    M66 ring mount TM

    Thanks Sigo for the link. That will come in handy when we get ready to mount ring onto truck However, I'm also looking for the TM so we can disassemble the ring, clean/grease the parts needed, and reassemble properly.

    Guess what broke while I was changing out my beat up and swollen glow plugs?

    If you have access to a lathe, get a cheapo socket and turn down the end. That's what Andrewh did, handy little bugger.

    Repower Radiator Options

    G Thanks for the links. I looked into having mine re-cored, but for the price quoted, i can get a nice aftermarket one. I have a rad book i borrowed from my parts store, i can get exact dimensions of tha FJ40 rad and see how it fits in place.

    Repower Radiator Options

    Hey guys, I'm currently working on repowering my M37 with a 6.2l out of a HMMWV. Looking to see what others have run as far as new radiators? My stock one is pretty rotted out, and I doubt it would cut it anyways keeping this thing cool. I have measured the old one, and the closest I've been...

    Wooden floor in M37

    Jesse, Sorry to hear about that. I'm in the process of acquiring the parts to convert mine to a 6.2l, since its more budget friendly than a 4bt. Just got tired of buying parts for an engine I really didn't want in it anyways

    MRAP Gun Mount/Ring Question

    Thanks for at least a starting point. We were afraid most of the big stuff was still classified, but hey, one can always hope. We still have some leads on an LWS ring to copy, and now that we know that MRAP's use the same as a HMMWV, I can run that down as well. All else fails, we can build our...

    MRAP Gun Mount/Ring Question

    Hey Guys, I'm helping a friend replicate an MRAP and we have a few q's about the gun ring/mount. 1st: Which mount is the correct mount for an MRAP? An M66, LWS, or other. We've been told it uses the same mount as a HMMWV, Duece and 5Ton 2nd: Is this mount even avaliable for civilian hands...

    Hydroboost... squealing with brakes and steering?

    X2, check fluid level. Sounds like you may have low fluid level, or air trapped in the system somewhere.

    M888 camouflage pattern?

    Found this pic while searching for tan camo M88x series dodges. May not be an M888, but its close enough to give ya an idea

    My first M37, a junkyard find.

  17. MatthewH

    It' not an M880......

    Yeah, but they could have run the Sno-Commander p/s setup, which puts the pump high up on the motor, right in the middle of the block.:-D Oh well, there easy enough to convert over

    Wooden floor in M37

    Sounds like a cool idea. I like the idea of walnut, just like the look better. Thought about doing a wood floor in my M37, but ran out of time, and the metal one was faster. Kudos for the idea, hope it turns out well.

    PE-95-K O'Keefe & Merrit Gen Set. Value? Picture Heavy

    NDT thanks, He is still looking for the service paperwork from the gen shop that worked on it, and trying to get it to run. At $1000 value, it would be worth the gamble, run it till something major goes wrong, then find something else. Do like the idea of propane or nat gas for fuel. If I...
