That's so weird not hearing a motor running only the drive train and tires and the squeak of the body. Good job! Will be interested in how it performs on road when you get all the details worked out.
There is a guy on Youtube his channel is JerryRigEverything and he is converting a HMMWV to electric in the same way your are doing the M37. Don't know if you've seen it or not, but I thought I'd mention it in case you want to compare notes with what he's doing.
It looks like you have power steering. Will you be hooking up a pump to the front of the motor? Also do you need a alternator for recharging? I know nothing about electric vehicles. Looks like you might have some room in the engine compartment to mount some of the batteries?
Am I correct in seeing that you are not using the 4 speed transmission but just going from electric motor to bell housing to the transfer case? Or am I just seeing it wrong in the pictures? Cool build want to see how it turns out.
