partsmj Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Would this be too crazy of a project? I got a set of axles from a M715, and a LWB Comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnaevd Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 the D60 and D70? If they're the 5.67 ( i htink?) that would be pure madness with 37's or even 40's!!! i say do it :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Do it that would be one low crawl ratio even at 37s. i gotta use this one :teehee: couldnt resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'd do it. You may want to think about converting the front to leafs. :needpics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partsmj Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 ratio's are 5.87. gotta get a camera someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You don't want to do that :eek: You want to give me those axles... so I can put them to good use driving I know where just to put them :brows: Sounds like an awesome project. don't forget to swap in the drivetrain as well and put a Howeel FI kit on it. For tires and rims re-centered H1 rims, and some 42 TSL's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 why the H1 rims? I see alot of them on the trail now a days, especially on chevy's. I think that they look rediculous. is there a special power they have that I don't know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 They're beadlocks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For tires and rims re-centered H1 rims, and some 42 TSL's search m715 on ebay, you'll find a front and rear set for like $200. Rear was missing gears, but that's still crazy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/m715-fro ... dZViewItem too bad they're in Idaho. I wish I could find a decent whole 715, I would wheel the hell out of it relatively stock. Not gonna break them axles :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partsmj Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thinking of these. Combat rims and NDT tires: Technical Specs Type Nylon Cord, Non-Directional, MS (Mud & Snow) Size 9.00-16, 8 Ply (9" width on a 16" rim) 16" Split Rim maybe a set of these http://www.expeditionexchange.com/miche ... main.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 The whole thing with H1 rims are they are cheap for double beadlocks... I have a set, and only paid 150 for them, keep in mind you still need to recenter them... and you need to figure a couple hundred for the new centers, and an afternoon in the garage, then you also need to add a rock ring, and I think thats another 150. I know it seems like a lot.. but they are tough as nails, if you are looking for a 16.5 inch tire, and want double locks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 double locks that are DOT legal for the street no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 double locks that are DOT legal for the street no less. This is something that I am not sure about... I will look on my H1's and see if it has the DOT stamp... I know the military doesnt always have to follow the same rules we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 from the reaserch I've picked up there are some that have the stamp and others that don't. Depends on when they were made I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj2mj Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I'd steer away from using 715 axles. Closed knuckles, odd 6 lug pattern, small, coarse spline axles, and they are not very upgrade friendly. And 60s are far from bulletproof. Ask me how I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partsmj Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 would you put leaf springs on the front, or weld on brackets and use the factory suspension? with this. http://www.rubiconexpress.com/dynamic/m ... lderid=346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
