Where'd you get it?! What are your plans for it? I checked out your website and black dog customs. They do nice work but, I'm not trying to spend 50k on this. 15k plus for one from eastern surplus seems cheap compared to current auction and eBay prices. No buyers premium or title trouble...

Dang, you got them for 4k?! Wanna sell one??? Ha! I'm not trying to restore these to correct military condition, just looking for a good deal on a 4 speed truck. So I could get a replacement B pillar and aftermarket handles top and that's cool with me. Was wondering what shape these came in.

So did anyone ever get one of these? What shape were they in

What companies would you recommend? Eastern surplus seems to have a bunch for sale but those are stripped down. I'm on the east coast.

Very cool, thanks. I had thought the 12k shafts were not as common. These seem like a very nice variant.

Do these variants have the 12k halfshafts and portal boxes? Can't seem to find that info. They are the heavier 10,300 gvwr like the m1123 and I believe all those have the 12k halfshafts. I'm looking into more info on these as their price seems to be quite good these days.

Wow thanks for the tip. This looks like it will work. Can register and get title there. Nice!

Not humvee related but I figured y'all would know about the VT loophole. My father in law gave me his boat trailer. Title is lost but we have all the other docs, including the old plate. NY DMV made us jump through hoops of red tape and we did it all, but I still haven't heard back in...

American humvee has 2" leveling springs and a 4" lift springs. I assume that's 4" in the front and 2 in the rear?(I'm not certain) https://www.militarytruckworks.com/shop But wouldn't raising the front 4 inches (and maybe 2") cause some problems with the stock half shaft U joints? Seems like...

Yes I saw that disc brake at the wheels conversion on YouTube, done by Midwest military equip. But I didn't find any info on their site about parts or anything. The Tesla trans is a 9.73:1 stock. I did see a new gear set that'll take it down to 4.5:1 but, I haven't been able to find out if...

I'm still considering options, but there's basically Tesla motors and Danfoss motors at this point. Tesla motors can't replace the transfer case bc of the gearing, and they can't replace the diffs, ie direct drive, because of the disk brake locations on the humvee. Cost becomes prohibitive...

The simple answer to "why" is..... Electric motor.

Crazy question but does anyone know if there's a ring and pinion setup that 1:1 or close to it? (For the diffs)

Another question..... What's the Gearing of H and Low? Is high 1:1?

I guess that makes sense. More like AWD in High and the true 4x4 in low.
