Common issue here. 1) Common culprit is the aftermarket keyed ignition switch. 2) Starter solenoid or mechanisms also occasionally get stuck. Best, T

Would you start your old Chevy with a 6 Volt battery? Get a 24 Volt charger or buy new batteries as my suggestion.

In a rear end impact, I'm concerned that this will fail, but I think your ingenuity is terrific. To adjust, you should not have a groove, rather 2 or three set position holes to lock the seat in a position that cannot slide on impact. It would make adjustment fiddly, but would make the design...

After careful consideration, I will be adding heavy gauge right angle bent (vs. welded) rocker panel re-enforcements and square tube steel inner rocker re-enforcements to the sides and I will be deleting the upper aspect of side to side square tube re-enforcement by using a thinner beefier...

Then I might just forget the turbo and re-clock the injector to get a tad more HP. You can also flow a tad more fuel for a bit more HP. If you insist on a turbo, then buy a TD 6.5 for 2-3 grand. You have more than enough HP for the beach.

Honestly, and it might be me, but that HMMWV makes the boat look like a badass military drone.

Or overdrill and helicoil. Before Helicoil, I might first propane torch followed by penetrating oil. Wait 2 hours then use a reverse threaded drill to try to back it out.

Civilian pumps flow more than military de-tuned pumps. I believe the heads and center mount turbo will work. 700R4 truck version with the correct stall speed in the torque converter will be absolutely fine for road use. Rock climbing is a different story. Exhaust temperature sensor would be a...

Nice rig. Welcome to the club. I think mine would leak less if I removed the top entirely.

They rattle loudly, and require immediate rebuild to be anywhere near acceptable. They need locks to be added, and once you add them they need to be manually locked from the outside for passengers (and re-locked when they leave) each time. I like the look BUT I hate the actual doors. I am...

Hard front springs with soft rear springs make for an uncomfortable ride, IMHO. I prefer matching it all up. YMMV. Best, T

So you're gonna place new 300-500 buck tires on a $20,000 rig and you don't wanna protect them with new 10 dollar "O" rings? Hmmmm

You should not just change the rear without also changing the front with matched caliber springs. Best, T

There is no line... Just a gray fuzzy area beyond which the wife might start screaming (if she ever finds out).

Now is a perfect time to install a rebuild kit. If not, sand all contacts with 300 grit and re-assemble and see what happens. IMHO T

Many of us. Which lights are you referring to. Directional. Headlights. Tail lights. Side marker lights. All of the above? Please be specific. T

Autozone sells shafts for 99 clams apiece. You need two identical rear shafts as they are the same length. You need two different size shafts for the front as they are asymmetrical. I think the autozone shaft numbers are as follows but I cannot remember which number fits which axle. One of...

In my case it was power steering fluid in that area. Best, T

Sometimes cheaper is more expensive. 250 clams ain’t bad. By the time you template, make parts, break and replace trial run pieces and car parts, and account for you time, $250 might turn out to be cheap. Best, T

You should also check sources like “Plan B”. They are a company in California. That way you will see what can also be added to these vehicles.
