The M813 has only a lift pump. So in this instance both filters being run in series is fine. Only a suction tube in the tank, line from the tank to the filters and then onto the pump.
I have been looking to swap my canister filter out and am still not sure to what fitting is on the top of the...
I posted some pics back in April of how my old Goodyear tires sat on HEMTT steel wheels. Front sticks out just a bit and rears are tucked in just a bit. Several others posted some pics of what they have. From the questions answered there, many run HEMTT steel wheels on the front and combat...
I was thinking the on demand clutch fan would be nice for deep water crossings and the HP savings. Still interested, but not until a long list is done.
Looking to replace fuel supply and return lines. Are the fuel return lines required to be "smaller" than the supply side?
From what I have read here on SS the NHC 250 pump connection is a 7/8-14 but for the rest the TM lists the connection back on the pickup tube as" "inverted nut tube c." Which...
Very impressive skills and attention to detail as well as choice of materials and parts. Even the stars on the roof are cool! May you have many days enjoying your hard work and planning. The overall look of your ride and the start to finish transformation is tops. Excellent job.
Looks Great! Fun stuff! I very much like the M813 ;) Best wishes on your progress. Here in Utah we have salt that is dumped onto the roads which eats everything. I found on a FJ40 I owned for 20 years that POR15 paint was amazing for rust areas. Could be an excellent base layer over the "battle...
Once you get some more info, it would be nice to know which rotors you sourced, stud bolts used etc... parts lists are always a great help. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
This is the best video I have seen yet on these Rockwell chunks. This is a 2.5 ton but the tech points out that the same process points throughout are the same for a 5 ton chunk. Info to boot he installs a Detroit in his steps too!
Fording in an M813. With the solid non clutch fan on these things, I would think the engine fan would kiss the radiator as soon as a full suck of water was coming in from the front end. When we used to cross deep water with our jeeps we would actually get out and remove our rubber alternator...
With the 16.00s I have I am guessing there was at least one tube of it in each tire. This was with the solid rubber run flat in an XZL. I did take a couple teaspoon scoop out and put some antifreeze in with it in a empty water bottle and it doesn't seem to care. But instead of being a nice...
Info on Hydro-max units. Info on electric motors relay/peddle control to be interesting(Figure 6) and the info on the power steering hydraulic pressure and GPM to be important to reference. There was no spec sheet to give a max PSI input. The general info in the screen shot below was on page 15...
In looking more into the mounting of the disc brake 4 piston caliper. This is a snip from a video on youtube showing a brake change on an F650 with the 4 piston caliper. The plate will need to look similar. That 4 piston caliper is MONSTROUSLY large. The plate is threaded for each of the six...
That is a great question!
Safety. The primary reason is safety backup. With the Stock system any failure in any of the following ends in catastrophic failure: MC seal failure, Air pack issues, hard-line pipe corrosion, soft-line flexible hose deterioration or physical failure, and wheel cylinder...
Getting this great thread back on topic... Check :)
patracy Can you get the part numbers for these parts MC and Hydro boost unit posted up? If I missed it back in the thread I apologize. Reviewing the brakes on my M813, I have a preference for the air over hydraulic but I do feel a dual circuit...
Watching with great interest.
When first considering discs I was thinking I wouldn't want to flip the rear hubs, but seeing how having them flipped hides the rotors inside the wheel far from potential "road" damage, I am sold on flipping them.
An additional benefit of flipping the hub is with...
Are the cases broken from the front vertical guide rollers being slamed into the ground? I have seen some photos and one in person where the vertical side rollers were busted clean off. Makes me want to mount my winch (still need some $$ for parts) so it feeds out above the bumper. Just curious.
