I've been thinking about getting a Sherpa 25k winch as well. Now that the weather is getting better I think I'll order it. I plan to use a "stock" winch mounting plate and beef it up since most are only rated to 12k. Will need to fabricate the end plates to use the factory winch mount holes on...

Seems like most places want $1500 or more for the stock PTO winch. If I could find a stock one for $1000 or less I'd probably do that. I think I'm leaning towards the Sherpa 25000lb electric winch. More capacity is good and I won't be using it for long duty cycles. Probably end up be close to...

Any updates?

The 87 looks like it's in pretty good shape. I would consider buying it if it were 500 miles East of you and not West :). To far for me to consider. I don't think you would have much of a problem driving it back 500 miles- just go slow and take a bunch of tools and fluids with you.

So where is the 87 located....inquiring minds want to know :)

Same here- I have the bumper extension but need the rest. Emmando- I sent you a PM in case you still have parts. Thanks all!

Where have you guys found good turbo rebuild kits for the C turbo? I have 2 sitting on a shelf but would feel better if I rebuild them before testing one out. One feels pretty tight but the other is a bit loose.

I opted for the 3rd level of towing with Haggerty (High-octane) which is $150 per year. This covers all 3 vehicles I have insured with Haggerty as well as vehicles on my "standard" vehicle policy with Liberty mutual (3 daily drivers). This cover 150 miles on a flatbed and Haggerty certainly...

Well my FDC was already bypassed by the depot. I have boost and EGT waiting to go in now. I figured I would pull the turbo to tap the hole for the EGT and might try a C turbo at the same time since it's out (have a D now). For boost I'll probably just use the hole that is already there for the...

I've been considering getting a C turbo to play around with on my duece- not sure I will like the sound or not. I've seen a few for sale locally but have no idea what kind of price they are selling for these days. Obviously condition has a lot to do with it but what an average price for one that...

I insured my M35a2 through Hagerty ($97 a year for full coverage) Since I have 2 other vehicles with them I got the "high-octane" roadside assistance with towing up to 150 miles that covers any vehicles on my policy. Once I got home with the duece I downgraded to the "premium" roadside...
