Military Dozer: The ULTIMATE Upgrade!

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

We got our hands on a battle-tested John Deere 850J Military Dozer and decided to give it the ultimate C&C Equipment overhaul. This is more than a simple bolt-on upgrade; it's a complete transformation that pushes our fabrication and mechanical skills to the absolute limit.

Follow the entire ground-up process as we tackle two massive projects:
► Fabricating and installing a brand-new, heavy-duty ripper.
► Engineering and building a set of custom limb risers from scratch.

You'll see every challenge and triumph, from dealing with a nightmare-level stuck pin and a broken tap disaster to laying the final welds and plumbing the new hydraulic system. If you love heavy equipment modification, custom fabrication, and seeing a legendary dozer get a new lease on life, you're in the right place.
