Was the light bar attached magnetically or did they drill holes? I have no familiarity with light bars - sorry if this is an obviously stupid question.

I didn't intend it as a pissing match either - I was simply trying to communicate that there is a value proposition to buying a unit that has been inspected and serviced for a reasonable premium. With regard to your experience in the TXARNG - I don't doubt that your unit was well disciplined in...

As someone who has just finished the restoration on a "well maintained" HMMWV I can tell you that you CAN NOT do to much due diligence. I'm sure you've spent some time on here reading the horror stories surrounding the trucks and gen-sets picked up from GL. If you have nothing but time on...

Nice - would love a few more shots of the finished product!

Nuke carrier went down? I assume you mean drydocked or removed from service for repair and not sunk?

I know a lot of the members of our community are active or reserve soldiers (to include service men and women of all branches) and quite a few of you are deployed, heading out soon, or on your way back. In a few cases we have some members who are recovering from injuries received in the line of...

The differentials were slightly different between the civilian and the military version.

Just found out it has this little feature as well...

Another passion of mine is "Tiny Houses" and small footprint living (not carbon footprint, just square footage) so I review this blog daily: Tiny House Blog - Small House Living The other day the feature was one of the cooler tiny / mobile houses I've ever seen. I thought there might be some...

Unless you built the buggy from the ground up then I'd say you did good! I looked at Unis for a while and it seems like folks that have them don't really part with them that often. Maybe you could fix it up and use it in parades with your company's name on it... It would certainly be unique...

Why would anyone care if he owns an MV? He clarified what type of question he wanted to ask pretty well, and even if he didn't own one perhaps hanging out here would interest him in the hobby enough to participate in ownership as well. The only reason I ask cucvfreak is because I saw the...

:nopics:

I don't understand why GL has such difficulty maintaining the integrity of the items they auction after the pictures are taken. It's not like soldiers are gonna walk in and steal the stuff (if their are told clearly that it isn't ok to scrounge there). It seems to me that GL has a...

Oh Man! I am REALLY looking forward to this restoration thread!

Easiest adjustment is at the dinner table - sounds like you're already working on the modification. Good luck with the project!

My favorite cutter was one I got from a company called "CRL" - it had the oil in the handle and dispensed it automatically as the glass was scored - but that would be expensive to purchase for just one pieces of glass. Any good cutter (new) should be fine for your project. Have you cut...

You can get a surplus 6.2L engine for about $400 (I bought 2 for $125 each) - you might consider upgrading to a 6.5L n/a instead. Swap time on the engine is about 10 hours and you'll need a lift with a long reach. This is all assuming that a 6.2L from a military HMMWV will drop into an H1. I...

That seems like a steal if it stays that cheap.

Tell that to the folks in Massachusetts. Every vote counts equally in this country, and while you can certainly use a media blitz to sway voter opinion, if I put horse dung in a pie crust and repeatedly tell you its delicious with enough flash and pomp, are you going to eat it? In my opinion...

I agree Gunboy. In fact, if it hasn't been done already it would be a really good exercise to have someone compile the actual number of accidents per miles driven for comparison to the national averages for a variety of vehicle classes. This is data that should be readily available on a...
