Definitely interested seeing how PlanB vehicles work out. Did you consider Predator in SoCal or Florida? I went to their shop last week to find out what they do on prop shafts. As far as a Hmmwv shop, they do it right. They mainly do H1s but there was a 998 two-man troop that they were sticking...
Had the originals in mine just like in the video. What this tells me is that if the sh* goes down and you break down, you're stuck unless you have spares.
I think I got my answer. Folks don't rebuild these, they buy new - at least for now... So much for all of the web articles and folks saying they rebuild now....

I am a very basic welder but not a great one. After a discussion this AM with mine, we're going to roll the edges of the roof and weld sections together. The pillars all line up (curves, lines). I'll post build posts of it and the MRAP Troop seat install when I have time. That has been a bit of...
Juan, not that I would ever do it but I'm still trying to figure out how you got 69 mph without bouncing off the road! IBID for my limited experience. Go for it. We are 7 months into ours and my wife finally drives it to the store once a week. Its hers anyway. Everything is hers for that matter....

Just a note: If I can remember (and sometimes I don't), Turbo400 trannies required a fluid check when in gear. I could be wrong and frequently am.
Got the steel for the bumper this week. $100. I did a parts estimate on a Rhino clone (which I do not like) therefore, I am going with a winch.
All in for $250 + my labor. As for pricing on the Air lift, you make a choice. You go original and pay (after extensive searching) or you make up your...
Just been reading TM 9-2320-280-20-1 and saw the following on page 69:
HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE - Directs hydraulic fluid to provide required pressure to actuate fan clutch as required by engine temperature. Hydraulic pressure supplied by power steering pump.
Which I assume means extended...
