tires... If he is running the 49" singles he can drop to the 1100R20s and get more "power" Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

Road Wheels with holes Just saw a video of an Aussie M113 with holes in the road wheels. It is a 2:20 into the video Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

thanks I enjoyed the read. Thank you for posting such a great project. Justin Wehring

Parts OK the correct parts have been ordered. Things are moving along... Thinking about buying a stud puller/pusher. I have 80 studs to change out when they arrive and the last 40 we changed took half of a day. Gotta be a better way. They are 5/8" studs. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

Live tracks I decided to go with the rubber tracks for three main reasons: 1. Better performance (braking, flotation, acceleration) than steel track due to 1/2 the weight. Much quieter and much less vibration. 2. Even with pads the edge of the steel tracks leave light marks on the road in...

tracks Thanks LB... Tim & Mrs Pam always put on a great rally. This track kit was a retail purchase. I have never seen a kit come across the surplus channels. I have more in the tracks than I do the machine but they are necessary for this project. Justin Wehring 979 997 3112

light bulb... I have been pouring over the drawings and instructions for this kit trying to figure out what is going on with the anomaly... 1. The 2 "road wheel spacers" in the kit were actually idler wheel outer rings. 2. The longer studs and road wheel spacers are most likely still on the...

No teacher like experience The best way to learn is to jump in and make mistakes. Do your homework to make sure you don't waste money but as for the work... jump in and have fun. These vehicles are excellent projects because they are glorified tractors. THey are VERY easy to work on and have...

Cummins A running pullout 12 valve (no computer) can be had for 1500-2500. A 24valve (with computer) for ~3500. Good luck. this will be a good build. I still kick myself for not buying the dodge/HMMWV build that was on here. Someone took a dodge pickup with a cummins and transplanted a...

tracks WGT, Thanks for the good word. I owe NDT a tall cold one after today. He works like a pack mule. THANK YOU. Now for the trip up. The kit came with 2 road wheel spacers (should have 10) so I had some made identical to the 2. I also bought 80 new longer studs to go with the spacers...

Millions... When these millions arrive you come see me... I will help you "invest" it. You will be driving down the road with the only race car track that is licensed for road use and is clad with 8 M240s and a minigun.... oh, and holes in the road wheels. It is 7a and I am waiting like a dog...

Surprised... I am really surprised that you guys are not busting on me for poking holes in the road wheels. The purists used to wait to pounce when i was posting bobber threads... Justin

Norwegian Rubber Tracked M113s Here is a video of the Norwegians rocking their Rubber tracked M113s. The tracks are rated for 8000 miles on the M113 (30K#) so they should last a long time on my 11K# track. Justin

Led Yes, these headlights are 12V. The taillights are 10-36v so they will work on either a 12V or 24V truck. Justin

yes but... This conversion has no permanent mods... but for me this is a one-way ticket. I just woke up from a several hour nap needed because of the tear down in this South Texas heat really kicked my rear today. Taking the tracks off was hard enough. I can't imagine how hard it would be to...

I added truck lite LED headlights and rear teardrop LED tail lights to the M916. The rear light were for looks but the front lights are almost a must for function... Justin Wehring 997 997 3112

OK folks. Some of you know the drama I have gone through to find/buy a set of rubber tracks for my XM474 (M113 variant). Well, they are finally here and I am in the middle of an install. As an added bonus I decided to drill my road wheels to look like FV432 wheels with the decorative...

great pic Won't smile again 'till.... now THAT is a great (funny) pic. You better get to work! Justin Wehring 979 997 3112
