    m536 recovery

    It was nice to meet you amaverick88. I can't post a link with this, but if you go to my profile you will see a M536 thread that has a link to the trailer's TM.

    doghead DONE!

    The doghead entry in the steel soldiers dictionary is growing by the minute. First it was just a pronoun (his name). Then it became a verb (did you doghead your cucv yet?). I'm pretty sure "at the bigger & better rallies" you will over hear stuff like "did you see the way he dogheaded through...

    Transfer Case removal/replacing

    Just the nuts/ bolts. I would try a real hardware store ( not home depot). Yes on lowering from above. A trans jack might work fine, but I really like how the chain fall worked. The transfer will want to rotate when unbolted from the frame. Not a big deal when suspended from above, but...

    Transfer Case removal/replacing

    Also, I would consider picking up all new hardware for the driveshaft between the trans and transfer. Maybe some locktite there as well.

    Transfer Case removal/replacing

    Clinto and I did mine and it was pretty straight forward. I would advise the use of a chain fall from above (will require the removal of the bench seat) suspended from either a cherrypicker in the passenger door or a beam accross the tops of the doors (windows down). Also, remove the spare to...

    Should I install a gear vendors overdrive

    Fwiw changing from the stock 38" to 53" tires will have the same effect as running a .71ish OD in all gears. An underdrive might be more approriate.

    Snatch Blocks

    I bought several snatch blocks from Coleman's military surplus and used the snot out of them. Think I paid less than 40 each not including shipping. Having said all that If you are serious about synthetic line don't even think about using a surplus block, all of mine have had grooves and rough...

    She is a military jeep at heart.

    Very nice. Have you considered swapping the front trim with the stuff from a gladiator? makes it look a lot more like a 715.

    M553 10ton GOER Update

    Awesome! Just need to clean all those "spares" out of the box, add 5-7 tons of ice & you could keep several thousand cans of your favorite beverage at just the right temperature on all the trail rides!

    Winch, or bed swap

    I have done both, move the winch. IMO there are two big things to watch out for... * protecting the radiators of both trucks when pulling/ installing the winch (a thin sheet of plywood in front of the radiator is your friend) * getting the gear lash set right on the PTO (gaskets of varying...

    Nube question: What are those discs in the Grill?

    by the way the number should represent the weight of the vehicle in tons. Above the numbers there should be a reversible plate that reads "C" on one side and is blank oin the other. The C is meant to be displayed when the is towing, and stands for combined
