Thanks for the welcome!
I'm in good company, I've learned quite a bit reading through some of the forums.
I live by "Pay attention, you can learn something from everyone"
Right on Will, can do that.
n8, we'll be there this year with a couple of other vehicles. One is the bike we finished belonging to the fellow in one of the pictures called "Boba Jaga". We plan to have at least one H1 there next year.
This one doesn't do fording, he loves to play on the sand dunes.
The Body lift is 2 inches and we ended up with solid mounts for the motor. Too much torque twisting. I will be making some upgrades on it later this year and I think I have a way to give it some compliance and keep the motor twist...
Yes, as Thefermanator stated, you have to pull and modify the rails or purchase the modified rails to install. It requires removing the roll pins from the shift forks/rails and the case needs to be open.
Whew! Took awhile but I read all 14 pages that cover the span of this conversion. Nice job!
I put a Cummins in a H1 a few years back and it was quite the job as well. That one was more of a "play toy" and used a manual body on the 4L80, did an A/C delete and deleted all the computer.
Now I'm...
