There are several of us on the forum with this or a similar setup. My honest opinion - it runs as sweet as a brand new vehicle, and has been no less fun to tinker with, but is not without its problems for me. I had been having a awful time tracking down a check engine light, which was bringing...

2003 gm 5.3, ax15 and d300.

Fair amount of room between my master and painless bulkhead connector.

I had to do some touch ups on my raptor liner. It was way easier than I imagined, and came out much better than I expected. As with most things, practice and have about 50% extra, it takes some trial and error to get the color match and texture right, but otherwise it's pretty darn idiot-proof...

It's probably like 12% smaller, and takes metric bolts instead of SAE.

I wound up buying a complete assembly online and just swapping the clutch peddle out. The other important part is the firewall brace. Here's an affordable one on eBay, the brace is at the top. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224105728324

It was part of a advanced adapters kit for an ls swap. The slave is out of a Toyota, but the master is an early YJ. Adjusting it is difficult because it's way more sensitive than the mechanical clutch was. A little adjustment goes a long way, and it's not terribly easy to adjust because it's...

I did a hydraulic swap for my v8/ax15 swap. Does it work? Yes. Is it a pain in the butt? Yes - hard to adjust, worried about exhaust temps, and that time the o-ring failed on my drive home. The mechanical was such a simple, easy to work with design, but there was no easy way to keep it with my swap.

Ain't that just how the world works these days.

There are some really good online writeups on this, what you're looking for are the rollover and liquid check valves. The return line on your sending unit is supplied by that second out port on your filter. That return line helps prevent vapor lock. Not sure on the pressure, so I won't even...

The lights are pretty simple to replace, but often are easier to replace by removing the whole gauge just because it's like trying to thread a needle with your eyes closed. I bet if you tried a search you could find the bulb size. Lots of people upgrade to LEDs, and typically you can find a...

I have one with latches and a lock, keep your eyes open so you can make a full set!

Any cabinet maker worth their salt can take those instructions and remake them. Should also be helpful to have your originals nearby.

That's saying something in Texas, too.

I see these in a separate class from traditional Scramblers, so they're hard to compare. Because of their specific history and modifications, they be worth more to a smaller group of buyers. They'll be a little like the Alaskan Postals in that regard. Could be a complete rusted out piece of...

Lots of things in this market get talked up and have inflated demand, often because they're rare. Even the simplest of things like original mud flaps and one particular line of floor mats. I remember even 10yrs ago stock radios being worth their weight in gold. Now, you can't find a working one...

Try a search, I'm sure we've seen comparable listings, at least one fairly recent, that might help you get an idea of asking price. Are you at all interested in the fire equipment? For some buyers that has a sort of provenance that might make it worth more. I would keep that stuff in storage if...

Wonder if this has been off and on the market recently. Not the first brush truck we've seen, seems like there was one posted within the past year?

Oh we sweat plenty :) Many days recently I've walked into the house and pitched my shirt right into the wash. Looks like we got up to a cool 112 today, 116 predicted for the weekend!

It'll probably be 6-12 months before I print again. I've been drawing them up in Photoshop and then having them printed by an online photography company - it's a special material similar to what's used for drive through menus and there may only be one place in the US that does it. It's not...
