    New engine for the V100 - inspired by OSMW

    I am only aware of one person that is remanufacturing a v100 transfer case and he is on his third set of gears trying to get the proper backlash...the first set was too tight, the second was too loose but the proverbial third bowl of porridge seems to be juuuuust right. Fortunately for everyone...

    v100 in 4th of July Parade

    Here's a short video taken from our v100 in the annual 4th of July parade here in Carrollton. I also included a photo taken by someone on the parade route. https://youtu.be/nA8MMsNAJl0

    Bullet proof glass

    http://pasarmor.com/services/ I've used these folks and their prices were quite a bit less than others that quoted my project. ETA: Glass weathers much better than acrylic or polycarbonate, but if you have a low traffic, indoor application it will work great.

    4l80 swap into m114

    I've done it twice. The length is something that you'll need to work around and there's some creative U-joint work that can be done as well.

    My M715

    Hello Jim, I built these using Budd bands and my own centers back in the 90's. I am thinking about making a set of adapters for current military aluminum wheels now since there are several types that should work out nicely. When that happens, I'll probably put the ones on it now on the market as...

    M114 Torsion Bar removal

    If there's not enough of the exposed bar to weld to, drive it out from the opposite side.

    Paint color M114

    Last one I did was 24087 Rapco OD Green semi gloss exterior with seafoam green interior. Some of the earlier machines also had white interior.

    My M715

    Thank you for the kind words. Mine rarely gets driven either and it still has stock ring and pinion gears, but does have lockers installed. At some point I'd like to do the overdrive transmission and a couple other things, but right now we still have too many irons in the fire.

    Starting the overhead console. This (along with the cover panels that are not shown) is made from aluminum then covered in Cordura to match the rest of the interior.

    My M715

    Thank you. We designed and fabricated it, along with many other parts ourselves. It is made from stainless steel since that is what we work with the most. As soon as we finish the overhead console and the switch panel, we will take more photos and post.

    T114 and M114 differences

    They both used the same vision blocks and the entire assembly on the top hat variant rotated where the top ring and doors rotated on the clam shell. Overall height wasn't much different though. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=124498&d=1242911737

    T114 and M114 differences

    The clam shell is the two piece but the one piece (which looks more like a clam opening up) is referred to as a "top hat" cupola...I have a couple clam shell cupolas and one top hat variant...but it was from a later vehicle.
