I noticed these weren't too visible with the picture I posted: http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Workshop/TrunkMonkey1.mov http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Workshop/TrunkMonkey4.wmv

Yeah Chris - Like I'd EVER own a french car... even Americans know better. LOL!

Why thick glass? Any size over 1/8" will take a hail-ball with olympic strength. Cut a sheet to cover the panels, lay it over the top, seal it around the edges with a flexible sealant. Plexiglass is notorious for "crazing" so in about 5 years, it will have to be replaced anyhow. Sooner if you...

Hey, aren't you the guy with the M35 that can't sell on ebay because of the bad fuel pump? I was going to email you...

ahhh- forget the locking door handles... go get a trunk monkey! anti-road rage anti theft system

I don't think it is a Naval truck #. They use black sprayed tac marks like the Marines do. It would say something like "M11310" and have no "license plate" or non-tactical lighter colors on the scheme. I believe the "CR" is a notation towards the US "c" system of combat rediness. "CR" means...

Well, if you use standard truck tires on it, you'll get 30-80,000 miles from them. They'll dry rot before they loose all of the tread. on a 5-1/2 gal oil system, that is tested for bad oil every 3,000 miles and sometimes changed as far out as 30,000 with constant use. Other than that, unless...

Cut a piece of plexiglass and cover it...

I like the single wheels, muffler, and the almost 5-ton intake, but that's it. Those CTIS hubs make it look corny. I guess it has always been function over form for these trucks... Now the new 8 Tons are COOL! I think oshkosh makes them. We had 6 in the artilllery battery I left in 1999.

Heated, yes. but it actually works as a crude intercooler too (until it heat soaks). Temp of the charge air at a few psi boost was something like 230 degrees, if I remember properly... I don't have my notes with me.

Well, with an intercooler, I would only have to go to 10psi and develope a huge amount of power vs. turning up boost and hurting the head. I appreciate the knoweldge about the head gasket and studs.

And it is pre-assembled... but 427 hp.... I've gotta own one!

Totally, and overnight shipping was CHEAP! I'll send pics when it comes in.

I thought this was funny: Specs of the original M35 A1 Specs: Engine: Continental, LDS-427-2 Multifuel, Compression Ignition, 6 Cylinder Horsepower: 427 HP Transmission, synchromesh: Spicer 3053A Width: 88 in. Length 262 in. (without winch) Empty weight: 13,443 lbs. (again w/o...

Ok so using the stock turbo, and a proper a/f ratio (slightly lean of stoichiometric), I'm calculating that the engine will develop about 307 hp and 601 ft. lbs. of torque at 15psi (which will not leave the proper efficiency island for this turbo). The trick here is properly tuning the...

oooooooo dibs!

LOL

Ahh- now I read why my posts to the video area don't go. I have a funny one of the world's smallest LAV 8x8 and another of an apache attack on iraqis.

Jones - I have a question about the T-case mount, are those rubber or silicone dampeners? I was wondering about the difference, if any, on how they hold up over time. I've gotta say that you have one of the most craziest projects I've seen in a while, but it is such a cool idea. I wish I had...

wow that is news, and I didn't see the saw.. see saw... or liftgate. I really do have good reading comprehension, that is, if I read the thing.
