    M1028 Small Lift Build

    The top spring plate will hit the bump stop bracket below the frame. You can always torch it off I suppose. The folks that sell these kits warn about it.

    If not, it's only a 3 hour ride. LOL It is on the "to go" table.

    The registration tent will provide you with a name tag. If you have any deals working with folks, it sure makes it easier when they can find you. They are not a requirement though.

    Official 2016 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 19-23, 2016

    At this time next week, the opening ceremonies will be underway. In short, I'll be waking up to open up the RT. Some of us (not me) are loaded and getting ready to head out for a Friday arrival. Friendly reminders that everyone is tired of hearing. 1) First stop at rally field is the RT...

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    Most of my genuis was earned, often laying on my back in some briar patch or struggling to keep hydrated in the bloody FL heat and stifling humidity. I've done the filter bypass with an inline and the fuel system bypass on the same truck at the same event. Destroyed a transfer case on the way...

    2016 Ga Military Vehicle Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    BFS has gotten hard to find at a discount. I am down to my last 2 gallons and that frightens me. When I was a deuce owner, anytime I got below 5 gallons, I would reorder. Since all I have are CUCVs now, I probably will never use an entire gallon but I don't dare get rid of the second...

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    My question would be on the cans. Wavian has quality cans. Some of the Chinese cans are really crud. That spout is definitly one of the cheaper ones. I do use one of those but with 5L cans and for motor oil. I think you could likely get there using scepter cans and parts. Let me scrounge a minute.

    6.2 diesel to 454 big block gas burner swap.

    So, gas it up, hook up the fume tubes and head to GA. With 454 power, you will be passing everything but a gas station. Congrats, well done.

    8 days to go folks, 3 for others. Time to staple up all your open wounds, grab a transfusion, pillage the spouses bank account and get the truck loaded. Bring coolers and sustainables, ice is sold reasonably on premise. Don't forget charging devices. Phone batteries that last a day won't make...

    Time lapse video of my latest bobbed deuce build

    That's pretty cool. Imagine if you had a stack of all the same colored shirts when you were filming

    passenger side 5 gallon fuel can installation.

    Rear mudflaps are so a good location....for water. The military system was designed as a universal type system. Operationally, large transfer tanks would never have worked. For us in the civilian world, transfer tanks are a great choice. I still enjoy a nice collection of jerry cans.

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    JPG has a good suggestion but let me offer another thing to try before you go that far. Get a cheap see thru inline filter and use it to bypasss the factory filter temporarilry. They are prone to leakage and the clear filter will sure show you bubbles. There is also an aux pickup tube outside...

    Need info on pipeline trucks...anyone familiar with them?

    There are a number of tell tale signs of gassers repowered to multifuel. One dead giveaway is the right rear engine mount. If it is bolted to the frame, it was likely a repower.

    That would have been a V18A/MTQ.

    HMMWV Electrical Connectors - Bullet Style

    Thoze are packard connectors. The best tool to rimp them is a Daniels crimper. Model is AF8. They are nice but so are weatherpack connectors.

    Mike, I'd like to get the IP and injectors off of the mortally injured 6.2. I can come over and fetch them after you get home.
