I was thinking of keeping it all military colors, so they would almost be ghost flames, and doing them at all leading edges of the body, so it would still have a camo look by breaking up the outline overall.

Here's a one-up for you on the paint scheme. Use those colors, but do a '60s-motive hot-rod flames on the leading edge of everything. 8)

The system I am using here in Florida seems to work well. After the rough scraping, wirebrushing, then blowing off everything with compressed air, I brush on Jasco Prep & Primer. It has the Phosphoric acid used to convert rust from ironoxide to ironphosphate, which is the black/blue paintable...

Probably have grease in the hubs that has gotten old and hard and is making the locking mechanism stick. Just try turning each axle shaft at the knuckle u-joint on each side with the t-case in 2WD. Although both probably need to be taken apart and cleaned, the one hanging up will be the one you...

That might work fine but... You need to rebuild the CV joint, and while you have it apart, grind down the small clearance tabs on the inside surfaces where it was hitting. It is very easy once you have made the mistakes I made and learned from them. You will need a propane torch to heat the...

Must... resist... must not... be... overcome...

Yer honor, the defense rest...

I have not done anything yet, but yes, those are my plans, and I have people who make their living designing things like this fabricate everything. They have already covered the need for increasing braking strength with a simple and effective addition that I will be happy to include when I am...

Wonder why none of the tire shops would mount them on the rims for you like you asked of them? Probably something to do with liability, just like I mentioned before. :wink:

I found them on ebay a few months ago. They were used and nothing fancy, but they were the correct width, which is important enough to keep tire shops from installing too wide of tire on too narrow of rim for liability reasons. Do whatever you want, but if the very first time this setup you...

I was not going to bob my M35A3, but now I am thinking about it. You are a bad, bad man... :?

Like my pappa used to tell me, do it right or don't do it at all. All it will take to ruin this hobby of ours is one good accident that gets someone killed due to faulty modifications. There are a bunch of places to get the correct rims for those tires fairly cheap. I know I have seen them on...

Use the cheap stuff. Sulfer does act as a lubricant. You can use regular gas mixed with 1 qt filtered used motor oil per every 15 gal of gas in the multifuel. Enjoy...

Here is a pic of high steering on an old Bronco front end:

Like I said, they can't build a decent trans to save their life. The C6 is a great model, Nissan built their Jatco by copying the same hydraulics, but they quit building C6s back in the 80s because they were not making enough on repairing them. Go figure! Now you have the 4R100W that might last...

I thought High-steer was where you removed the tie rod from being low and in front of the axle to going in front of the steering arms by using high-steer arms with a single hole on the driver's side and two holes on the passenger side. Here is a link to a typical kit: D60 high steer kit for...

You don't. They are filled from the factory with synthetic grease that last a very long time (Like 20 years roughly).

The M1009s have 10-bolt corporate axles front and rear with 4.10:1 ratios. The rear has the infamous gov-loc in it. The M1008s have a corporate 14-bolt in the rear with the 13.5" drums (vs. 11" light duty), and a detroit locker in it. The front axle is a Dana 60, and if the 3rd and 4th letters...

I've got a detroit locker I am looking to sell, but I am not sure what it goes to. It has 40 splines and they are set for about 2" axle shafts. It also looks like the same sort that goes into rockwell axles or GM corporate differentials. In other words, it has the four cross points on the out...

It's a F.O.R.D. - go figure! They can't make a good transmission to save their life. I wouldn't give them $173.00 for it. (Yes, I am a Chevy man)
