gringeltaube, you crack me up. All your drawings are just great. You could put them together and sell a book! You make it sound like a hack, but that's a pretty standard way to reinforce the rocker panel guards on Jeep tubs. Works great and looks pro too when it's done right. Formed sheetmetal...

That's what I was trying to say. I wanted to run 11.00 tires, and they're too narrow to mount on modified HEMTT wheels. I think ideally, I'd like to convert to a more common 10-lug pattern and just get some Alcoas, but am pretty happy with how these turned out. Was just a lot of work.

Oh, but one thing to consider: between the two, tire size should dictate which wheels you go with.

Sorry, but I really can't. Those wheels were just one part of a much bigger project, and it's not done yet. Currently stripped, waiting to get sandblasted and painted.

Cool that they cut the bedrails on angle like that. Not too many people would bother.

Have seen this with several old threads. Guessing it's not intentional. MAybe something got lost in an update? Or...

Apparently we're about 6yrs late to the party.

Howe come all these posts got deleted?

Got ahold of somebody at Bosch that's going to try to track down an engineer that works on the HydroMax systems for me. Will let you all know what I can find out. They're probably going to want some information about the brake system, so if anybody can help me out with that I'd appreciate it. I...

Looks like his acct got hacked.

Not planning on doing this myself, but can see how it might be an attractive option for some. Biggest problem I can see is that I've heard that you have to take the steering box apart to remove the steering shaft. Never looked into that though, just cut through mine with a sawzall.

Shouldn't matter what the steering shaft is connected to. Think it's just a matter of sizing the components properly so the ram/s don't fight the steering box.

Take a look at this. Might be a little bit of a pain to modify the column to work with something like that because of the way that it's all enclosed, but probably easier than replacing the steering box.

Nice looking setup. Is that PSC's bolt-on ram-mount? Why did you switch the outer TRE's to heim-joints? What pump are you using?

...and the only thing to be gained by reworking the head/s injectors would be the ability to burn gasoline? Bah. Personally would rather just optimize the fuel system to burn the alternative fuels that they seem to already tolerate fairly well.

Oh yeah, I understand that part Ed. Wasn't trying to suggest that boost is equal to high compression pistons as a substitute, just seemed like if an engine holds up to one it will hold up to the other. That's all I wanted to clarify.

I'm going to build a plane someday. And then I'm going to die in a planecrash.

Thanks. So then it doesn't matter whether the cylinder pressure is generated by high-compression pistons or a high-boost turbo, if an engine can tolerate one it should be able to take the other equally well? In that case it sounds like the compression wouldn't be much of an issue, but figuring...

Thanks, but just so I'm clear, can you please explain to me in a little more detail how they're different? Think I've got an idea, but want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding anything.
