I was going to say the same thing. The whole setup looks awesome, but the bottom of that tube needs some bracing IMO.

I like that setup, I'm going to steal it!

I'm interested to see how those adapters work out and if more will be made and for sale?

Details on the adapters?

I learned that lesson the hard way too.

If it is something aftermarket just similar cost, but will last much longer and not as prone to failure, I would be in the market for it.

If my engine grenades, I'll get a 466... otherwise, I'll run the MF until it falls apart.

I swear the next time I see this thread title, it'd better be a build thread!

I have been in the process of stripping years of paint off of my truck to repaint it as well. There are about 5 layers of paint: 1) red primer 2) regular olive drab green 3) USMC green 4) lime green 5) there may be another layer of brushed paint here, similar color to outer layer 6) brushed on...

I know that we have the Caiman, but it is built off of the FMTV chassis. It's a really smooth ride, but lacks a little in the performance department. They are designed to withstand a blast or heavy fire and get out of the kill zone, that's it. It's not made to be a rolling fortress.

I thought about putting 1/4" plate on my truck more for looks than functionality, even though it'd probably stop pistol calibers. This has been stuck in my head since getting back from the sandbox and riding in MRAPs. Just something about being in a MV and expecting to be bulletproof now:driver:

I have the diagram from the forums and seeing it done on that truck we scrapped helped visualize it as well.

I have the illustration and thread about bypassing the FDC, but I couldn't find a good description of what's needed. Can anyone put together a parts list, if anything, is needed? If nothing is needed, I'll get to is ASAP. I know mine is leaking internally because on the oil change, it smelled...

MWMULES: Is that the USMC green?

Doesn't look like anything a little elbow grease can't spiffy up!

It definitely smokes like a freight train.

That's a heck of a drive. If you come through Louisville and need a hand, give me a shout on here.

It took us maybe 15 minutes to unload everything from my buddies F250. We went straight off the bedside with it. The slope of the parking lot where the parts truck was at wouldn't have allowed us to do that. A big thanks to JC and Gimpy.

I have a non-turbo engine, but I'm wondering if the fuel adjustment will be as much of an issue?

I think to really perform better offroad, more weight needs to be in the rear and off of the front. Every other points seems very valid though.
