That channel strip is much too flimsy to do this with, you'd have to add a lot of reinforcement to make it not self destruct as soon as the wind started flapping the top. Also, you don't want to use stainless steel rivets into the aluminum of the windshield frame, or body for that matter...

On Facebook there is a 1025A2 GMV truck listed at $14k in Davidson NC, it has the Rod Hall suspension in it, missing a few things but would also be a good place to start a build. The differences between an A1 and A2 truck are definitely worth the price difference. My truck with a 6.5NA and...

I haven't torn into my truck much. Is that area where it mounts aluminum? If it is did you make sure to put some type of barrier between the stainless plate and the aluminum? The two metals definitely don't play nice together and putting them directly against each other is asking to corrode...

$11k is less than a lot of side by side ATVs, and they just don't project the same type of image as the HMMWV does.

if you plan to go on highways with it, or serious off roading, then yes. The 1025 shouldn't have better ground clearance than the 998, but it's probably newer so the springs aren't sagging as badly. The A2 will have the 12k drivetrain, so much stronger. Downside is more expensive if you do...

if you are seeing any sparks, then there is a bad connection, usually just a loose wire. Typically the only time you'll get sparks is when the electricity is trying to jump a gap. The shunt should just be a bunch of metal bars going from one point to another point. The burns in your picture...

Batteries during charging = 28-29V Batteries after shutdown = 26-28V Batteries after resting, 100% charge = 25.2V (minimum) or higher, usually above 26V for several days if properly charged. A fully charged 12V battery will read 12.6V At 12.2V it is considered to be fully discharged, trying...

As was said, different configurations or versions. The models that are just a 3 or 4 digit number without A1 or A2 at the end are usually the early ones (not counting the 11XX series trucks). Then came the A1 version. The standard and A1 versions are almost always 6.2L 3 speed trucks unless...

I was once told the HMMWV width had to do with being support vehicles for tanks and the like, with the wider wheel track it could drive in the ruts left by the tank, with only slight contact due to the suspension/hubs the way they are. As for fitting in Chinooks, I never once saw or heard of...

It sort of depends on how much run time you are expecting to need or would like to plan for. full load you are looking at 1 gallon per hour, half load 1/2 gallon per hour. I've done generators in the past where it's a steel frame for it to sit on up off the ground, with empty space beneath it...

one other thing, with all 4 wheels on the ground and shifter in neutral, try rolling the truck forward and watching the shaft. Then after you remove the shaft roll it forward again and see which of the 2 flanges spins. Whichever one doesn't (either the differential or the transfer case) is the...

Rapco paint 4 gallons to my door was about $190. At home depot the Behr Marquee was about $55 a gallon. I believe the Ultra was in the $45 a gallon range, so it's all priced about the same. 12 pack of rattle cans Rapco was about $100 shipped. Best part of the rapco is being able to buy spray...

Locally sourced then Behr paint is the easiest to get, and the Federal color code matching is pretty good. The Behr Ultra is supposedly a little less sheen to it, the Behr Marquee is a little more durable, but not by much. If ordering from the internet then Rapco is the preferred source. Can...

I assume you mean it doesn't turn when in gear with the engine running, or just generally won't turn when transmission is in gear but engine is off? Obviously somewhere something is broken. If everything looks and operates properly in the front diff it could either be the transfer case has an...

It is unlikely you will get the sound much lower just going for the exhaust pipe. I know in the civilian side of things people have run exhaust pipes into buchets of water and all sorts of other things, but the exhaust is not the only source of noise. The mechanical sounds and the intake are...

From all appearances it's actually easier in Nebraska than it is in Kansas https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2332153286863630&set=gm.2479899385382756&type=3&theater&ifg=1

I don't think it looks bad per se, but to me it just looks very wrong for it to be like that.

When I first hooked up my 3 ton ECU I didn't have any of the heat strips disabled. According to the diagram that put's it around 9.6kw. It took the load, didn't open any breakers or anything, and the gauge read right at 100% load. Frequency however was way below the gauge, probably in the...

I know there is at least one here in Washington State as well. I'd love to own one myself but never actually do anything where it would be utilized to anywhere near it's full capabilities, plus I don't have anything to tow it with anyway.

I'd imagine it would be the same as the reverse light switch for the shifter; there are plenty of threads about doing that upgrade.
