Yeah, it's an older design from ARB. I noticed most of the new styles have beefier recovery points. Oh hey Brian... I didn't have to fab and weld on a bull bar. neener neener back at ya... :D

Justin!!! Dude, having gone down that in the Cherokee, there is a HUGE pucker factor. I can't believe you did it with the trailer in tow!!! :Wow1: :Wow1: Sir, you have giant ones!!! :victory:

That's my plan. Already stripped out the box and working on plans for my conversion. :ylsmoke:

So I am driving back from a test run and I don't know how this popped into my head but I might have a name for this rig. The "beast" as it has been getting called just wasn't right so what popped into my head, "Mullet". You know, all business in the front, party in the back! :D Describes...

So I got some more time to work on the 1010 this weekend. Made progress but not as much as I hoped. Installed the Offroad Design steering box brace. Went in without too much hassle and should prevent any frame cracking that could happen. Also installed a Tiny Tach (which I forgot to take...

Well, got back from GV and impressed with what they had to say. I told them of my concerns and issues I have read about and they went over how things work, what "could" break and how it would never be likely to leave me stranded since I do have 4WD and could use FWD if I absolutely needed to...

Yeah, that's been my one issue with the GV. I have heard you absolutely cannot use reverse with the GV overdrive on. Something about the internal cone clutch killing itself and I guess this is not a warranty item if you do it. As for adding complexity, trust me, adding the 4L85E adds way more...

My main breakage concern would be more with it locking up and not allowing the transfer case to rotate, hence stopping any movement. I am definitely leaning this way and because GV is local to me, I am going to swing by (hopefully tomorrow after work) and talk to them in person. Still good...

Thanks for the comments so far. As for a manual, I did work at teaching her and she "could' do it in an emerency (we might be in 1st the whole time LOL) but no go for normal driving duties. To Brian - as for the turbo, I got a Banks system sitting in the garage I picked up off Craigslist. I...

Diesels eat 700's for lunch. I have put them into other projects before but would never put on in a 6800 lbs rig with a almost 10K GVW.

Hi all, I am building a CUCV M1010 ambulance into an offroad camping rig. I have recently put 35" tires on but with the 4.56 gears, I am still very limited in top speed and keeping the RPM's reasonable. Without a doubt I am going to need to put some sort of overdrive system into my rig. Here's...

Cool product. About the only thing I really don't care for is the panel is held with double sided tape. For me, anything that will be inside the cabin (think windows up on a 110*+ day) and bounced around offroad, never seems to hold, especially if mounted to a plastic panel. Be nice if they...

Yeah, for normal driving it seems to be okay but once it starts to flex some (like a driveway entry at an angle) and turning, I am getting some rubbing. I need to do some more trimming or slight lift or ???. Just need more time to play.

Thanks, I did think that size worked well and love the H2 wheels on this series trucks. Not sure what your last comment means?

Thanks. The ride is exactly as it was before the flip. All you have done is basically changed the shackle from a tension type to a compression type. Since I have the box on the back, it actually rides really nice versus an empty truck bed with 5/4 ton springs. If you put a camper on the...

I can help somewhat on the interior dimensions of the box. It's 109" deep, 75" wide and 65" tall. These are inside numbers. Hope that helps.

Interior dimension are 109" deep, 75" wide and 65" tall. Not quite tall enough to stand (unless you're short :sombrero: ). Likely will do a popup roof to help with the height.

So does this count as a full size. :D

No! not at this time. If I do, it will be a minimum of 6-12 months out and my dad has already been given first dibs and at this point, just waiting for me to say yes. Sorry guys.

Hahaha funny you two. I am hoping to get it out... fingers crossed. So I did something today I almost never do... I paid someone else to do some work for me. With the size and weight of this rig, not really having a good space to do the work (didn't want to do it on a sloped driveway) and...
