    M105a3 Sleeping Corridor

    That looks good. Are you going to have something below the doors, or will you have to put the tailgate up to close it up?

    A2 transmission thread

    Sounds like mister J Gato's build. His main thread is on Pirate 4x4 Here it's loaded w/ links both there and here.

    Mraps on the front

    On the She Beast we are running 45 front and 35 rear, that's on a 109 that has more weight on the rear. Started at 75 and kept dropping it till the tires rode flat on pavement. Also helped w/ it wanting to change direction every time she hit a bump. Have only dropped it 5lbs to offroad, and that...

    Turbo parts #'s

    Thanks, so does that make it an "early whistler"? I sold it as a whistler based on what we listened to for a year and now I may have to reimburse the buyer. Does it have a dif value? is it something special, or rare? . . . or maybe not wanted at all?

    Turbo parts #'s

    Could use some help here :-/ Seems like the "C" turbo we sold has a dif part # than what is suppose to be on it. I'm told that the "C" has the part #3LJ-319, and ours is #3LD-305. I'm not looking to sell this guy something that's not what I said it was. Does anyone know these part #'s, or where...

    Mraps on the front

    My post was about the 395s being harder than the 9.00x20s to control doing something other than driving down the pavement. We have both and I, at times, drive them both. There is a dif. Saw Mdmorgan's avatar and thought I would ask if they were using power assist, . . . my bad. I'll shut up now!

    Mraps on the front

    I'm really liking how yours is looking! Not sticking out in the front. The She Beast has that wider stance of the Hemmits (which is great for that truck, she never sinks or slips anywhere we've gone) and I'm really debating going w/ 11x20s (just don't like any of the rim choices), or doing what...

    Mraps on the front

    Not to jump tracks . . . but, what are you using as steering on her rig? We've been running 395s on Mod'd Hemmits on the She Beast and I'm really thinking I need to upgrade to some kind of power assist for Elise. Some of the places we've been have def caused . . . lets say . . . a work out. Not...

    I'm loving the "New Posts" link, that's great! I used to just hang out in a couple subforums because the Main Page was just too busy for me. Thanks, for all of this!

    Manifold Heater Problems

    This has just recently been discussed and it's been stated that "spray, and then crank" is BAD! You can suck all (or too much) ether into 1 cylinder. Spraying while cranking helps disperse it to all cylinders. Been doing that same thing 8-0

    Empty 30' trailer heading from Phoenix, AZ to Barstow, CA

    Is that going to be a non-stop run, or do you have time to stop for a night? We have space :)

    M105a3 Sleeping Corridor

    That's cool. I've been thinking of doing the same thing to mine, only I would be lifting the whole upper section w/ 4 jacks on the corners. Should be easy lifting while it's hooked to the truck and nothing needed to let it down ;)

    MKT's

    I'm thinking my collection's not big enough, and Uncle Mickey's had me thinking about these for a while . . . What is the current value of an MKT? Like what would someone expect to pay for one that was just the trailer w/ nothing inside it, and what would one that had all the "good stuff" w/ it...

    Ether Alternatives?

    Thanks Gimpy, I'm guessing that the stock issue ones are either not available ,or cost way too much ;)

    Ether Alternatives?

    Are the ether kits available? I've got it on my truck, but not on the She Beast. She's got the old style flame heater.

    M105a3 Sleeping Corridor

    I think I would want to put some wider/heavier wheel-tire combo on it. My 105 Hardtop is one that lifts to walk around height when parked, and drops to the same height as the cab when getting dragg'd about. I've moved it around many times w/o putting it down and it feels top heavy. I've thought...

    Ether Alternatives?

    Why can't you "spray & crank"? I've had to spray then run around to the otherside of the truck to get in and crank it. That is going to make it much harder :-/ It turns into a two person job. FM - On mine I can pull the mushroom off, it's just held on by the fit, and I spray a small amount...
