My M1025 is my pride and joy BUT the steel turret with leaky turret is creating cancerous rust. I’m considering swapping off my top and turret for a Plan B Aluminum Slantback without the turret. I will keep the original slantback and top on dry storage along with the turret and support and...

Your work is beautiful however did you seal the fiberglass prior to final paint? The reason I ask is because fiberglass is a bit like a sponge and overtime paint is liquid and will suck into the fiberglass unless you have properly sealed it before painting.

First of all, NEVER shift the transfer case with the engine on. Secondly, keep the thing in H, NOT HL.. Thirdly, if you put it in L, you will over-rev the engine. L is only for rock climbing/sand/low speed situations. Also, the prior poster immediately above me (Barrman) is correct. You have a...

If the RPM scream, perhaps this is a torque converter or transmission clutch issue. If the tranny is working properly, why would the RPM scream unless the tranny is downshifting too much or the clutches are worn?

You could have several problems. You could have a bad lifter pump. You could have a dirty sock inside of the fuel cell. You could have a fuel cell vent that is clogged. You could have an injection pump that is not clocked properly and not providing enough fuel. You could have bad injectors.

On my 1987 M1025A 1 rig, I’m considering a Plan B Aluminum top. There is no central seam and my current top is rusting and rotting because I live in a salt ocean climate.

Pulling your radiator is always a great thing. It allows you to wash out all the dirt and grime and crap that collected in there. When I did this with my mechanic buddy, I found I had three small punctures in my radiator underside that would have led to failure, so I was able to replace my...

I’m in New York. I wouldn’t mind them. I can drive out and get them. P.m. me if the other member does not want them

Unplug the battery and after a half minute reconnect it in and see what happens. Also, you’re using the factory on switch for the lights, correct?

PCB … prohibitively corroded box?

Wow. A 50 cal tree. Awesome.

I would strongly suggest that you avoid installing a turret, because they leak like a sieve. Ask me how I know.

It makes it so that you can cut a more acute angle without ripping up your vehicle with the front of the trailer

Many of us like the increases angle available to push a trailer in reverse. The device also adds a couple of feet of steel to the rear end in places where other drivers drive and park by braille.

86Humv? Retired war horses? Eastern surplus? Fleabay? There are also fiberglass knock offs and aluminum knock offs on FleaBay and Plan B

NEVER DO THAT! It is unpredictable and can lead to premature spring failure and loss of control. Either buy springs that are the correct height or properly shorten them, but do not take risky shortcuts. That kind of crap was done for years by unqualified DIY’ers, and created very unstable cars...

Another way to level your vehicle is to calculate how much difference there is between what you want and what you currently have. Then you use simultaneous equations to calculate how much of the unsprung spring height needs to be cut. Older saggy springs on these vehicles give less of a rough...

Don’t forget that you can always use a GPS program like Waze on your cell phone as a speedometer so you do not need a working speedometer in the vehicle if you have a good cell phone.

It’s beautiful, but what makes it custom?

I won’t argue with the fact that a four-speed transmission will allow the engine to turn at lower RPM, however even at lower RPM our engines create a cacophony of sound. It’s like saying the jet engine makes less sound at lower speeds. It’s still a jet engine. Lol
