There are controllers out there to replace air over hydraulic with electric over hydraulic, but the question as always becomes, what are you intending to do with this trailer? It's heavy, short length, high center of gravity, lots of tongue weight, and way overspecced to be towed by anything...

My M1123 had a 2009 rebuild and came with MTs with date codes of mid 2008. They were all out of round and some dry rot from sitting in the desert sun for a decade. Currently the rear tires have 1108 and 1408 date codes from a trailer I bought, and the front tires are 4400, so older, but they...

Yesterday I bought an old set of 4 H1 16.5 inch steel 1 piece rims. I just wanted them for the 2 tires in good shape on them. Turns out they have all the CTIS hardware on them, including the quick disconnect, so if I ever feel like installing CTIS, I'm ahead of the game already. Took 2 of them...

Today was putting all the Red Dot stuff in place to see if it will fit how I want it to. Downside is, I'm moving the inside unit up higher, so the existing hose is now 6 inches too short. Have a new hose on the way to replace it with. The condenser takes up just over half the roof rack front...

Thanks, always good to learn new things, especially from the guys that got to deal with these in less than optimal conditions.

I test fit my camouflage storage rack that came with the BEOD today. Didn't have the spacers it's supposed to come with, didn't realize it at first, so ended up drilling an extra hole through the windshield frame that I didn't need to, but I can cover it up by replacing the windshield retaining...

How far out do the A2 winch extension brackets move the winch plate? I've been seriously considering adding a winch to my A2 truck but wondering about approach angles and stuff like that.

It's usually better to start a new thread for your own issue rather than hijack someone else's thread. When they park in the middle, do you mean vertically up and down, or rather that the end it stops on in angled towards the drivers side making it park in the middle of where the driver vision...

Just check the auction listing, it will say either an off road only or a clean SF-97

I think that if you get one of the Marine M1123s that comes with a clean SF-97, meaning it has no stamp on it indicating that it is for "off road only" then the entire issue is moot, as the info you just linked is talking about vehicles that are strictly off road use eligible and not ones that...

You might want to verify if it's the gross weight of the vehicle, or the gross weight you are allowed to register the vehicle to. (GVW vs GVWR) Once you start having to register for weight purposes, it's all about what tonnage you're paying for, as opposed to how much the factory says it's...

To me the center looks like it's just a placeholder for a manual locker as used by a lot of 4wd vehicles.

Any good quality diesel rated 15W40 oil will work no problems.

the only issue I see with upside down is running the straps across it. Can probably do one across the rear door area, then 2 crossed going from the rear door area out the back, depending if the rear door is on or not.

https://tiresize.com/speedometer-calibration/ Input the tire sizes. Going from a 36x12.5r16.5 to a 37x12.5r16.5 If the speedometer read correctly at 50 mph for the 36" tire, with the 37" tire it will read 51.39mph. At 100 it's 102.78 mph In other words there is less than a 3% difference in...

It's in the 500+ lb range, maybe more. I'd definitely recommend using equipment to lift it if available. If not, then 3-4 people would be the minimum I'd suggest, as it's awkward. Personally I would recommend a trailer, one that is wider than the top would be in order to support it on both...

The more you add, the more there is to go wrong. Not a big deal when you have a supply chain with thousands of people and hundreds of millions of dollars of parts in it. Much bigger deal when you're an army of one. It really depends on what you are planning to do with it. If you NEED to do...

I've seen you say this a few times. Not trying to argue with you about it, but what underlying issues other than just bad grounds would doing a grounding harness mask? I

I found putting a couple thousand pounds in the back helps make the ride softer...

Might be pricey, but it's still a whole lot cheaper than buying a whole 4 speed shifter just for that little part. Reality is, it's a relatively low demand part, and I felt lucky even finding one at that low of a price compared to what a lot of things are these days. I'm sure if someone could...
