It’s that new math they’re teaching our kids in school. I before E except after 3, and stuff like that.
I blame Gloria Steinem, Jimmy Carter and those darned hippies. It also didn’t help when Bob Dylan went electric.
Cam, after my alignment and addition of centrimatics I pushed mine down a long straight downhill road at 62MPH. Super stable. Wants to go straight and is not twitchy in the least.
Never will do it again with the 3-speed as it killed my hearing, but I will be installing the 4 speed finally...
I have an '87. It has a 6.2 and the 3 speed.
3 speed will limit you to 50MPH. 4 speed will allow 65MPH.
For offroading and trails, 3 speed is awesome. For long hauls on the highway, you will want to update that transmission.
(Juan Prado has a 3 speed that he swears will to 70, so there must...
Maybe time to remove the outer and go to NAPA or another mom and pop auto parts place with the inner and see what looks like it might fit?
Rarely do these boots fit only 1 vehicle. (In my experience. )
Looking at the camper box in the HMMWV bed, it looks like there are several points to place a come-along. A collapsible ladder with a skid made from a piece of plywood and you should be able to get that tire up there easy. Even without the camper box, attaching the come-along to the pintle and...
1000eemonarch, you misunderstood the keyed ignition comment.
Pushbutton LED and keyed ignitions are sources of constant electrical issues on HMMWV's. No one was telling you to install one.
Steve is one Hell of a guy. Helpful and solid.
There is also the company "Plan B" in California that will have what you want. A member here bought from them and was happy, although he had a differential fail driving cross country to get the rig home. https://www.planbtrucks.com/
If you buy the...

Has almost everything you want... For $5k in doors and $3K in paint, you will have what you want for $40K.
The paint forum will go over Behr...
Then you should have led off with the fact that you're looking to get a vehicle build commissioned.
You need to contact RetiredWarHorses on this forum... He will build for you EXACTLY what you want.
If you chose him, the vehicle will be outstanding in every detail.
He is a well respected...
So what you're saying is you want to build a $65-$75K truck, but you don't have the truck or the parts or the experience?
My suggestion... Stop posting pics from the Internet, start reading a lot, and then purchase a truck that is within your means.
Then fix what you have to fix prior to...
I see this is your first post... Welcome!
You need to include STATE and city, and we all know Chi Town is in Illinois but site mods will also point this out.
Awesome looking doors and I'm sorry I cannot help you out, but glad you're here to join the fun.
Years ago, I placed Lexus rims on a Saab 900. I brought the rims to a machine shop where they placed them on a lathe and milled out of the center area for $20 apiece.
That is my suggestion for you now. Take to a machine shop and have them mount on a lathe and mill out the centers to the exact...
