Ok i might leave it right hand drive. that will save me some time anyway. does anyone know where i might get some hmmwv doors? i also would like to find a set of 5 m151 wheels they are 16 inch and would give it the correct look. i think they will hold the 235-85r16's even though they are narrow...
the doors that come on the dj5 are sliders and they run on a track at the top of the door. i took them off, cut off the tracks as well at the front metal pieces and the goal is to get soft doors. the stock doors are very heavy (over 90 pounds each) and rattle as well. not at all the look or...
this is the look or at least some what i am trying to achieve. it will be solid tan and i think i will call it desert mail call. it already has these same lines and with some work i think it will be a one of a kind that isnt odd or silly looking. What do you think?
i go to sonic and reach under the call box to the drive next to me. the first few times i did it they thought i drove off. Now they know its me. i am going to convert it because of the price of the right hand drive steering box. about twice what i can get a regular cj box for. one of my...
and by the way i plan to pull this in the back of a 923 for trips but my wife doesnt know that yet. Feel free to offer up your advice. this is a budget build but i want it to have a military look. i will be converting it over to left hand drive as well. the body is in good shape with the...
Well its not od green or tan (yet) but i picked this up super cheap. I have replaced all the breaks, switched to a 258 intake and exhaust manifold and a motorcraft 2100 carb, fixed the electrical, and lifted the rear and soon to lift the front. I will be switching it over to right hand drive...
i would go with the 108 gph (i think thats right if not its 120) I plan to add another 60gph to the pump i have now if it will supply enough pressure for the both of them. that will do the same job in half the time or twice as good in the same time. when i get some time i will post some pics...
i use a little plastic scraper and little brass scrub brush (like a tooth brush style) these get it all broken up. if its real stubborn i use some break cleaner spray. just happened to have some on hand and it worked well to get that last little bit out. they make some paper liners but i have...
UPDATE
just got a PM and realized that i had not updated this thread. I have got the centrifuge to work the to a point that is exceptable to me. I started by mixing 15 gallons of diesel into 35 gallons of diesel and letting her run. at this point i started getting out a hard graphite like...
It seems to me that the m52a2 and the other multifuels are very well suited for conversion to a 2 tank WVO system. In the case of the M52a2 it already has the 2 tanks and the ability to burn many different fuels. So, having said that if you heated tank #2, upgraded the filters to accomidate...
One of the many things i do is serve as the childrens pastor at church. We are having a kids fest (like a mothers day out) i need 2 parachutes. One for games and one for shade. a cargo parachute would be great for the shade however i cant find one here close. At the local army surplus i...
well this is like when the episode on tv ends with TO BE CONTINUED....................where are the pics? i hate wating for the next episode. oh well i guess i will see what adventure awaits same steel soldier time same steel soldier channel.
will stand by for news
i did the same thing. the only problem i had was the shut off valve leaked when open and suppling air to the quick connect/air hose so i replaced the shut off valve. works fine and is handy when bleeding the breaks cuz you can hook it up to the compressor and it keeps the system charged...
Just wanted to say thank you for all of your "top ten lists" I like the ones that are more like a top 10 plus a few. This has turned out great. I can tell i need to work a few days overtime to get things done. My top ten list comming soon. and THANKS AGAIN
check your IP. Mine was the same way. Put in a LDS-1A pump now you look at it and it will start. Others will know different things that will need to be checked but i had the exact same problem so it stands to reason that you could need to check your ip. mine ran fine after you got it started...
