    how to align humvee wheels

    does anybody here knows if humvee wheels can be align like the regular cars? i found out that im begining to have an uneven lost tread on my right front tire. i got the balancing fixed by taking it to the commercial truck balancing shop. it stopped the shaking at low speed.

    Strange electrical problem

    have that problem all the time on mine and mostly its a grounding problem. aluminum with the harness wire is not a good conductor combination plus combined with dirt and vibration all the time. i run a direct wiring all the time on mine on groundings.

    Is this HMMWV leagal

    because the civilian hummer H1 doesnt have the MILSPEC standard that they built for the military. -deep water fording, water proof electrical wiring, CARC paint, HD brake system transfer case and of course bulletproof if you live in a bad area.:D it will cost you more to convert

    Is this HMMWV leagal

    how were you able to get a perfect humvee frame or how did you weld it back perfectly. ive seen how the DLA contractor demiled or cut this things like a crisscross same as the other DOD demiled items, weapons.? and the question goes back to how were you able to tittle them if you were able to...
