    Installing the H1 Rocker Panel Protection on Hmmwv

    I've installed them. You need a spacer between them and the floor. Forgot exactly how thick. I also like to add some side bolts. Slap them up there and drill some holes! :p

    Dongfeng doors on Humvee

    Where do you buy the Dongfeng doors from? Do you know for sure they'll fit a Humvee? I 100% agree about the prices. I wish a company like bestop would jump on the HMMWV market and make some reasonably priced doors & tops. I don't see why the same part for a jeep needs to cost 5 times as much...

    Hemi 5.7L Engine Swap In a Hmmwv

    I run a 6.1 Hemi in my 4wd offroad race car. The engines are great, but the dodge electronics/control system is a nightmare. After lots of time and money and a number of races lost because of issues, I finally gave up on running the computer controlled trans and went with a Holley Terminator...

    Torsen differential locking tips and tricks

    I don't have the ability to see your video right now, but I'll make a couple comments. BTM is best used in Low-lock. This will provide the most torque to overcome the applied brake resistance. You can use it in High-lock (or even high), but if your conquering an obstacle requiring...

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    Real what, springs? Springs make a big difference, but shocks are the 2nd part of the equation. The stiff stock shocks also cause a very firm ride even with soft springs.

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    Yes, you'll need longer springs with the cast rear mounts. Although I haven't tried this configuration, I'd recommend starting with no more than 1 coil cut in the rear with the cast mounts (honestly, I'd start with no coils and go from there, hard to put them back on :D)

    Preditor Inc. HMMWV HEAVY DUTY 12K HALF SHAFT KIT

    Some day I may do the 12k shaft conversion, but I've been wheeling my HMMWV pretty hard and no issues with the stock 10k's yet. I've broken a driveshaft u-joint, wore out some steering parts, but no axle issues.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Montana Registered Agent | $49 Montana Registered Agent (49dollarmontanaregisteredagent.com) They seem very helpful and knowledgeable on the process for HMMWV's.

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Good news update. Confirmed that the MT registration agent I'm planning to use could work with just the SF97. Cancelled my title order with GovPlanet yesterday and will receive my SF97 today (according to Fed-ex, I was shocked they sent it overnight).

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Just a quick update on the title for my HMMWV I purchased back on 06/02/2021. 4 weeks ago I called them and was excited to hear they finally received my SF97 and were "about to send it to MT for generation of a title which should take no more than 4 weeks". Would have had the SF97 months ago...

    That sucks! Hope you don't give up! Do you own any HMMWV's or is this your first?

    Gas Conversion

    Pretty awesome! Is it up and running? (Haven't seen the video) What size turbo did you go with? I'm a big fan of the LS swap HUMVEE and have been debating going this way. But both are awesome, just comes down to personal preference I guess. For me, the main pros of a diesel are fuel...

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    I truly hope you find a solution that lets you keep and enjoy the HMMWV not just sell it. Even if that means becoming a Montana 'business owner'. Don't let some FL bureaucrats take away your awesome retirement present. I mean it's just a CAR. It has seat belts, brake lights, horn, even came...

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    Does FL require the vehicle to be 20 years or older for FMV tags? Just curious, doesn't effect me since I'm in CO. Which may be one of the worst states to try and register a MV.

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    I always thought FL was a very vehicle friendly state and would be an easy place to register a HUMVEE. Guess I was wrong. Very disappointing. Seems we're really fighting a losing battle, with so many states enacting laws/rules against MV registration.

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    It would sure be nice if that could work, but I'm not sure if you'd be able to get a straight shot top to bottom, I think the shock body would get in the way.

    Did they send you the SF97 too? Have you talked to them about this, what did they say?

    Spring replacement, leveling springs

    25" is a nice height. Not much down travel, but very good clearance and should have lots of compression with the softer spring rate. BTW, if you haven't tried it, pull the sway bar sometime and see what a big difference it makes in articulation. I actually always run mine without the sway...
