Spotted R33 out the front of work today. -
My FAVOURITE cut. Never had a bad prime rib/rib eye.
-
The perfect reverse sear!
-
Monday funday.

I don't need full skinned doors, but as far as security and weather protection goes, I want some. As my car rolled out the factory doors with canvas doors, in theory, they should be legal because original equipment.
-
Slow. Was on the phone to an american shipping company about getting my doors sent from Kansas to Texas. 2 phone calls to America at 11pm last night and they said they'd email me ASAP. Came into work today - no email ugh!

They do an espresso sauce at Side Door BBQ, is good. Also morning babez
-
Blueberry sounds interesting! I want to try an espresso sauce one day.
-
Could be a dirty set of plugs?
-
But what does it do? Congrats mate xoxo
-
Pork belly burnt ends ftw! I did some killer spare ribs last night, no pictures tho, just demolished! (Bourbon BBQ sauce glaze of course!)
-
Thanks man! I don't think my efforts even get close to yours in regards to how much work is involved.
-
I think Trev said he was heading up again in the not too distant future. The Lurker's better half is about to pop, so good luck there!

There is quite a bit, yes. The US just put an order in for another 300 brand new HMMWVs from AM General, so all genuine parts are available to be purchased and all of the technical manuals are available for download in PDF format, so all technical info for them in standard form is super easy to get a hold of. As for aftermarket parts there are a few shops in America who specialise in HMMWVs and Hummer H1s (The Hummer H1 uses the same platform), so will probably be much easier for me to mod and maintain than previous vehicles I've owned like the Mitsi Legnum and Toyota Century.
-
Yeah, probably not bad all things considering (I think it has a new engine though). Morning all.
-
More expensive than a 4L80E. When I get the truck here I can check it's diff gears but I'm fairly sure I already have 2.56 (most early M998s do).
-
The thing that stops you going fast is the Turbo 400, can’t really get above 110 km/h with it, especially for long periods of time, you really need to get the 4L80E if you want to go “fast”. If you want to get to speed quickly, you’re right, the 6.5L turbo isn’t great, it does however make more power and torque than the NA motor and would be the cheapest option (buy a turbo drivetrain out of a late model Humvee with transmission and basically bolt it in)
-
Easiest would be just a 6.5L turbo motor. The later models use a 4L80E transmission so a few guys have done an LS conversion. I THINK the 6.6L is also a popular option, but requires a 2” body lift (which I’m planning anyway to fit bigger tyres underneath)
-
Someone start the GoFundMe!
-
Something something low down torque? In all seriousness though, would be great to reliably cruise >100 km/h haha
-
They're not that long or tall, just wide (2.18m wide to be exact). Should be a bit of fun in the sand. Haha! I've been reading your Titan thread as well. As above it will be too wide for most bays, I'm more than ready to park up the back out of everybody's way, nobody wants to be "that bloke". I see them all the time in F250/F350s or even just people with trailers, park out of the way!!!
-
Might work in peak hour though ?

My first parts acquisition has been a pair of front X-Doors. These apparently used to have the supplemental armour fitted to them, but it has been removed. Although I can probably get the car registered with the standard canvas doors on it, the stitching around the windows/zippers have come undone so would need to be sewed back up. I also think the X-Doors look a hell of a lot better and will give the car a bit more security. I finally found a pair at a reasonable price so made the purchase, they're getting sent from Kansas to my truck in Texas as we speak. These doors need a bit of work and a lick of paint but people don't often like to sell just a pair of fronts if they have a whole set available.
