Dirt everyday ..Alabama Army truck....

If you haven't seen this, it's a utube show that's pretty good. This is the latest episode of the M1008 they've built and rebuilt ah couple times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1mahrA_J4M

No reverse.... I wonder how the stock th400 would have taken those burnouts!

He said something about topping of the trans fluid. I think they mite have bin beating on it with very low fluid?

They took the 550 hp engine out of it. Put it in the 2015 Ultimate Adventure Willys. That's a shame, that was a nice M1008.

So what about his Alabama military truck? Going to scrap?

 

[sschaefer3]

I think he is going to keep it. They said this:

"We like to recycle, and so we decided to reuse these parts from other project vehicles. The engine is the Chevy Performance LSA supercharged 6.2L V-8 we had in the Alabama Army Truck. That truck was getting a transmission swap, but when we hit a few speed bumps we decided to rethink the project and the little Jeep seemed like a better home for the 550 hp."

Maybe they'll do ah Cummins swap?
