Howdy all. Couple of questions. Came across a XM211... and was wondering if anyone has ever put civilian rims and tires on one of these? Reason I ask is because I have a full set of (5ea) 38"x15.50xR20 Nitto Mudgrapplers laying around that are still in decent shape, and am curious if I could...

Rockwell, 1. Man I gotta know, how much additional weight do you think that you've added to the overall GVW? 2. Are you planning on counter-acting the additional weight+loss of drivability/reduced performance with any performance enhancing modifications? (E.G.: Larger Turbo, Multiple Turbos...

WE NEED AN UPDATE!! I am seriously interested in this build!! Bump!! Bump!!

Idea.. Find a Peterbilt sleeper cab off a commercial rig, as they are fairly common.. Cut it in half vertically, remove the bed, run stringers from the front half to the back half, and enclose the gap in the middle with aluminum sheetmetal, at a minimum .032" thickness. Every 2 feet fab...

Suprised nobody has used expanding foam and baffling for contouring door cards for arm rests, did that on a old F350 a long time ago. Same principle as the guy that made a Custom exotic car out of a old Mercedes C230 in Germany.. Or was it Poland? I can't remember.. we fiber glassed over the...

Just curious.. Your front seats, what did they come out of? I see a Hand pump for the elevation, so.. Are those, NISSAN SEATS???

Where's the pics Grendel? Inquiring minds want to know!!

A long time ago, in a land far, far, away... I had a crazy friend.. And he for many, many years, used to FLUID BALANCE his spare tires with DIESEL. And when ever he needed to top off his rig, he would simply hook up an air chuck, and pop it in the tank.. It was nuts, and I often wondered why he...

Wait... Tulsa?? Brazen, I read somewhere that you can claim on your taxes the PURCHASE and EXPENSES of owning an RV as a SECOND HOUSEHOLD.. That being said, if it qualifies as a Household/mobile domicile, the upkeep, and equity spent in renovation would almost cover its rebuilding...

I completely understand. And To be brutally honest.. Am totally jealous. I wish I had the shop and $ and the truck to do what you are doing. Just for the heck of it. And besides.. Who is gonna argue with you when you double park? I mean.. Just lock the doors and laugh maniacally, in their face...

If you hear the whistle of what you think is a turbo, it's not.. It's a backhand, if you paint it charcoal.

It's all good. I just want to know what your going to paint this thing when your done. Woodland Camo, or Desert? With thy the wealth of information you and others are generating, we should start a company. Doing mods like this could very well be lucrative. I know of C&c surplus, and "Plan B"...

Rockwell People are starting to lose their minds thinking about this. Man, you GOTTA post up some pictures!!!
