I think that if you get one of the Marine M1123s that comes with a clean SF-97, meaning it has no stamp on it indicating that it is for "off road only" then the entire issue is moot, as the info you just linked is talking about vehicles that are strictly off road use eligible and not ones that...

You might want to verify if it's the gross weight of the vehicle, or the gross weight you are allowed to register the vehicle to. (GVW vs GVWR) Once you start having to register for weight purposes, it's all about what tonnage you're paying for, as opposed to how much the factory says it's...

To me the center looks like it's just a placeholder for a manual locker as used by a lot of 4wd vehicles.

Any good quality diesel rated 15W40 oil will work no problems.

the only issue I see with upside down is running the straps across it. Can probably do one across the rear door area, then 2 crossed going from the rear door area out the back, depending if the rear door is on or not.

https://tiresize.com/speedometer-calibration/ Input the tire sizes. Going from a 36x12.5r16.5 to a 37x12.5r16.5 If the speedometer read correctly at 50 mph for the 36" tire, with the 37" tire it will read 51.39mph. At 100 it's 102.78 mph In other words there is less than a 3% difference in...

It's in the 500+ lb range, maybe more. I'd definitely recommend using equipment to lift it if available. If not, then 3-4 people would be the minimum I'd suggest, as it's awkward. Personally I would recommend a trailer, one that is wider than the top would be in order to support it on both...

The more you add, the more there is to go wrong. Not a big deal when you have a supply chain with thousands of people and hundreds of millions of dollars of parts in it. Much bigger deal when you're an army of one. It really depends on what you are planning to do with it. If you NEED to do...

I've seen you say this a few times. Not trying to argue with you about it, but what underlying issues other than just bad grounds would doing a grounding harness mask? I

I found putting a couple thousand pounds in the back helps make the ride softer...

Might be pricey, but it's still a whole lot cheaper than buying a whole 4 speed shifter just for that little part. Reality is, it's a relatively low demand part, and I felt lucky even finding one at that low of a price compared to what a lot of things are these days. I'm sure if someone could...

Mine didn't fit quite right when I installed it in my M1123. It fit even worse after I took it off roading and rubbed it up against a few trees. I'll try to remember to get some pics tomorrow, but the "not lining up" issue I managed to resolve by putting a jack under it and lifting it up until...

No problem, I went through the same thing since buying my M1123.

So to get every single difference, you'll have to go through the TM and check. Basically, the M1123 is an M998A2 with heavier springs. That's about it when comparing basic versions of each. Now, most (if not all) of the M1123s have the deep water fording kit installed (or most of it at...

The 12 bolt and 24 evenly spaced bolt rims are rated for 50psi. The 24 bolt rim with the tandem bolts is rated for 65psi. There is also apparently a 20 bolt rim rated to 65psi as well. The old 8 bolt rims are rated for much lower at only 30 psi...

At one point the military was running short on generators, so they purchased a bunch of civilian generators on the open market, painted them military colors, and sent them out to units. Because they were smaller purchases the military never came up with any type of paperwork, and everything...

Not sure where you were told they are only good for 55mph? If you look on the tire sidewall, the Wrangler MT shows the tire size, and right beneath size it shows the load and speed rating, which reads 123M and 123N with a circle around the 123N The 123 stands for 3417 lbs The "M" and "N" stand...

"WORKING BRAKES" being the important part of this. If you lock them out for the drive home, you will still very likely get there without any type of difficulty. The problem is, if anything DOES happen, even if it is not your fault, and the police see that you have the trailer brakes disabled...

If your ford is old enough then it might also have the 8x6.5 bolt pattern. also, everything that Daybreak said I thoroughly agree with, except needing the IR thermometer. If everything is good it shouldn't get so hot that you can't touch it with your hands. If it's too hot to touch, you have...
