A HEMMT front end on a 5-ton?

I didn't know you could do such a transplant.

You can do anything your abilities, and more importantly your finances, will allow. LOL (Well not really LOL, this thing is a money pit...)

That's cool. I'm hoping to land a 5 ton this week.

If you need any help or TM's. Check out my site. www.steelsoldiers.com

Ehh, not so much. I actually play with these toys. Course they can't go down all the trails a small jeep can. But they're still fun in their own right.

Lot of work is right. It sounds simple when you think about it. Until you start having to re-engineer the steering, pneumatic, controls, and electrical. I thought I'd have this thing knocked out in a couple of months. Course my constant "hey, maybe I should also add this" doesn't help.

Impressive build sir. I am glad to know that someone is using the mechanical gene that I did not receive. I can't even fathom the man hours it took to conceive and then build that. Well done.

Honestly though, I wouldn't uparmor it. I doubt the single front axle would be able to support fully dressed weight.

And if you wanna see it acutally running and a compairsion of it's size. Here's a video of me walking around it. The CUCV (Chevy 4x4) is on a 8" lift and 36's....

I dont believe you..lol especially since its getting A/C and CD player

Nahh, got plenty of other cars. But it'll be more frequently driven than the rest of my MV's. I've also got an air conditioning kit I'll be installing. (As well as a CD player)

Oh I forgot to clairfy, the cab is actually a MK48 PLS cab. They're very close externally, but mechanically very different.

Cab was brand new BTW. Only cost the military $30K....
