    drive shaft

    On that pic the center support in many cases would want to be higher - then possibly run a c/v after that carrier - By the Way This Is Jess Shannon's friend.

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    Years ago when I wanted to have split brakes on a hot rod so I could do burn outs. I took a master cylynder off of an old John Deere. It had split left and right brakes. I replumbed it for front and rear brakes. I welded a tab on the front of the left pedal. If I hit the right pedal it aplied...

    2 1/2 vs 5 Ton in the Sand??

    I have a bobbed Deuce singled out with 395's. I play in the sand fairly regularly and have no problems other than going up the dunes. Going straight up a large sand dune isn't going to happen. You have to plan ahead and angle up. Yes I have burried mine and had to winch out. Not a big deal. Just...

    Insurance problem!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have USAA and they came out and took pictures of my Deuce, understood it was modified and bobbed. Wrote my policy and now I pay 41 bucks every 6 months for my insurance.

    where is the best place to title a humvee

    Title it as a home built vehicle, I am originaly from Fl and it takes about an hour with FHP and DMV. They give you a VIN number and install it for you. I am now in Ca and have done the same thing there too. It's more expencive in Ca and you don't get a title that says its a HMMWV but you do get...

    picks of my 25,000 dollar humvee project

    Have fun putting the Cummins in it. I put a Cummins and Allison in a freinds M998 for him. It was a PITA. But once it was in it looed good. You'll end up taking the body off a couple times before you get it all hooked up. But that 5.9 is like no other eng in the 998. Good luck.

    keep the 6.2 or go 454?

    I've had both motors in crew cab dually GMC's. I have towed the same trailer with both of them too. I prefer the 6.2 everywhere except the mountains. I am not a speed demon especially when I tow. The fuel miliage advantage of the 6.2 has me prepping one of my GMC's with a 454 in it now to swap...

    powered trailer..

    I am building a 31 ft flat bed with tandem Deuce axles, High Angle Driveline is building the shafts with an extreme angle double CV. I built the trailer in sections so that when I get home from this deployment I can weld the large sections together and then install the driveline. Once it is done...

    Finally Got My ARB Air-Lockers...

    I realy like the front axle lever idea. It looks better than the windshield wiper idea I had. I think I'll go that route now. Thanks.
