Lief beats those wheels like a redheaded stepchild. I would not think twice about Dave's work or methods. Now if I can just find 6 of those rims... Edit: And by "not think twice" I they are really that well cut and welded. Now will someone tell me what they originally were on so I can keep a...

Any word on what those wheels were dave? The ones with the 10 outer bolts? FMTV? They look like A3 wheels with a waaaayyyy better dish.

Thanks for the write up! I hope to never need to follow the trail to correct an issue, but it's darn nice to have a roadmap!

:funny: ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I just had seizure... thanks...

Guys, I think more people than ever are figuring out there's a problem. Sorry I got a bit colorful there with the boot crack. It's going to be a long haul taking apart this monstrosity of government fiefdoms our grandparents and parents built over the last 100 years. They had good intentions...

I take that as a compliment of sorts. Although you seem to like government bureaucrats telling people what to do, so I think you'll be at Occupy "X" before I will. They seem to think the .gov can fix anything... "Code Enforcement" is a crock. If someone wants to buy some land and live in some...

Someone is telling a free man what he can and cannot do with his money, on his property, while not harming a soul. Did I miss something? The twit in question deserves whatever misfortune befalls her. She has no respect for others, and none has been earned by her. She has chosen to continue to...

If this is the Courtney Harris Barker that actually lives in Satellite Beach, you might have other options... A restraining order can have a chilling effect on careers.

#3.... Muffler. The Moroso spiral from http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/77251-muffler-multi-fuel.html Awesome thread... I hadn't considered the noise issues. #4 pyro/boost from here:Automobile Multimeter for EGT, Boost, Blue [SYL-1813B] - $57.50 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions...

Any word on what the problem was? Hope it got fixed!

That's what I'm talking about! Make it a 6x6 on a deuce chassis (or 5ton) and keep the armor light. After all, we would be dealing with rocks, trees, walls and at most small arms if you plan on such activities. I look at it this way... If a guy with landmines and 50BMG API wants me stopped, my...

I'm certain this would be a great kit. But the price is a bit too salty for my taste. I'm hunting the old Ford/Int trucks looking for a box to liberate.

I'm actually torn. The sketches I have been playing with still have the issue of the flex joint between bed and cab. The soft top can't even take that much flex... Cutting an opening the way that movie MRAP job did looks nice as a permanent mod... but If I'm careful I think I can make it...

True... but after the price of the rebuild you have 1 engine... If the price of the complete take out is $4000 (I think better deals can be had) And your rebuild is $3000... parts, shipping, time, etc... Going the complete engine route scores you a spare engine for $1000, and gets the job done...

The question I have to ask is: What do you have ability, location, tools and support wise to do either? If you don't have a way to handle a full engine, you choice is made. If you do, canned engines and take outs might be cheaper and faster, with the added benefit of your old engine becoming...

Any pics of the van?

That's too easy. lol Seriously, just to eliminate the complication of the dolly, it would seem to make sense. I figured some of the guys who got good deals on M146s would have done it just to sell them to deuce owners as campers/shops. Unless there is some reason I don't know about why it won't...

I did some searching and couldn't see anyone having done it, or found a reason it wouldn't work... so here goes... Is there any reason we couldn't graft the tongue of an M200 series trailer onto an M146 and shift the axles to better balance tongue wt? The goal being to allow the M146 to be...

A bad ground could reduce current and cause the solenoid to have enough juice to hit, but not enough to turn over... check it first. It's the easy one to check anyway.... just run a new ground from the battery to the block with a jumper cable, or ohm out the one you have and clean it up. But...
