    Mil painting question

    Tanks... Hey t_lashley, You CAN'T have one because it can't be imported back into the U.S. even though your Grand Poobah Arnold was able to bring in the U.S. M-47 he drove while in the Austrian Army.... Really fair, huh? I'm bet he owns a .50, too.

    You would not be cramped. Plenty of leg room. The rear of the whole vehicle could be bobbed. Just have to fashion a smaller fuel tank. Nothing can be done about the front except some kind of lift but that would be complicated due to the CV axles. Larger diameter tires helps. We did that with...

    I owned a German Iltis for 8 years. Great little Jeep type vehicle. It was neat because it could cruise at 65mph+, was comfortable around town and was different. Everybody wanted to know what it was. Like owning a Pinzgauer. It was pretty easy to work on, and reliable. Approach and decent...

    An Iltis is not that hard to find. My gang has had 5 over the past seven years. Check www.samba.com or Ebay.

    From the beginning, the V-150 series had a "deeper" hull giving occupants more head room. It also is of heavier construction and armor.

    Re-powering a V100.. 5.9 cummins?

    V-100 and V-150 are not the same in any way other than basic shape. V-150 has LARGER/HEAVIER hull, Diesel/Allison, and M800 series axles.

    New V-100

    Having owned all of the above mentioned vehicles except a BRDM, the Fox, Ferret, and Saracen, plus Saladin, are mechanical nightmares compared to the simplicity of the V-100 design. Parts for the Brit vehicles are also very expensive to buy and ship. The pre-select gearboxes are very expensive...

    Without knowing more, don't forget to check your drive shaft. Could be out of balance or a bad universal.
