    Gonna do LS swap - 6.2 is fixin to throw a rod.

    This guy did it. Some good info on his Channell. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLiaqFLIC-AYgvqI90cSfsQ Why in the world would you do a 700r4 and an LS. Go ahead and do a 4l80e while you are there or keep the th400. The rom’s would be ok at 65-70 with an LS. You will need a 2 inch body...

    Hydraulic guru’s, hmmwv guru’s and generally smart people I need your help with a fro

    I have set out to plum in a front and rear 10.5k hydraulic winch setup on a Hmmwv. On its face it doesn’t seem very complicated but it never existed in the wild so there are no TM’s in particular for this setup. The issue becomes how do you use one winch and lock the other out while in use. I...

    Last I heard it we live in still a free country and he doesn’t appear to be violating any laws so live and let live. It’s crazy to think the “oh my god i am offended” people have even penetrated the ranks of SS. We are doomed.

    Strange wait light issue

    I would think plugging a multimeter into one of the unhooked glowplug wires and turning the start switch to on would verify this. The best way to go about it is start the troubleshooting that is detailed in the –24 manual.

    RPM noise through vic-1/h-161 headsets.

    Definitely start with the grounds. If you want you can make up a short term ground to go directly to the ground lug on the block and use that instead of what it’s grounded to and go for a test drive. If you don’t have he noise after going to the block for a ground you know what your problem is...

    No I picked this one up before Rub listed his. I have to say that it really makes getting in and out of the bed much easier.

    My "Go anywhere" M1010 mobile office/camper build.

    That’s litterally the story of my off-roading career. Fix one component and get it like i want it and then I beak the next thing downstream from it.

    I slapped on an airlift bumper that’s been taking up space for the last two years. I was shocked to find all the parts were actually still there and in the box. Waiting on Blackdog to send me the plate for the trailer lights and a receiver hitch. They should be here next week. Next stop, fab...

    adding third battery to HMMWV with dual volt alternator for 12 volt accessories

    Turn your motor of and run the winch hard. Get back to us and tell me how long it lasts. That in itself lets you know that it depends on the alternator resupplying power. Several of the larger (10-12 K) warns pull 480 amps. That will suck a battery dry in a matter of minutes. Also do it a...

    adding third battery to HMMWV with dual volt alternator for 12 volt accessories

    A good winch pulls 300 amps while winching. The cheaper winches can pull up to 500 amps. After about 40 seconds of pulling a deep cycle battery is using everything the alternator can give it because the battery has been depleted. With only a max of 50 amps being put back in by the 12v side of...

    Just another hmmwv build thread.

    Rapco only has one 383 green. That’s the same color I used on the doors.

    It was a spraybomb. I am going to have to use a gun for the rest of the truck. Much cheaper for that muck real estate.

    Just another hmmwv build thread.

    I did a little Rapco remodeling to my doors. They turned out good but now I have the paint the whole truck to match. It’s a freaking vicious cycle. I picked up an H1 roof rack from a guy locally. It’s made to ride in the rain channel of the hard top. I don’t have a hard top or a channel so I...
