Hence the poser title. :001_smile:

Maybe if this thread was titled "Xzibit's pimped out trucks gallery" it wouldn't be a poser :lkick:

you're right. they are nice rides...but they're GM's, so the only "off-roading" it would do is when it's on the lift in the shop being repaired every month. :lkick:

For real, huh. And it's a crying shame. People like us who love our country and would love to support products made here... and we can't.
 
Sold this a little while ago... company gave me a car so we use Cherokee for boat hauling/shooting duties now.



 
I was going to ask why nobody else has desert pinstripes, but then I noticed you can't see them in the photos of ours, either!

Yeah but you should try the same engine in a GTO. WAY more fun.

Here's my Gas inhaling, rock climbing, rhinolined redneck mobile:

I met you at Facejacket's B-day, right?

Mine was stock then, but I'm currently hooking it up. I just put on a new front bumper today. It's a Smittybilt tubular one.

If it's got all the hot bolt-on's, why is the dust faster than the Jeep?

Well, I just purchased an ex-USMC Humvee out of Lansing, MI and a M109A3 from Nellis and these will be my off road vehicles :smile5:

If you ever see either of these out near Sloan make sure you stop by and say "Hi".


This one is scheduled for delivery on Monday or Tuesday....

and this one should have all the .gov paperwork completed in the next 7-14 days.

thanks,

Ooooooohhhhh...... That deuce is hot! I've been fantasizing about one with a multi-fuel motor with a whistler turbo. Couple of professional fabricators are "bobbing" them: shortening them up and removing one of the rear axles.

They say you can actually get them up to freeway speed. Their low speed is due to a 2800 rpm rev limit on the motor, which gets them to around 50-55 mph. If you get taller tires for them, which the motors are said to turn with ease, you can get more speed (bigger tire = more distance per revolution = spinning the same speed as before covers more ground)...



I'm sorry, deuces are just hot. Any running condition.

Both vehicles are running and the Humvee has a new USGI crate motor in it. It's titled in MI so there won't be a problem with registering here in NV.

As for the Duece, I want to run Super Singles on the vehicle to increase the longevity of the truck. Putting four radial SS tires on the back will help the entire drivetrain by removing the six bias skinny tires. Also, from what I have gathered, the steering radius is improved immensely by going to four SS tires in the rear.

My biggest problem at this time is trying to find a place to keep the Duece :scared:
We are lucky that our neighborhood doesn't have a HOA but at the same time, there is NO way that I could do that to my neighbors. A day or two here and there while we 'mod it but not on a regular basis.

I want to get an M35A3 but again, it comes down to space. I don't know if you are familiar with the A3 but they were upgraded during the Clinton years when the .gov wasn't purchasing anymore M35's. The program overhauled the trucks still inventory. They installed huge CAT engines, run flat system and other upgrades. I was told that the CAT engines can turn 250K miles easily if properly maintained as they are the same engines that commericial trucks use.

thanks,
Ron

Can't even keep mine running. ('89 Cherokee). The speed sensor sucks. I've replaced it three times, and they only last 6-7 months.

i don't know why the have to have a sensor to tell the 'brain' how fast the engine is turning. Can't it just read the tach?

Sounds like the infamous "camshaft speed sensor" or "position sensor" on the XJ's. Those things go out on everybody.

Reason it's different from your tach is because the tach detects crankshaft revolutions. This is used by your ECM in conjunction to the cam position sensor so it can make sure the cams are in the proper position while operating. That sensor breaks, ECM can't be sure the cams are spinning or in proper position, can't run the motor properly.

If you ask me it's a flawed system.
 
sold my daily driver and my scooter, and now looking for real (jeep, bronco, 4x4 truck)...

edit: got a white, 95, 5.8, OJ certified, Ford Bronco- pics to come

Thanks Facejackets, read one of your posts.
 
I'm trying to think of the variant of that. It has the rear door filler panels no rear seats and a convertable wagon back right?
