They would come assembled, welded, un-painted.

Well, there are two schools of thought when it comes to things like pedals, pegs, etc. Make them 'shin-friendly' and you'll be a little bit more likely to slip off them, but shouldn't tear you up too bad when you do. Or make shin-shredders, and hope that the extra traction will keep you from...

A number of people have contacted me, asking about hubsteps for the 5-ton trucks. Welder Sam shipped me an extra drive flange off an 809, so I started working on this a few days ago. This CAD model is still pretty rough, but have a few questions: Are the drive flanges the same for the front and...

I've got a good airpack that I just pulled off my truck to install a Hydro-Max system. Shoot me a PM.

I have a media blaster attachment for a pressure washer that you're welcome to borrow if you want to pay for shipping?

What about just taking it to a sandblaster? Having my whole M109 sandblasted and painted right now, and the sandblasting is really pretty cheap.

Why not sandblast?

Pretty sure, yes. If you can find two more rotors and calipers. Only thing I can think of that might be a problem is if the master cylinder maybe didn't have enough fluid volume for the extra calipers?

The backup motor might also interfere with the transfercase mounting crossmember. Might end up needing to modify that too.

Three different cleviseses are direct-fits, and the stock pushrod could probably be modified (turned down on a lathe) and made to work just fine too. But if I have to offset the master/booster to one side none of those options work anymore. Could switch over to a single-shear clevis, or have a...

Received the all of the Hydro-Max parts (except for the 24V backup pump which is still on-order). All this stuff actually showed-up a few days ago, but I just finally got a chance to open up the boxes. Not really much else I could ask for. 1 3/4" 50/50 master cylinder with pressure...

Try to avoid speaking in absolute terms, because there are always exceptions. For instance, would prefer a spool to a detroit-type locker (rear) in a short-wheelbase vehicles. Like my old CJ7. Chirped the tires a bit, but was much more predictable than a detroit. Lifted, flexy, lightweight...

Yeah, there are definitely better/worse ways to weld-up a differential, and techniques vary depending on what kind of differential you're working with. But done right, there's really no chance that it's going to fail.

There's nothing inherently wrong with welded differentials. All you're doing is turning an open differential into a spool. Not good or bad, more a matter of application. I'm probably going to weld-up one of my rear axles and then install locking hubs, and those of you who are familiar with my...

Would love to see what that looks like.

Oh, and I'm obviously pretty tech-oriented too. The thing that really drove me away was the fact that the'yre just selling the 'expo' experience so hard, and most of those guys are buying it. Literally. Their all expo'ed-out. Right down to their undies. Cool deal about getting a feature spot for...

Very interested in details about that tank too. Dimensions, capacity, application, etc. Have been looking at step-tanks, trying to find something that looks like pretty much exactly what you seem to have found. Looks like would work with a stock tank behind it?

Tom, should be pretty easy to tap one of those boxes for a hydro-assist option, right? The other option would be to splice one of those steering shaft servos into the steering column somewhere. No kit available (yet), but would be a pretty slick way to go, and you wouldn't even have to replace...

The 'expo' crowd is a pretty queer bunch. Kinda fussy. Super techie, gadget-oriented, etc. Would rather sit on a hand grenade than spend any amount of time with most of those people.

Cool setup. Only curious as to why you chose to use a Toyota pump? It's just that most people building Toyotas who are running hydro convert over to saginaw pumps.
