You can't use a drop-pitman arm without changing the steering geometry because of the way the pitman arm is oriented. If you install a 'drop' pitman arm, it would also be a longer pitman arm, which would reduce the amount that the front wheels would turn when you turn the steering wheel. I've...

Lock-up? Lock up how exactly? Thanks for the warning I guess, but is that really all you have to add to this discussion?

What snatchblock is this? Think it's military, but doesn't seem to have any identifying markings on it. Not sure how these are measured, but the pulleys looks to be about 6-6.5" in diameter (to the valley of the cable-channel, not the centerline diameter), and the opening at the widest part of...

Hubsteps are finally done!

After I sell through this first batch, the price is going up to $125/pair (including shipping, and SS donations will continue). This introductory pricing and the giveaway is just my way of saying thanks to everyone for your support!

Got the new samples welded-up and installed on Mah Deuce today. Really happy with how they turned-out. So I gave Ballistic the green-light to go ahead and cut the rest of them. Should have hubsteps available and ready to ship within the next week or so. I'm going to offer this first batch...

Thanks again for hooking me up with that extra one Bjorn! Going on install it as soon as I do the LDS swap.

Only difference I know of is that some of them use straight-cut gears and some of them use helical-cut gears, right?

Can you source studs with shorter shoulders? Have you given much/any thought to what the scrub radius and track-width might end up being with any given wheel/tire combos? Just curious.

I think you'll sell a bunch of these kits if you can pull that off!

Personally, I don't care. Sounds like the best/easiest option to me. Exactly! I wrestled with this, and decided to re-center the stock wheels, but if/when I ever plan on doing any extensive traveling overseas, I'll almost definitely switch over to 10-lug 22.5 wheels. In the meantime, I'm going...

Cool pics. I dunno about the solar panels. Haven't really given it much/any thought yet, because I've been too busy working on other aspects of the project. Think the big thing is going to be incorporating some type of easy-up-type sunshade into the design though. Otherwise the solar panels are...

That's exactly what I'm doing. Already built the perimeter frame (out of 2" x .120-wall HREW tubing) and tied it into the corner lift-points. The 'deck' is going to be made up mostly of solar panels, which I've been told are plenty strong enough to walk on, but I haven't verified that.

Yes, VERY cool vehicle. I'm kinda limited with what I can have hanging off the back of Mah Deuce, because I'm almost always going to be towing a trailer (usually that M103A3 with a custom enclosure), and I don't want to have to disconnect the trailer to deploy it. Thinking more along the lines...

Ah Dood, we DID talk about that? Don't remember? You told me that your Dad is a distributor, and that I might be able to get some kind of a discount, but I still couldn't afford to buy new. Bummer. Please keep an eye out and let me know if anything else comes along. That's pretty much what I'm...

Hi wilco. Honestly, haven't given the suspension much thought yet. But in the rear, I'm definitely going to incorporate the axle chain-up brackets that I've been talking about into the shock mounts. Up front, it'll probably be something pretty straightforward, but I'll have to cycle the...

Come awn guys, tell me what that deck is all about. I'd been thinking about installing some kind of lift-gate on the back of my M109 box, or something that would serve as a small porch/patio.

That 5-ton spare tire rack isn't going to work real well, unless maybe you put the spare on the driver's-side and don't mind not being able to open the small door? Still, I think you'd probably be better off building something custom. What's that M200 deck all about?

Of course we want to see pics.

Actually, I'm kinda leaning towards a simple dual-circuit system like what was discussed in the HydroMax thread (front axle on one circuit & 2 rear axles on the other circuit).
