    V100 mods

    I would have went that way but I have 2" 47 spline axles in this machine and the ARB locker is too small to be opened up for these axles.

    V100 mods

    We're pulling the rear end to take out the locker and install an open differential...in a vehicle like this, the locker doesn't like the asphalt. Shows up pretty bad during hard acceleration or deceleration :-?

    Periscopes for M114

    Good luck, useable driver periscopes are probably the hardest item to find for these machines.

    Police V-100 Tire & Wheel question

    I didn't have any luck on the V100 wheels, but I would recommend modified HEMMT wheels and wheel adapters. Unlike the adapters readily available, I machined mine with a hub and machined the inside out on the HEMMT wheels so the centers will run concentric with the wheels. As Rory has said, the...

    Police V-100 Tire & Wheel question

    I may have a lead on a set of wheels and tires for you, I will advise shortly. I built my own wheels, but the cost hardly falls into the "reasonable" category :-P http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/expedition-vehicles/1000792-zombie-killer.html

    Replacement engine for a brdm2

    I have the 5.9 in mine but you can also turn up the power in the 4BT. Keep in mind that diesel engines make a lot of torque over a pretty broad RPM range and it's very difficult to compare them with a gas burner. I have a 440 fuel injected in a M715 project that I started years ago...if I had it...

    Replacement engine for a brdm2

    I'm not familiar with the engine compartment for your vehicle but in order for me to do mine, modifications to extend the overall length of the existing space was necessary. Depending on the powerplant you want, you may end up having to do the same. It has already been worked out. All non...

    Replacement engine for a brdm2

    I'm a huge cummins fan. The commonrail I put in my v100 with an allison 6 speed is a very impressive combo.

    V100 mods

    Thank you for the kind words but there are a several examples of real quality restorations of the V100 out there, just as there are those that looks nice as long as you don't get any closer than say 20 feet or so. For me, stock was not enough so I spent the time researching the best powerplant...

    V100 mods

    Now we're applying the polyurea coating (High pressure spray on bed liner) to areas where resistance to high traffic would be appreciated. The lower halves of the doors also serve as steps when folded out. The teardrop cut out in the center door is for the gun port and the profile will allow the...

    I built this light bar since it needed to fit within a specific dimension. But there are some variants on ebay that's not expensive.

    The ultimate M114 APC?

    I bet that 427 does sound good! The 6.0L (366ci) is the largest we've put in a M114, and we just about had to stomp it in at that :twisted:

    The ultimate M114 APC?

    I've done a lot more extreme drifting than was on the video. If I had known they were filming when I came on the asphalt, I would have really laid it out :twisted:
