I want to thank you for this thread, its made me learn more than I thought I ever wanted to know about my IP. It seems the thread goals have "jumped" around. ie, What if the solenoid failed? How can we start it with a failed solenoid? How can we shut it off? Can we use a valve? etc...

Posts with questions like these, and pictures like this, make me think of ways to solve problems that don't exist :D
I downloaded the second picture and marked it up. The gist of it starts off making a new plunger OR an add on piece to the end of the plunger (the red part in the picture...
I did a chart on available wheels and offsets vs rim width when I was looking for a set of rims and tires. Also included different available tires. I did it 2 years ago and some of the options have probably changed since then. One of my primary concerns was wheel offset and how much further...
I think you are looking at the wrong vehicle for what you want. Let's assume you could do all you want with a Humvee, it's still an Aluminum can with little to no safety features. In an accident I rather be in a Hyundai or a Kia and that isn't saying a lot. Even if you could do 70 mph on the...
I followed your link and was surprised at the cost, $303 on sale from $397. I know I didn't pay anywhere near that for mine so I started searching for my old order ....

The picture above has a longer rocker to extend the wheelbase for the drivetrain. In thinking about this I redid the photoshopped picture to increase the wheelbase while retaining the stock door size. I kept the overall length the same and that would move the rear wheels back improving the...
I've seen a few done to different levels but none of them a refined and finished conversion. One didn't retain the transfer case and 4x4 due to length of drivetrain but I think I could. Also, they are all open top. I'd like to do a slantback with doors and a hard top, like the picture.

My plan hit a glitch, I ordered the parts from Midwest Military but they sent the wrong parts and when I contacted them it turns out they don't have them in stock. Rather than putting on paid back order (eta 120 days) they refunded my money and told me I could buy them when they come in. Of...
