All my goodies shipped from GA and arrived in WI on Friday .. so I will at last be able to get back to work on my M37 project! Ran my baby into the shop on Saturday and removed the hard-top so that I can get her prepped for the ALCAN 2012 Trip .. plan on using the canvas top for the trip As I...

Final Five to date .. My approach was a little more unique from some others .. but I was most inspired by all the great work and cool ideas John and others have accomplished with their turbo projects
Almost finished with my M818 "Turbo" conversion project .. have one final support bracket to install from the front of the passenger side fender to the bumper (finished fabing it up this afternoon), install my back-ordered 4" flex heater hose and the new 24V blower motor (Gotta love NAPA) as...
Took the beast for her 1st run tonight... she runs sweet and the turbo makes a noticeable difference as I went the gears and I was pulling the lowboy "sans" load... a little disappointed on the top end speed and I'm thinking that I need to tweak the pump a bit ... temps on the EGT did not exceed...

Installing a turbo in my M818 this week in anticipation of singleing her out in the near future (All ready have my new tires - Goodyears and wheels) .. A retired Marine Corp Buddy of mine with 30+ years of service as a Maintenance Chief is totally against the concept for that series vehicle ...
