Unless you are buying fasteners from places like ARP, you are probably buying Chinesium. I tend to by fasteners from the local ACE Hardware as they at least seem to have the best selection and are organized so they are easy to find. I use SS when I can unless it suspension or engine and then I...

I thought I would post this in case this might help someone else. The McClarin Composites is made of unobtainium as suspected. I found some others that are available for the Hummer H1 but are all many thousands of $ aua After whipping out the tape measure, I found that I could house a 100...

Having experience with the Florida DMV, and getting a Vermont tag instead, I believe that if you do not have any luck with Missouri, Vermont should issue you a tag. For vehicles of that age, the registration is what is used to sell them - no titles. And I believe Vermont will accept a bill of...

Although I am a relative newbie, I will chime in with my experience. For seats, there are tons of options. You can get inexpensive jeep seats brand new for a a little over $100 each with careful shopping. Generally these are not reclining and do not include a sliding base. You have to build...

11. Looking to sell it? Would you take my $[low ball offer]?

Big concern would be avoid Chineium parts if you can. I have an aftermarket system which is all Cinesium and so I get the privilege of replacing the crap constantly. When you size a condenser, you have to be concerned about the size of the pipes (fittings) too. I really am a novice, but I...

Ok - this gets complicated, and I am a novice so please bare with me. We have two situations - 12V and 24V. For the 24V, I tapped into the ignition switch "Run" position. Please add a fuse, fuse block, or circuit breaker for any of the 24V accessories you which to power. Using this method, I...

Don't you have to jack up the rig to put the tires on the turn plates anyway? Just leave it jacked up and do the bleed procedure and be done with it. Why get cutesy?

I was just thinking, and could not come up with an answer... If one was to install a turbo on a M998 with a 6.2, how does one enrich the AF mix on a stock mechanical injection pump when boost is added? The other thing I was contemplating is installing the turbo below near the exhaust as the...

One thing I will recommend that was suggested by another forum member - after you remove the shifter, drill the four bolt mounting holes out and install some nutserts which makes the shifter a one person removal/install the next time!

Get a real military self cancelling lever which are expensive and hard to find. The Chinesium ones that are prevalent suck and require a lot of force to self cancel and so often break the tabs on the cancel ring. The real military ones are require very little force to self cancel and so do not...

I did do quite a bit of searching and thought I would ask here since I may have over looked the obvious. Is there a Roof Rack specifically designed to fit a Helmet Top? Or should I just whip out the old tape measure and look for a Roof Rack that will dimensional fit the helmet top real...

Engine off. Sorry, I should have included that important info!

The cheapest and easiest (well kinda) thing to try first is to bleed the system. First check the level of fluid. Jack up the front end till the tires are off the ground. Engine off: Then turn the steering wheel from stop to stop (left to right), pausing a couple of seconds at each stop till...

There are many threads on here with what folks have done. The popular ones here are: The Military winches (hydraulic) Warn ($$$) Other 24V "aftermarket" ones I went with a 24V Sherpa. While the Sherpa did come with a rope, it only had a wire remote. I also hooked up a three way momentary...
