I kick myself every day for not buying and shipping back a RHD rover when I was over there and had the chance to. I learned to drive a stick in dads old series III. And find myself looking at the X-MOD rovers that come up for auction over in the UK. I just have no idea about the troubles with...

What the **** am I reading in this thread?

Perhaps this is the reason they were surplused out. Found to be defective or out of specs so the whole lot just went straight to DRMO.

All the glow plug does is pre heat that cylinder so it's easier for the diesel to combust on a cold motor. Once it's running the glow pugs are shut off. They don't do anything. If it's holding compression and starts on seven leave it unplugged and leave it till the time comes when you have to...

Ho many times have you towed it and what different conditions have you towed it in? I agree that that set up is not the most ideal set up. You get in a strong cross wind and it pushes you once and you have to correct it quick things could get out of hand fast. Couple that with your marginal...

I don't see where posting a report from over a year ago ( that in it self does not say the HMMWV was that cause of the death) is relevant to this conversation. No one in this thread has said there has never been a death associated with HMMWV accidents. All your our doing is adding to the...

Re-read sigos post. He did not say there were no fatal HMMWV rollovers, he said there were not an inordinate number of fatal rollovers. Statistically speaking HMMWV are no more dangerous than any other SUV on the road today. Mil Vehicles are not designed for nor should be driven like they...

Along with the gears being stronger while pulling from the rear, there's also a lot more crap for the hook or chain to go thru before it gets to you should something go wrong and things start flying around

If you go, bring tools and more cash than you think you'll need. There's always something cool or useful buried in there

There are some previously released HMMWV's that have been titled for on road use. I'm betting that's where these are coming from. Not from the current lot of trucks being released

ISIS already has a ton of our equipment. All that that we left to the rebels to use to fight only to have them turn tail and run off leaving it all behind.

You understand that the safety chains ( to be legal) must be hooked to the tow vehicle and not to the removable hitch.

Try using first gear, don't go from reverse to second. *edit* never mind, in the TM it says when starting off in soft soil or sand to start in low, second gear to avoid digging in. I don't know why I was under the impression the you had to shift into first gear in order decor the sprag to...

If you want to confirm either they are or are not "bullet" holes, just get your AR out and shoot 3-4 more holes from various heights off the floor for comparison.

I'm just east of Ft Riley by 30 min and have a medium towbar set up for sale if you want/need one to go with your new toy.

Notice how much narrower the dump bed is compared to a standard cargo bed. ( probably a good reason behind why the engineers designed it that way)

I believe Patriot meant for the mods to delete his post, not the OP's post about the LESO program

yep that's the guide I used when I found the relay bad on my truck ( former truck ). Started fine one day, nothing the next.

I don't have the specific pages right here but there is a trouble shooting flow chart in the TM that cover this very problem

Yeah that dawned on me after I went to bed last night.
