Also, we don't usually use these things in super challenging terrain.

      an extra few gears really doesn't make the maintenance much worse if any. in fact i would argue that driving in the power band, or lower on a highway is vastly less harmful than revving the crap out of the engine because it is a 4 speed that should be 8. and towing, or driving with armour loads the vehicle just like harsh terrain.

    There is a heat exchanger inside the transfer case. So fluid flows from the transmission to the cooler to the heat exchanger to the transmission. The fluid is not supposed to mix, if the heat exchanger fails then the transmission fluid pumps into the transfer and then out into the vent system possibly ending up in the differential, hubs, or air filter.

    5:46 👀There's a pretty big reason they didn't compress. There's a run flat inset, Either a two piece magnesium or more than likely for the age a solid rubber donut. There are two paths you can take Either pull the rubber donut out and shave it, or there are multiple companies that make inserts from PVC pipe. When it's in the tire/wheel it will prevent the bead from pulling off even down to zero pressure. (Google HMMWV wheel recenters for the rock crawlers who use HMMWV based rims for that very reason)
    EDIT: I can't help but remember almost a decade ago Dirt Every Day swapped out their HMMWV wheels for "Weight saving" a standard set with Micky Ts and busted the beads like 7 times in a trail race. Yeah all that weight reduction really saved them.....

    Beautiful break spot to break down. Could even go for a swim, and relax. Shocking how well it performed in the sand. In the Fab rats video didn't really get an idea of how far it bent the steering linkage.
    You guys are nutballs for going that far with it.
    At least with a supercharged LS, a replacement 4l80 will hold up to whatever you throw at it.
    Plenty of them with a simple shift kit survive over 700hp trans brake launches. Cant wait to see what happens next

    Mounting a flex plate backward will also make it crack apart like that. So if the one you first removed was backward and you mounted the next one the same way.

    23:23 when you upsize the tires, you have to upsize all the components that are related to that too. In your case, remember that bit that adjusted the speedo? This unit was already running on reserve. So you didn't upsize "a little" you upsized a lot. Like half a foot a lot. You'll 100% need to beef up the entire steering package on this if you want it to work without being a nightmare and a parts chewer (so many people get this wrong with these machines - and others, not through their fault, but because it's not a common topic, and in particular, because h-vees are not civie machines, so not much proper data online).

    • @izzyryder4969

    I know you're already thinking "I need more shop space and a heavy duty twinpost" . If you build a big shop, alot of windows and a dark colored wall for the winter sun to shine in on. But doesn't get summer sun because it's shaded by the roof. Have windows in the highest points that open to let the hot air out. Have air cooling tubes in the ground so the hot air exiting the top draws cool air in through the aluminum tubes deep in the ground. Passive cooling and heating. A giant greenhouse over your house is a good way to save energy to. I see you love making your place like a huge technological conversation piece. Solar heat batteries are thick stone or concrete that simply sit there and collect free heat from the sun. A stove inside a cylindrical column that goes almost to the ceiling could draw the cold air on the floor through ducting and heat it without a fan. Just convection.
