Ok, if I understand it correctly, the rim looks like this ]|[ with ] being the inner half of the rim, | being the run flat insert, and [ being the outer rim half. The run flat insert is inserted in the tire and the rim is assembled with the insert inside. The inner bead of the tire is...

Hmm, are they the same? I don't think it would be possible to fit all the model numbers for all of the different MVs the assorted members own, which is why I suggested something more generic. I do love the look and the idea of the date plate look. Also, that's a whole lot of "Technical"...

RE: Re: RE: Mounting and assembly of Hummer Beadlocks Hmm, I think I will keep the runflats when I get my rims. I wonder if you couldn't use a HiLift jack in winch mode to compress the runflat and then wrap a strap around it to keep it folded and stick it in the tire?

Yes, please post away and, as usual, the more pics the better! What are the details on your V100 also?

I agree that the "What can green do for you" is a little odd. Not to mention it comes within a stone's throw of infringing on UPS' slogan. I think the web address should be incorporated so that people know that this is a site to go to and not just some odd name for a old truck stuck on it...

I like the nameplate, but as for the models, I'd keep it nice an generic so it can apply to everyone and not have to make a dozen different designs to suit different tastes. I like the magnet idea also, but you guys had been makes sure you don't have 20 layers of paint on the bed so it will...

I would imagine if you scratched the paint you would find a layer of 383 green under the desert tan. If you look at the door jams and around the rear hatch you can see that only the exposed areas are painted tan and everything concealed then the doors are shut is still green. I believe I am...

RE: Humvee TITLE QUESTION..... Keep in mind that AM General does not like the idea of civilians driving military HMMWVs. They have tried to make several states refuse registation of them. Here is a copy of a letter sent to the State of Conneticut from AMG concerning HMMWV registration...

What exactly is the huge tracked vehicle?

Everything I have seen on US arctic camouflage patterns in the modern era has just been plain white. Uniforms used to have black looking splotches mainly because they were copied from older German uniforms. Modern uniforms and arctic covers are just plain white. Camo netting and such are also...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: NP 200 T case. I never said it wasn't a strong case, I said it wasn't designed in the modern era, meaning that it wasn't designed for today's highway speeds and it wasn't designed for heavy truck, as in 1 ton and heavier or anything running Rockwell axles. I have...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: NP 200 T case. And also remember that with a divorced case, you can drop the case independent of the transmission and engine. Honestly, with the top input on the Rockwells and the ability to drop the case a few inches, how bad can your angles be that you would need to turn...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: NP 200 T case. True the M715 does use regular U-joint yokes. I don't know about the M37. I personally would not use an NP200. It is not a transfer case from the modern era and was not designed for a heavy truck. I believe it was designed for the M37 and similar light...

Hell, I can't get a radiator for my '88 Ramcharger for $125! Tim, I'd give sarge's idea a run-through and see where that ends up. If nothing else it will give you a price of a new one to compare prices and see if the used and NOS ones are worth the risk. It may be worth it to pick up a new...

Didn't Mikel mod a NP205 on his M715 6x6 project for dual outputs? He had a rear output on the normal (center) of the 205 but also another rear output on the downward side, opposite the front driveshaft location. I know he used some NP200 parts to get what he wanted out of the 205. I don't...

Well he did ask if it would bolt it and just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should. I agree with AJM though, 10 bolt rears aren't very strong and I wouldn't want the weight of the diesel on the relatively weak front axle out of a half ton. I did the opposite, swapping Dana 60s in my...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: aftermarket lift kit for m1028a dually.. I don't know. Certainly there is salt in the air but I don't think the galvanized pipe is ideal for this type of application. While the galvanizing may protect it, the pipe itself tends to be heavy and weaker compared to similar...

RE: Re: RE: aftermarket lift kit for m1028a dually... pics o Hmm, I like the design but I wouldn't have used galvanized pipe. Mild steel tubing would have been a lot lighter and stronger.

Very nice! I want one of the expansible van trucks so bad I can taste it. I put all the blame on Tom from Maryland with the 5 ton 8x8 he had with the expansible van body.

The above is correct. It is a civilian model that may or may not have been used by the military. Not an Mseries of any sort. The fenders, cab, windshield, doors, axles and lights prove it's civilian origins. The body is very similar to that of the M880 series ambulances but also the civilian...
