@LouWon - Are you still running it without shocks? How does it handle at speed/corners? Do potholes/uneven roads really upset it? I'm running a softtop/doors (usually off) M1123 (non-MAK) and 95% of my driving is under 45mph. I would LOVE to soften the ride up a LOT for the sake of the...

I run the same setup. Aside from having to turn down the squelch when the doors are off, it works great and we can all communicate comfortably, even at speed.

Sometimes referred to as Dzus fasteners.

I'm no expert, but someone else will likely chime in as well - I'd guess that serial goes back to a M1097R1.

HMMWVs don’t have traditional VINs like the Lotus. It could have had one assigned by the state, but we wouldn’t know anything about that number (only certain states do this). The closest thing we have is a 6 digit serial number- 199,516 for example. No letters. Most DMV systems have a hard...

Mine has a little clip towards the rear of the vehicle, it needs to be lifted out of the way, then a straight pull.

Replicas of the original soft doors or different? Functional windows? I have Arctic doors and would like windows that can open, so I’m definitely interested.

Where did you get those doors? That design is new to me.

Automatic Transmission Fluid? If so, does it dry?

Aye, it's a big boy, that's for sure.

Carrier bearing support?

This is why I disabled mine and run it manually. I'm used to it now, so it's not a factor. Let me tell you, the first time I tried to turn the wheel and the tab bound everything up, my bowels were nearly loosed.

I ran into this on my HMMWV and it was the shackles swinging around on the front bumper. I secured them with zip ties and the noise stopped.

?? TOBASH’s guy?

No judgment as we all have budgets for things, but those P400 heads are THE heads to get for the 6.5. If you have the possibility of Chinesium heads working for $1,100 + the time to install or $2,500 for an upgraded component that you know will work the first time and not necessitate you taking...

No idea if this fits, but figured it was worth a look: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pmx-che855n

Possible stupid question - could the GFD be converted back to a cadillac/clutch setup? Would that conversion be enough to justify saving the vehicle?

IIRC The saying, “Watch out for the first step, it’s a doozy!” Is regarding this exact situation but regarding the Deusenberg Coaches being prone to this issue, back in the day.
