Thanks for the advice and that's probably where I'll be getting it from.

Thanks for the reply.

Was looking into replacing my canvas top with a hard top simple question really if anyone knows how heavy is the steel top for the M818 truck? I don't need exact but an approximate would be just wondering if one person can put it on and off themselves.

Thanks

Hey, is the part number for this seal: 500177? I just wanted to make sure I was looking for the right one. I went to look at Checkerboard and they must be out of them or I'm searching the wrong number because I didn't see them... so I just wanted to make sure I was searching the right seal...

Thanks again for the quick responses and great advice Simp I really appreciate it

What size wrench do I need for the bolt that holds the flange on? My adjustable won't fit in there and none of my wrenches or ratchets are the right size anyone have any idea?

Well, yeah I must have the clock type speedo can I plug one of the two fittings on it or do I have to replace the speedo? Good suggestion on cleaning out the transfer crap. I also read on one of the people that did the transfer case swap that their drive shaft weren't long enough or too long or...

Thanks for the suggestions I finally had to remove the top cover.... but it now goes in and pulls out still a little sticky but that may just be due to design or bad oil not sure. I only saw one speedo line on the transfer case but on the back of my speedometer there's two lines does one go to...

Thought about that luckily with the help of a big hammer, and a suggestion of taking the top plate off from Simp I got it to work finally. So now I just have strip it, paint it, and put it in. Any suggestion on what would be the best oil to replace the old stuff with? There's so many to pick from.

Thanks for all your help I'm gonna mess with it some more I'll tell you how it works out.

It's stuck like in the middle it won't go in but it's not in all the way and I can just barely pull it out enough if I'm pulling it full strength to make the two spin any ideas what it could be stuck on?

the shift fork rod won't even budge in or out.... is there something I'm missing or did I just get screwed?

Thanks for the response I'm actually going to go check that now.

I just got my T-1138 today and I had noticed that my shaft to the transmission doesn't turn the shaft to the rear shaft with the drum on it but the rear shaft when turned turns the shaft to that would go to the transmission is that normal? Does that mean the transfer case needs constant air to...

Thanks for all the various ideas Like I had put in to original post my first concern was the articulation of the suspension. Do not want to sacrifice the off road capabilities. As for the dual tires it was just a thought. Could probably make it work but as I posted earlier I wanted it but it's...

Yes, I do appreciate it. We only become experts by experimenting, experience and guessing a lot.

Yeah, I know about the spacing between the tires.... but there's always other ways narrowing the frame if I really wanted to get that involved in making the duals fit but I don't..... Just throwing different ideas out you never know when the wrong one will be right.

Thought about the Henderson walking beam just wasn't sure about the width... but it's a thought
