I hadnt planned to powdercoat the threads. Im still torn on if I want paint or powder coat. I dont plan to do the work just the disassembly.

So ive got a used rhino tire carrier im looking to powder coat. Anything in specific I should look out for during disassembly? Also has anyone here had their tire carrier powder coated?

I recently bought a ibis tek spare tire carrier and am missing left hand bracket. I need some measurements to have one fabbed... or if someone here can fab it even better. Thanks ~Reno

I figured shipping would be freight and expensive. Thanks for the info on the sidewall crack. Im looking at some continentals of that size aswell.

I found some perallis in the 335/80r20 for around 250 a tire which is about what I payed for each tire on my car. Being able to find military surplus tires is a huge benefit because they tend to be cheaper.

I believe I have found some 40 inch military tires that should be the mrap rims. They are 335/80r20. I could be completely wrong tho.

As the title states I am looking for some pictures of mrap rims on our beloved trucks. Recently I have been wondering how this might look I know some have tried it. So send em and lets see how they look! Thanks ~Reno

Isnt that for the tv cable? Im just thinking that when you get to a certain speed you would want to torque converter to lock up to reduce engine rpms and so the tranny doesnt over heat. Altho this is all stuff ive read online

When you do your 700r4 what are you going to do for the torque converter lockup? I have considered this route aswell.

If/when I change the engine it will be a 6.5l turbo. I was looking at tranny choices mostly for the reduction of engine rpms.

So in theory if more weight didnt matter and you had less hp could the allison be put behind a 6.2 and achieve good (for a humvee) mpg and maybe slightly faster acceleration?

Agreed I think it was just something they tested. I was just curious if anyone had heard if the allison was a good idea considering Banks had used it.

I was reading online that banks made an intercooled kit and bolted an allison the 6.5l TD. Does anyone have any info on this? I was thinking of using an allison behind my engine and am just curious as to if it can be done.
Thanks ~Reno

Hey everyone! Does anyone have photos of their jerry can carrier setup for the rear bumper? I am thinking of eaither finding one or fabbing one up. I like the ibis tek 4 holder. Anyway curious to see what some you of have done!

My grandfather has a civilan model with the 6.5 turbo and its not bad just I just want a tad more from it. I would only do very basic things like upgraded injectors and a part to the turbo.
