    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    More pics... The bob job started this afternoon. I settled on 11 inches from the back of cab to front of trailer (not counting the ribs). This will leave me with enough room for 2 jerry can mounts on the front of the trailer. I also need room to mount the rear portion of the external roll...

    HanksDeuce: 8" Lift, Bobbed, External Cage, A/C and more Project!

    After much thought, consideration and hard-earned money spent gathering parts I decided to start on my deuce project today. Many thanks to TimnTrucks and littlebob for helping me in this endeavor by providing lifting services by Tim's wrecker and elbow grease by both. I'm sure a few more...

    24v LED headlights

    I have a British kit car and replacement parts are pretty expensive. I had a local installer put 3M rockguard protective film over the fiberglass bodywork and headlights. It is a pressure activated material so you don't have to worry about getting it aligned properly before it sets like...

    Adding A/C and powersteering

    The route I will take is a roof-mounted RV type A/C unit powered by an inverter generator. The RV units are stand alone without the need for a front-mount compressor. The only line going to the A/C unit is the power cord from the generator. These new inverter generators have remotes with them...

    flooring rubber

    My local Tractor Supply sells rubber matting per foot. They have various thicknesses. Most people use it in horse stalls as flooring.

    Disc Brake Engineering Thread

    I love this site. Very informative posts on the engineering of the brackets. I've been talking with Steve6x6x6 about the disc brake conversion to get away from drums. He is currently researching a solution that gets rid of the air booster altogether. I will let Steve post about that when he...

    A3 Crew Cab Build Starts

    Looks really good! Are you going to put more metal between the front and rear windows so that when you roll them all up you don't have a breeze? ;)

    Class IV Hitch...Done.

    Sorry, I changed usernames (used to be Hank.). No one posted here about the converter box so I chose a different path. I am in the processing of bobbing my M35A2 so I will be using the wiring harness off my M105A2 trailer for a set of detachable lights with magnet bases. This will allow me...

    Disc Brake Engineering Thread

    I agree with frodo. If we can get a disc conversion kit for a reasonable price it will reduce the maintenance required and be able to survive trips to the local mud hole. No more feeler gauges through port windows to set the brake clearances. The pads should be cheaper than the shoes. The...

    Disc Brake Engineering Thread

    I found the following thread from Pirate 4x4. Uses 1994 Ford F-700 Bus rotors, rear calipers from a 2001 Ford F-550, and a master cylinder from a 1985 Chevy K30. On the last page of the thread a vendor is selling a front/rear kit for $1500 without brake hoses. Rockwell wheel brakes w/ pics -...

    Water to air intercooler, Charge air cooler, Aftercooler...

    I used to own a 2004 Ford Mustang Cobra that had an Eaton supercharger bolted on top from the factory. Below the supercharger was the water-to-air intercooler and below that was the intake manifold. The intercooler used a small 12v pump that circulated a water/coolant mix through a separate...
