    M998 Rear Roll Bar?

    Does anyone have a source for a roll bar for an M998 cargo area? I've got a 4-man config and would like to add the roll bar/cage that slants back to carry a spare and for general safety. Hopefully this has been done before. Thx, Jon

    Transfer Case Replacement Options

    I read the article on swapping the tranny - very thorough and a great read. Once I do put in the OD, I will not be using an ECM, opting for simplicity, thus the 700-R4 or a Dodge 47RH. His final thoughts sort of tell the story I have in my head - that once it kicks in OD, it was all worth it...

    Transfer Case Replacement Options

    All valid points. Too bad someone doesn't make a lockout mechanism for those hubs. If it weren't too much trouble, I'd disconnect the front half shafts along with the OD and 242 T-Case. But you're right, I'd be doing a LOT of work that pretty much defeats the purpose of having a HMMWV anyway...

However, I also realize at this point I'm basing this on the math, and fully expect to have a different...

    Transfer Case Replacement Options

    It is a 1990, S/N 101192. Plans involve nothing really heavy, no off road competitions, if that's what you're asking. Hunting, farm use, etc. If I recall, the 218 has a low range of greater than 2, correct? 2:1 is actually fine, considering the geared hub config and the 2.56 diff gearing, so...

    Transfer Case Replacement Options

    Just bought an M998 A0. The 6.2 has been replaced with the 6.5, but the 3-speed tranny and NP218 T-case remained. Although I do respect the original config of only 4WD, I really would like to swap the TC for one with a 2WD option in addition to 4H, 4L and 4HL. Long term plan is to drop in a...

    Prices finally dropping.. phew!

    I got one in Tx a couple weeks ago - can't wait to go get it! I was really bummed at the off-road restriction, but I happen to own a small farm. Turns out Tx DMV will allow a farm use title and farm tags. Tx law allows me to drive a farm tagged vehicle between home and farm, plus other uses...
