Just got back from Elk hunting, drove a lil over 300 miles round trip with a 2000 ft vertical climb between destinations. Deuce performed flawlessly right down to the 17 deg coldstart on the way home. I didn't cross any scales, but estimate to have been rolling about 20-21K with the Jeep and...

Ha ha, Pipe Bomb! Sorry I couldn't resist. :)

Im a noob myself, I may have misguided you, the two turbos shown in my previous post are installed in an LDT-465, I am unfamiliar with the LDS installations. -jeep

dikwks is right, I got mine almost a year ago. I had a perma-grin on the 200 mile recovery. This is the most precious thing I own, I love this truck. Huge, amazingly useful for hauling all sorts of whatever you got! (as long as you have patience, they aint fast! :D ) I swapped my D turbo out...

I have a spare D turbo on the shelf because I was not able to talk myself out of it. It is still on the shelf with no danger of leaving. Next to a Merlin engine, it is one of my favorite sounds. (earplugs required :) )

Here is where the moment comes in, Something tells me that crane will be able to lift 8K at a distance far greater than mine.!! Mine is a HIAB 173 speedloader and doesn't have near the reach as yours. My load rating is at roughly 8 feet from centerline at the most inboard attachemnt, and...

"Too big.." I don't understand :mrgreen: I am certain that it is not too small! My assessment would be this: Physically it will fit, and be below max height (right...!) which is 13'6" here in the PNW, not sure if local municipalities have tighter regs due to local road infrastructure...

Weekend 15.5/80R20 Supersingles on recentered hemtts :mrgreen: I dont want to double post tooo badly, so check the build thread in my sig for more info. Im just so excited about it!!! I really need to balance them!...they are kinda :jumpin: :beer:--Jeep

pump gear and adapter housing TNJ Murray also has gears and housing adapters that you can bolt the vickers pump to, I believe it is a standard bolt flange. As far as the pump specification I can not confirm. but you might look here , it is a great thread for a power steering conversion on the...

Thanks Zy, that is a good recomendation. I put 60 in the front the other evening and ran around the block, it took the death wobble out of it (at 35), but I would like to get them balanced to the point where I can air them down so they will maintain even treadwear. Gringeltaube has, in an...

Singled Out ok I got the Super Singles on the truck this weekend. I have not yet balanced them and they have a pretty good shimmy at about 34 or so so I haven't pushed it any faster than that. I have tried different tire pressures as a quick fix, but I don't want to run 60 psi in them as it...

Redleg, welcome to the fray. there are a wealth of good folks here and more information than you can shake a stick at. so I wanna see pics of your M198:drool: ok ok I presume that is not your MV... so Whatcha got? JeepJake

Well done Toxic, you put a lot of sweat into this truck, it really shows, excellent attention to detail! I really like your front and rear bumpers, they really look great. cheers Jeep

A Comprimise Ultimatly i intend to solve this issue with a knuckle-boom crane and lifting points permanantly mounted on my Jeep, for the meantime I have attacked the problem from a middleground. 12 foot long ramps are more than I want to deal with. I have a pair of 6 foot ramps that started...

More wheel work Thanks Jim, she is getting there, I am really interested to see yours when you get her out of the shop! I got the remaining 4 HEMTT wheels cut up. The rotary table cutting fixture really made this easy. I still have to dismount the stock tires from the last 4 donor wheels so...
