    48" inch Hi Jack Lift

    Here's what ChatGPT told me when asked about Hi Lift safety: Cons & Risks Stability: Narrow base + tall height = very unstable, especially on uneven or soft ground. It can “kick out” suddenly. Control: The mechanism can slip if you don’t keep constant control of the handle; injuries are...

    48" inch Hi Jack Lift

    Hi lift jacks are absurdly dangerous (I carry one though). Bottle jack or if you want to hunt one down a Bogert hydraulic HMMWV jack. I carry a Bogert off road. Great jack but takes up a lot of room. Also you should throw a set of Harbor Freight tire chocks in the bed for any tire changing.

    Thinking of M1101/M1102 for the HMMWV. Tips wanted.

    Bumping my recent thread to ask: any difference between M1101 and M1102 from a features perspective ? I am aware of the capacities don't think I can take advantage of the the higher load capacity of the M1102 since I will tow with an M1165A1. My vehicle is limited to the M1101 GVW for towing...

    M1101 overland trailer build

    @daelivingforjesus very nice build. Did mounting the water tank on the bottom cut the ground clearance by a significant amount?

    Fewer trucks being auctioned?

    Same with M1101 trailers, some weeks there are dozens and other weeks only a few. You just need to be patient.

    WA: HMMWV over guardrail, 2 soldiers injured. Photos

    Injuries are reportedly minor, thankfully. Happened in Bellingham Washington. (Didn't realize this was already posted and it's a JLTV. Oops) https://x.com/wspd2pio/status/1921308141058232449

    New DOT Humvee tires are back!

    If you ditch the two piece 16.5" rims for some 17" GT Cepeks then you'll have a wealth of tire choices.
