You now have a decision to make, to follow advice or to abandon it. You have two (2) replies to this thread, both of which recommend Goodyear tires. I will add my endorsement making it three (3) Goodyear recommendations. But you are now saying you are looking online at tire brands which I...

Yeah I've lost track of how many Chevy trucks I ruint mud bogging since 1969. But then sometime in the late 1980's I bought some of them Smartnin' Up Pills from an ad I saw in the back of Outdoor Life magazine. Those things were amazing! Suddenly I realized what all that mud was doing to my...

I had the wheels built in 1985 to run on a new GMC K30 civilian truck. Ran them for over 250,000 miles with no problem whatsoever. Glad I saved them when I sold that truck in 1995. It would probably be cost-prohibitive to built those 20's in today's market. I had 5 of the split rims built...

Initially, after obtaining my M1028 and installing a 5" lift, I ran my custom Firestone split rims and 11.00/20 NDT's. After I had my back surgery, I took off the 20's and installed a set of HMMWV wheels and tires to get the truck a little closer to the ground to help me getting in and out. I...

Ditto on what Rick said. I suggest you rebuild that front axle all the way through. You don’t have to be a certified mechanic, the step-by-step procedure is in the Technical Manuals ( short for “TMs ). The first time I tore into a GM front axle back in the 1970’s I was scared shirtless. But once...

Sorry for the mix-up on the YouTube link. I fixed it! Enjoy!

For you guys wanting to see an ultimate overlanding CUCV, check out Joe Grant’s machine in Utah. Joe is a great guy, a US service member, and has assembled what I think is one of the best-equipped trucks on the planet. Enjoy.

The crank pulley seems to be the weak design in the CPI kit. It is a strong casting, however when bolted to the crank through the OEM pulley as designed it will not align properly with the compressor pulley. I had to get my machine shop to produce a special 3/4"-thick spacer in order to make...

Here is the link to the thread on the hand throttle. I haven't yet installed mine, but will post photos when I do. Those things are regularly on Ebay. Not sure if there are any on there now. Search HMMWV throttle and see what pops up. Hope this helps...

Just drill thu dam thangs.

I have one of those HMMWV kits and I plan on installing it in my M1028. I’ll post some photos when I get back to my computer tomorrow.

Mike the important thing to remember is to align the pulleys so your belt will run straight, smooth, and cool. I believe most guys don't even think about this and then wonder why their belts squeal and then break after a short time. When I assembled the front of my P400, I aligned every single...

I wish I had your drill press.

I had to look back at my photos from 2011. When the ORD shackle flip is installed the rear axle is rotated. This causes the bottom shock mounting tabs, welded on the axle tube, to also rotate and therefore not allow the shock to attach to the top shock mounting stud on the frame. The way I...

You are going to need to reposition the tabs on the axle tube in order for the PS shock to work.

It is absolutely paramount that the TV cable is adjusted correctly. Here is a link - https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/700r4%20cable%20adjustment%20instructions.pdf

Yeah that’s the turn signal switch. GM part #1997985. Google it.

YAS SAH !!!!

What floor insulation did you use? I plan on adding it to my floor when I install my P400 / 700R4 / NP241. Looks great, by the way. I used the same floor liner and that heat gun will be your friend. I wish I had some of those seat covers.

Whenever I see a photo like this it makes me sad. Sad for the truck owner because he doesn’t realize the damage that been caused as a result of his “fun”. And he also doesn’t realize the time, effort, and cost of repairing the damage. I bought my first 4WD in 1970, a brand new Toyota...
