    Armoured grille -engine temp

    Ok. That’s for the input guys. Worst case I swap it back I guess. The thought that they ran them in the desert had occurred to me, but they also give no f&$@s about money, or ruining a truck, etc and I do. Lol

    Armoured grille -engine temp

    Guys, I think I know the answer but I’ll see if anyone will tell me anything else. I have the regular grille on my hood, but bought an armoured version. will this drive up engine temps? In the summer here it’s hot and humid, and I run to 220, fan on down to 205ish, and repeat depending on...

    Gap with tire carrier.

    Still has the little protrusions for flaps tho? I went with washers, at least I can wash out the gap and keep it dry I suppose .

    Gap with tire carrier.

    So if I mount the spare tire carrier over the mudflap hanger as it shows in all the images, I assume I use washers on the other side, there’s a small gap between bumper and tire carrier base? Thanks guys.

    Ballistic windshield in regular hard top frame

    Looking at putting the thicker glass windshields in my truck. There was a set for sale of the 5/8 or 3/4” glass with the thicker retainers. Before I bought, he offered to test fit them in a 998. They do not fit into the lower built in retainer for the bottom of the glass. And up top there’s a...

    M1165 lower windshield retainer

    What if you want to go the other way? mount the ballistic 3/4” glass in a regular window frame? What needs to be changed for the bottom? The top and centre are obvious. Thanks!

    Cargo shell nets….

    Hard to find good images to see how they work. Could buy a set of nets, but if I don’t have the stuff to mount kinda a waste.

    Cargo shell nets….

    Could someone show me all the mounting points for the triangular cargo shell nets. I see on the sponson there are two spots for loops, but these are the only two I can figure out. Thanks in advance.

    How it started, how it’s going.

    I have the baseplate for interior. I likely won’t get middle racks, as it takes what usefulness the truck has away. Lol I am tracking down a deactivated M2 for the top tho. Hah

    How it started, how it’s going.

I found my preferred colour, in a military rebuilt truck, an hour from my house, Already licensed in Canada. It...

    Brake noise

    I chamfered the edges, but not a lot. Not sure if that could be it too. Any help getting a visual or link on these backers would be great, I am currently searching.

    Brake noise

    Also looking at the yokes mounted to the diff, they don’t seem grooved or anything to cause this amount of slop. And I foresee trouble getting the bolts out of the aluminum housing. Lol Everything is OEM from HPG

    Alternator bracket bolts

    I’m positive I have the old style. Truck was redone. But I don’t think that was updated. Can the newer style bracket be installed?

    Alternator bracket bolts

    I understand what you mean. I guess the heads are based on GM so metric would be right, especially as it’s a 2006 GEP Does anyone know the exact bolt size and length? I’ll see if I have space but at a bare minimum I’d go to 12.9.

    Alternator bracket bolts

    We are talking the bolts going into the cylinder head right? I assume you need an Imp bolt for the head. Mine is fine at the moment but worth upfitting if possible,

    Alternator bracket bolts

    Just a thought, is there a modern bolt that could replace the bolts that commonly break? Like a stronger grade 12 or something? Or is it that they loosen without someone’s knowledge prior to breaking? Just looking to see if there’s a preventative measure.

    Does anybody know what this red thing is on the parking brake?

    Those park brake handles have no lock other than being “over centre” so if you bump it, it releases, violently. So that pice of tube makes it so it cannot release. You just lift it to release and slide back down after. It doesn’t lock like for security, just avoids accidental release.
