    Trailer Recommendation

    The M416 is a good trailer for the jeep as it's relatively light and narrow. You could go with the M101A2 if you need more cargo space than the M416 can offer but it comes at a heavy cost. Mark

    Virginia title and registration- possible issue

    As long as you got it registered I would start jumping up and down. Always a lot of stress getting these things registered and insured. Mine is a Hum. Lol Mark

    Loss of all electrical power while driving

    On all electrical connections I use Permatex copper never seize. Obviously It's a great never seize but also helps prevent Galvanic corrosion (dissimilar-metal corrosion). This product is also a good electrical conductor and can handle high temps so it's a win win all the way around. Just...

    VIC-3 Intercom system - want to integrate cell phone into vic-3 system? what is the voodoo magic interface

    Interesting thread as I was unaware of a bluetooth adapter for the Vic system. I went with a aviation Flightcom system in my M998. Looking forward to your progress. Since you are adding all kinds of cool stuff to your truck have you thought about the Iris quiet power inverter? I have one and...

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    As stated good "X" doors are a thousand plus each. They are getting that price so why sell them for less. Everything to do with these trucks is getting more and more expensive unfortunately. Good luck with your search. Mark

    Transfer Case Cooling Loop

    Just make sure you use trans line hose and a a good 3/8" hard line for the bend. Flaring the lines is a good idea (double or single) but if it's a small stright gap between the hard lines if you can double clamps it you should be fine. Around 90psi in the trans lines as I remember. Have had...

    Glow plug on while running.....is it ok?

    With the heat of the combustion going on in a running engine it would be a really bad idea to run the plugs. As stated once the engine is running there is no real reason to engage the plugs. I installed new set of plugs and turned them and started the engine. Only ran it for maybe 30secs...

    Two silly oil change questions...

    I do it to bring the batteries up as I don't have power where my truck is at. If you let the truck Idle for 20min it gets hot enough to get rid of any moisture in the oil. A five or ten min run won't be enough. I have worked on equipment that would run for maybe 5 min to get a job done and...

    Two silly oil change questions...

    I change my oil about every year to year a a half. I don't put on enough miles for that to factor in at all. Rotella 15w40 is my go to with a Wix filter. Fram is well proven to be trash. Your fresh oil change will be black within two minutes of idling so don't worry about it. I don't run my...
