For those who are inclined to read outside the TMs, this is a good book about an EMP event: One Second After

I recently ordered these from CobraTek, but they are on backorder and won't get here for a couple months.

I think there are some Coffee & Cars events around here (e.g., McLean), but I have never been to one. Relatedly, my truck was finally delivered a few weeks ago. Should have the tag and registration in a couple weeks.

That was my thinking behind getting them. Also wanted 17s with stock offset.

If you're worried about it, just hire Dirt Legal to get you an on-road Vermont or Utah tag/title/registration and either keep it or use it to transfer into your state. For various reasons, that is the route I went.

Where did you get it? What branch did it belong to? For what it's worth, mine was a USMC truck and my SF97 was clean--i.e., there is no "off road" stamp on it.

Congrats on your truck. In case it helps you estimate your timeline, I bought mine on 10/21/20, cleared the EUC on 1/12/21, and received the SF97 on 4/29/21. I do not believe my exhaust was moved, or if it was, Steve did not mention it. The height at the roof is about 75". I do not have a...

I will defer to the gurus on the forum, but one would think so, at least insofar as AMG thought it was a good idea to put them in the beefed up trucks for combat purposes. Whether it makes a difference for people like us is a different question (but then again, you have a Duramax, so maybe it...

REV versions of the HMMWV have helical gears. https://forums.g503.com/download/file.php?id=169138&mode=view

Steve at Retired War Horses is the best. He fixed up my M1165a1 that I got from Yermo.

I need to replace the seals on my x-doors. There are OEM (link) and non-OEM (link) versions available. The non-OEM version is 3M and sticks on. The person I spoke to at FMP recommended the non-OEM, saying it is not as stiff and seals better. That makes a certain amount of sense but wanted to...

Only the 1/2" body lift that they put on these trucks at the factory.

Mine has 17x8.5 GT Cepek wheels, with 40x13.5 Milestar Patagonia tires.

The motor had a very bad knock, and replacing it made sense based on the totality of the circumstances. The auction page is here, but not all the info is correct: https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/3818828

Thanks. I was deadset on these wheels and did not consider any others. In case interested, here is a picture Steve sent me with the stock wheel/tire on the rear and the new wheel/tire on the front.

Thanks! I'm really excited to finally have it home. I've updated the original post with some more pictures. Work has been pretty crazy so other than a few minutes when it arrived I haven't gotten to spend much time with it. And I can't really drive it yet because I'm still waiting on the...

I took delivery of a 2009 M1165a1 today that I bought at GP back in October. After clearing the EUC, it spent some time in the extremely capable hands of @Retiredwarhorses . Not that any of you need to hear this, but Steve is the best in the business and was awesome to work with. Looking forward...

Short version: I believe I have all of the hardware you would need for the turbo doghouse. I'm happy to sell it to you for my cost. Long version: I bought an M1165a1 from GovPlanet in October that was missing a doghouse. I anticipated buying the doghouse from Black Dog Customs but thought...

Great. I sent you a PM with my email address.

Can't wait! Where are those trail rides publicized? I went back and reviewed this forum and didn't see much on that front in the last few years.
