Yeppers. Same that I got. Kinda bummed that I won't be getting to do that project as soon as I had hoped :(

Me thinks me wallet is going to hate you in the not so distant future. Have to deal with some ex-wife drama first

That's the direction I'm heading in. Seems to make the most sense.

Awesome. Been looking at some just like those. Been thinking of another project for them. Thinking a 79 bronco, with a 4bt or 6bt cummins with MRAP axles, wheels, and 16.00-20 goodyears. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Might be time to sell some stuff.

Not gotten as far as I'd have liked during the week due to unforeseen baby mama drama & sudden need of a lawyer, but I think that I am still on schedule for joining the cabs this weekend. Got the floor split, ready to have bracing welded in.

In a nut shell. Because I didn't think of that. Darn good idea, but to late for it now. Cut them off yesterday. Hoping to have the prep work done by the weekend, so I can start joining the cabs over the weekend. Gimpy. I've given some thought about doing just that, but I haven't put much...

I do have a fairly good idea/plan of what I want to do. I've probably read every crew cab thread on here in the last year coming up with a plan. Just had to wait for things to line up. Time, money, and parts. Got lucky on the cab, my favorite surplus guy had it. 2 hour drive and it was mine...

I remember your build thread. I can blame you for this. Yours is the first one I saw a picture of. Was a nice build.

Got the cab sorta set. My beloved foot vents will have to come off. I'll loose the vents before I'll loose an axle. But at least it's on the truck now. I'll get a few hours after work during the week to work on it. I'll start the rest of the sheet metal work tomorrow, and keep at it as the...

Todays activities have included shuffle board, cards, & removing the bed all by my lonesome. Not a fun task. Not at all. But all came out well, & I have done dumber stuff. Two chains, one short chain with two pad locks, & a 3ton chain hoist. There wasn't even much cussing involved. Hopefully I...

Well after reading I don't know how many post's, gathering parts, metal and a cab over the last couple months. Our crew cab project is under way. Stripped the cab down and cleaned out all the crud from the back of the floor, & started to trim the extra cab down to size. I'm thinking I wont cut...

I'm not aware of one. Just the inline air switch modification some people do. Thought about doing that one myself, but I figured I'd forget to flip a switch at the right time & break something. So I searched around the forums & decided to go with the T1138 case swap. Started to hunt down a...

Hopefully if not simple, maybe somewhat straightforward. Got way to much to do in a short time period. The kamo rally is in October. Between now and then I've got to get this done, do the crew cab on the m35a2, get the cattle car converted to a camper, fix my wife's Bronco, 2 car shows, 3...

The feller I bought it from did a few YouTube videos showing how to air shift everything. So at this point I'm "planning" on deuce style air switches. If not, it's back to the drawing board. The air shifting also throws me off as to what exactly this is. Because I was under the impression...

Try fitting a T138 transfer case in the trunk of a Nissan Altima

Lower top speed. That'll make my wife happy. Says I drive to fast anyways. If I can still do 45 I'll be happy. That's all I do a deuce too.

In a nut shell. Just to do something different. I'm not exactly sure this is from a fmtv. Going to run down the p/n tonight. This looks closer to some of the MRAP's we had. But I never got to mess with those much before I got out. Yes I do believe a fmtv is a full time case.

So I have this unfortunate condition where I do not have the ability to leave well enough alone. It is called "Gotta Screw With It Itis". I have decided that I don't care for the sprag system on the M818. It's been not the most reliable since I got to even work a few weeks back (gummed up & and...

The semi-wife approved way to see it the sprag is finally trying to work. 1: attempt to clean up a probably junk set of poppet valves. 2: dump a lot of lubricant / penetrating oil in the lines back to the little cylindrical doodad. 3: drain transfer case & load it with a diesel & kerosene...

Honestly it's a lot better than it looked. Most of it was a just on the surface lightly, or the white flakey stuff that was just sitting there. Both of the pistons (?) the rollers are attached to were seized up in the open position. Judicious use of some penetrating oil & a rawhide hammer fixed...
