The fuel lines came like that on my truck. I did replace them a while back and I think it just makes it easier to do since you can have some slop in the length of tubing between the injectors. If you dont snake them I think you have to be dead on when you cut the tubing and tighten the...

You can get to the transfer case vent easily by removing the access cover on top of the "hump" under the seat.... there are only 2 screws holding the access cover on. The Transmission one I think you probably need to remove the hump in order to access. I recently replaced my vents with tubing...

I'll try to just add some info that could be helpful to both Disc engineering and those of us with stock drums. I'm not an expert on the Air Packs by any means, but I am under the impression that they only start assisting once the line pressure hits a certain point (probably right after the...

Should be a good adventure for you. Let us know if you do have an issue that you need help on and we will spread the word to folks nearby. Here is a tip I recently learned from someone else's post: close all your (cab's) windows and just pop open 1 side of the windshield a few inches, it makes...

I personally think its perfectly safe to run them dish out w/ unflipped hubs the way Blendmaster has. In fact It might even be the better way to do it as far as bearings are concerned. The way he is doing it has the load mainly over the larger inner bearing, when we flip our hubs and have the...

I've learned that there are a ton of different MRAP vehicles out there. Some (probably most) use what we all have been calling MRAP wheels that are Hub Piloted and have the 11" hole in the center, and some MRAP vehicles use the 5 ton pattern wheel that are stud piloted. Some MRAP vehicles have a...

the air-o-matics do use a bunch of air. If you remove the frame mounted regulator it will use more air also but you will get a little more assist. Anyway, I've been eliminating leaks on my truck for a couple years now. I have a new single piston compressor (which feels slower to build pressure...

I had my 5th gear go out too (where it kept wanting to pop out of 5th) I pulled the cover and saw the synchro gears had worn down. The gear's teeth should have been rectangular shaped when looking at them from the top but they had worn into a triangular shape so when under load it would want to...

Hey Jericho, I think I have parts to make 1 more. PM me if interested.

I don't know what the issue is but I'd try a couple simple checks before spending big money on new wheels. If it were me I would drive it around a bit just to warm up the tires a tad. Then I'd jack up the front axle one side at a time just enough so the tire is not rubbing on the ground...

I've been getting lots of the Rapco 383 green both in spray cans and gallons over the last couple years. Here is the link on the off chance you weren't aware of it... the match is perfect and the price is good. http://www.rapcoparts.com/manuals.html

I went from the stock duals to 395's on MRAPs on my 109. With the hubs now flipped the tires are slightly inboard more than the outer dual that was previously there but it is certainly less than 3"... I'd guess 1.5-2". Also since the 395s are running lower tire pressure (about 30-35psi) VS the...

Thosemilitaryguys do seem to make/offer some clever and usefull products for a reasonable price. I think I'll try out that cup holder idea myself on my next visit to HF. I like that it isn't permanent. Really even at $25 that isn't a bad price for it painted and all. It's sometimes amazing...

That cup holder is a neat idea. Looks like the harborfreight spray can holder, is there a good spot to mount it in the truck if you have a stock bench seat still?

00888- feel free to pm me on the switch kit, I've got a couple left, just not listed anymore. I'm pretty much just doing mrap adapters and S.S. Braided brake hoses now. You can check links 42-47 here for more info on the brake switch setup...

At a previous company I worked for we bought loads of AR500 almost exclusively from Temtco Steel in Chicago. Their prices (as of about 5 years ago) were the best around. Figured I'd throw that out there in case you hadn't already gotten quotes from them. Good luck, sounds like a cool project...

That looks cool! When I made my light bar I ended up using Rivet nuts in the windshield frame (which was quite a bit thinner metal than I expected). Unfortunately I overlooked the open hood issue and BBQROD's slick hood supports weren't around yet, they would have been a great solution! I...

The local deuce guy here uses a lift table cart to remove and install transfer cases from underneath the truck. Works slick and they are a useful tool to have. I bough a harbor freight one last year and am very happy with it...

Here is the brake hose and hard line diagram I put together for the single circuit duece that might help. There is lots more brake info that I tried to consolidate in the first 3 posts FOUND HERE

I didn't have access to a hot pressure washer but when I got my truck and wanted to do the same thing as you in order to track down the many leaks, I just used a normal pressure washer and some simple green cleaner and it worked fine. I'm sure the heated pressure washer would work great but if...
