I really like the cupholders, do you mind telling where you got them from? I'll be interested in your 3D printed glovebox idea too. I have a printer and would like to try that. Thanks also to FKAM and milcommoguy for their take on smoke. My other three diesels have either a DEF system...

Hauled out two 18" by 10' culvert pipes to the farm and installed them. Widened the atv trails to 10ft wide and ran the HMMWV down them to the ditches where they needed to be installed. It was nice to actually see how the truck performs on slopes! I did have one question though. The first...

Years ago I built a playhouse for my kids that is on top of 6x6 pressure treated posts. I am enclosing the bottom of it as a storage area for mowers/lawn tools. Doing that so I can relocate a shed I only partially use. The long term plan is to clear out an area to build a detached storage...

Found a great way to smooth the ride out, add 1500lb of soaking pressure treated lumber in the back! It drove so smooth!

We just surf fished and in the summer the water temp is too high for larger fish. My son and father in law cleaned up on flounder, croaker and spot. Made for a nice dinner. It was awesome riding out before dawn on the beach and just relaxing. Felt good after wrenching on the HMMWV for...

One more pic of the radio box.

Got a lot done the past few weeks. Finished repainting the soft top and doors using alcohol thinned behr exterior paint and spraying. It worked very well, especially using cheap duct tape in place of masking tape for the rubber seals. Installed a radio box I built from a surplus equipment...

Thanks. I bent it around a 4” in diameter steel round, so a 2” radius. Couldn’t get any shop to respond to my request to bend it so I went with using a little propane forge I have and this jig I made with angle iron, rebar welded on to help keep it from rolling, and a 4” off cut borrowed from a...

Finished fabricating and mounting my modified copy of a Luverne brushguard. Was going to add the expanded metal but liked it better without it.

So I bought 30’ of flat bar and have maybe 5’ left as I built it. The uprights were about 22” each. I used 1.5’ of 3” tube for the brackets. I bought but didn’t use expanded plate for screen. I decided not to add it. Here’s some final pics. i might decide to redo the brackets slightly thicker...

I can take some measurements in the final height. It depends on the bumper you have. I did some customizing as well to get it the way I wanted. I used 3/8 thick bar as described here and the uprights I used 2” square 3/16 thickness. The brackets were 3” square tube I cut a side off of. I ordered...

Sorry I've now answered my own questions by better use of the search tools. All my questions were answered in this other thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?151981-M998-Geared-hub-drain-plug/page2

Can I ask a follow on question? I followed the above as I was checking my hubs out and everything went very well and the hubs were in great shape with the right style of locking tabs but I did manage to round off one drain plug on the hub. I wanted to ask advice on getting those unstuck. I'll...

A short movie of the bending step

So I started building my own brush guard off dimensions shown on this thread. I did the bends with a propane forge and a easy jig I made with angle iron and a 4” round piece of steel. I just have it tack welded for now. The mount I made from 3” tube cutting it open into a bracket. I’ll post...

I wanted to share the M998 I recently purchased through a fellow SS member here. He bought the truck initially, received it, and also did a huge amount of work to get the truck in great shape; painting, parking brakes, cooling system, top/doors, etc. I purchased it off him and have since...

Thanks for the great update. Sounds like you are a happy customer!

I did the same thing this weekend but with a 6000lb kubota 4x4 tractor. Went to actually retrieve a culvert pipe that was mine. Ground looked great after water retreated back and felt firm under foot but about 8ft from the bank I sank right into saturated silt to the belly of the tractor...

Any updates Joe on how the conversion went and how it drives?

Thanks for the update. Have fun with the new transmission. Let us know how it feels.
