hmmwv wheels question

    I plan on 37's, so I should stick with the 12 or 24 bolts I guess. So If I picked up some wheels, just make sure the O ring is good, then mount and balance like any other tire? Sound good to me.

    Running Hmmwv wheels question

    Hi guys, So Im in the market for some 16.5" wheels, and seeing how they're hard to find around my way Im looking into picking up a set of HMMWV wheels. I have a few quick questions on them... 1: From what I read, I would need to run spacers. Is this on all 4 wheels, or just the front? What...

    2012 vin info thread

    I saw that, and I think I'll get in contact with them soon. Do I sound like a nut job? haha j/k btw, I researched the contract number, and one of the links said the # had something go to Kuwait. Did all the vehicles made with the same contract number have the same destination, or was it just at...

    Just picked up a 84 M1008

    There doesnt seem to be an issue with the system, its just odd is all. I've been wrencing on it today. Theres a busted front shock, and it has devloped a hole in the driver side manifold. Have any of you guys fixed the stock manifolds, or would I just be better off replacing it? I found one...

    Just picked up a 84 M1008

    There is currently no radio or light bar on the truck yet, but I do plan on both. Right now, there seems to be no lack of power to run the lights, and they dont get dim after running for a long time. I dont really know how they had this wired, but it seem to last the previous owner for alot of...

    Just picked up a 84 M1008

    Dont mean to triple post, but here it is. When I bought the truck the owner said that its running on 24 volts, but he replaced the original dual alternator setup with one large one. He claimed that its a 180 amp, and its enough for the truck. Has anyone done, or heard of this being done before...
