I was having the same problem with my gen. I just ordered a 21Si for 140 bucks. 24V 70 amp.

Travis, Very nice, this is a first class job just like all of your mods. On this mod however, I'm wondering...WHY? Why are you going to all of this time, effort and EXPENSE to convert from mechanical to hydraulic and back to mechanical again? Is it just 'Cooler'? I could see using...

I couldn't find the pictures of the mounting process but these should give you an idea of what I did.

I would use stringers like they did on the original Deuce bed. I used 4 inch stringers and bolted them to the bed. I then bolted the rear of the stringers to the frame and used the Deuce spring loaded mounts to mount the front of the stringers to the frame. You'd be surprised how much that...

...sounds like a Military vehicle

One is a real HMMWV and one is a copy made for the public so the masses can feel like they have a HMMWV ? Just a guess.

You mean a grinding wheel? Doesn't work but it does make a lot of smoke ! I have a Garage but I want an Island.

If you want a bolt on and be done with it set up I would use deuce front springs. Anything else is a can of worms.

Bjorn, WOW that's some truck ! Haven't seen one of those before. Snow condition is a huge thing, snow isn't just snow. Fresh snow, or snow you can make a snow man with is easy to get around in. After it's been exposed to the sun in the day and freezing temperatures at night for weeks on...

Before I bought a tire groover I used a Stihl 029 for years. Actually works pretty well when you get the hang of it.

Man that is one nice truck! I'm green with envy. Nice write up too. How about an update, it's been a while.

Arizona is the worst for getting for getting 'outside the box' stuff titled. Old Harley's without a frame number have the same problem as well as anything that doesn't have 17 digits in the serial number. This is a total PITA but here is how I've gotten around it before. I used a title...

Aren't those closed lug ( hiway ) tires? Don't imagine they would do very well in mud and snow.

Your probably reffering to the pattern in this thread. Those tires I completely cut the center rib out. I would say I cut 1 inch wide and a half inch deep. I don't run that pattern on the hiway, they wouldn't last very long. The pictures with this post are the tires I run in the winter. I don't...

On flat ground in the snow they're wonderful. As soon as you get on any kind of grade in the snow they suck. I've got a 17% grade just getting out of my driveway and when the snow gets packed or slick, the 1600's are like skis. When trying to climb a decent grade with maybe one or two feet of...

How about a 6V53? I've got one with an Allison 6 speed behind it. Never even considered it. Weight 1485 lbs Length 39" Width 40" Height 37" Compression Ratio 21:1 Displacement 318 Cu Inches Bore 3.875 inches Stroke 4.50 inches 275-320 HP @2800

I went 1/2". If you go that deep with the Ideal, it will start bending on you. How about some pictures?

I think that's bass akwards...positive caster, top ball joint back, steers hard and centers better, Negative caster, top ball joint straight up or forward, steers easier and feels squirley

Dave, That's some great information, glad I stumbled across this thread. I'm searching for a donor. Greg

You talked with Garrison? Recently? Do they have a tech support line? Do you have the contact information? Thanks, Greg
