    Where to get M113 spark plug wires?

    yeah, I know I can get the autolite plugs :) Just don't know which ones are the same spec for thread and head length, etc... as the R44's. Honestly, I don't even know where to find a spec sheet which gives that information for any of the plugs either civilian or shielded. --Wintermute

    Where to get M113 spark plug wires?

    Anyone have any idea where to get the spark plug wires for an M113? I'm also looking for autolite shielded spark plugs that are the same as the R44 or R43 spark plugs for thread and head. Anyone have any ideas? :) Thanks in advance. --Wintermute

    New seats, center console and battery boxes

    I'm sure there is...but not somewhere I would want to put them, I'd rather have them easily accessible. Besides, where I mounted them works perfectly, nothing is in the way and everything fits just right...why would I move them? --Wintermute

    New seats, center console and battery boxes

    Got home today while it was still light out, so here are some updated pictures for ya: these are too large for the local image store requirements in SS (only by about 20kb, but I'm not gonna fool around with compression ratios just to get them uploaded here directly). --Wintermute

    New seats, center console and battery boxes

    I didn't want to put them in the engine bay since it's already pretty cluttered with the hydro-booster and the desert air cleaner. The bed get's used pretty heavily and I need all the storage I can get there. I'm building new jerry can holders since I actually do use the extra fuel storage...

    New seats, center console and battery boxes

    One of the pictures is after I built the new bumper and put the rhino grill on. I had to modify the brush guard to get it to fit over the rhino grill. It's been powder coated and put back on since, but I don't have a picture of the front since I put it back on. The rest are older pics...I'll...

    New seats, center console and battery boxes

    I figured :) I've already planned on sewing up a padded top cover that will wrap partway down around the sides of the lid to protect against just that occurance :wink: --Wintermute

    okay, not in a deuce (still trying to convince my wife to let me get one this year)...this is the shift knob in my M-715. --Wintermute

    New seats, center console and battery boxes

    Well, finally got all of this stuff done. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the two piece seat brackets that I fabricated by themselves...just didn't have the time during the fabrication or the install to get pictures of them before they were in the truck. Here's the details: Seat...

    New Jeep Similar to M715 Coming Out

    So, it's a mopar concept vehicle. I spoke directly to the guys at mopar about this right after it was debuted. Their response to my question as to whether it would ever be available at either a dealer or in a kit form was a loud and long running laugh. After the guy stopped laughing, he...

    Oh my god.....wife posted this

    hehe, my wife helped me pick out my M715 and loves it...she even named it. Guess I just got lucky. May be a bit different when I go to get a bobbed duece though...we'll see :D --Wintermute

    FT Lewis Trailer Recovery / Temp Storage

    I can store them at my place in Woodinville...couldn't pick them up though. If someone wanted to bring them to my place, I'll hang on to them until you can come get them. PM me if that's the route you want to go. --Wintermute

    M725 gear ratio

    If the NV4500 is possible (or another alternate transmission with OD), then the RPM's for 65mph would be quite happy for the engine at only around 2053rpm. I didn't say anywhere in there it would be cheap...I hope I didn't imply it. It would cost to get this motor geared to that level (the...

    M725 gear ratio

    Educated here as well...school of building a heck of a lot of old engines up from blown to blueprint and fast. But...figured the all red blurb with the giant caps meant angry. Giant colored lettering and all caps just isn't my thing. Specifications, measurements, noting items like it having four...

    M725 gear ratio

    I don't disagree that they weren't built for speed to begin with :) I just think they can get there with the right modifications. On the other hand, I got really lucky with my engine, it's got pretty much perfect compression on all cylinders (140-155 across all six of them). After tuning...

    M725 gear ratio

    I don't know about that. I've had no problems hitting 60mph in my M715 with a stock motor, trans, diff gears, hubs, etc... I know I wouldn't want to drive at 60 for any kind of distance, but in my case, the transfer case didn't even get really hot like most peoples did. Now, there may be some...

    M725 gear ratio

    Okay, I decided to run some calculations: The high gear for the NP200 is the same as the NP205, however, there is a difference in noise (NP200=straight cut gears, NP205 = helical gears) and in heat/RPM tolerance due to the difference in gear cut and bearings between the two. Here's some...

    Need M715 Radiator Shroud

    hmmm...mines made of plastic, not fiberglass. I wonder if it's a replacement from another vehicle. Anyone know if the gladiator shrouds fit? I would venture that since they were the same engine, they were probably the same fan and radiator. Might be a good place to look. --Wintermute
