I am researching mounting dual caliper hydraulic disc brakes on my Rockwell H172 rear axle in preparation for Casa's 2024 remodel and landed on SS because of the M35 axle brakes swaps people have posted here... And I thought I'd offer a "howdy" to you...
Now that I have decided the use A3 rims for my Conti 365/80 R20 Tires On Casa Azul, I now have the dilemma of the rear wheels (offset facing outward) being 4.5" more narrow than the fronts (offset facing inward)...
That seems too much to me, so I am planning on machining 2 offset spacers 1.25"...

Has anyone tried this??? I have done countless searches, talked to "experts" and have only come up with ... Maybe.
Hey Guys,
I've have attempted to search down some rough transfer case dimensions for both deuce and 5 ton's and have had no luck. Would one of you military truck "whizend onces" please share with me where i can find info like drop, offset, and rough dimensions of the range of t-cases.
I am in...

Hey Guys! I am trying to configure a hybrid rear axle for Casa Azul so that the flange face distance would be the same as my civilian Rockwell front drive axle (FDS-75 @ 90" face to face). I receintly purchased 5 M35A3 rims that i will be running Conti MPT-81's on, and desire to have all the...
I friend just called me from the beach (I live right behind the Pismo dunes) and said that a Canuk buddy of his just "blew up" a Gama Goat trailer deffential. Is the anyone that might be able to dig this guy up a replacement?
First off...THANK YOU Gringletaube for explaining the different rim profiles in the thread about putting 14R-20 tires on stock rims. For once, i have read about a mistake I was about to make before actually making it.
The final modification to Casa Azuls "extreme makeover" is going to be...
Could one of you fine folks post up a picture of the rims size nomenclature on a M35A3 Rim???
I drove to Barstow on Friday and bought 5 rims that I thought were correct. when i got home I realised they were 20 x 7.5 :mad:.
I need the picture to show the seller what the correct rim should be...
Could one of you M925 owners post some photos of your Allison trani, divorce shaft, & Rockwell transfer-case.
I'm an RCH away from giving up hope on my MD3070 in Libelula. I intend to make an expedition rig out of the truck, then use it in the Baja "outback". My feeling at this point is that...
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT!
I'd like to post information and get advice & constructive criticism regarding the up comming re-motoring / remodeling of my "expedition" truck Casa Azul. She is not a military truck, though she was set up originally to do remote electronic serviallance for one of "those"...
Libelula my prototype LMTV is an incredible vehicle!
I know she loves me! She got my buddy Sethzilla & I from Connectiut back to the central coast of California. However, i've had nothing but problems with the prototype Allison MD 3070. Over the last few weeks I've chased wires and tested...
I like to get $.02 from you guys...
When i re-motor Casa Azul (F700 Ford 4x4) I'm thinking of removing the "hydraulic over hydraulic" brakes and fitting her with air brakes.
I have been given the air brake system off of a cab forward semi and figure that I can find an F800 in a junk yard for...
My prototype LMTV was made by a partnership of General motors and BMY. It is almost 100% complete except for one bedside connector. Here is a picture of the one on the other side.
Does anyone know if this was a stock BMY part, and if so...Who might have one to sell me.
I had the misfortune of grenading the Rockwell 223 transfer-case in Casa Azul this last weekend on the Pismo Dunes. I just pulled off the beach onto the sand highway and shifted into low range and was suprised when the transfer-case popped out of gear. I tried again and it popped out again. I...
