    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The pins with built in keeper can also be the half moon or square variety. They can be found at tractor Supply, NAPA, farm implement dealers etc. I seem to recall their 1/4 diameter by 3 inch long. OE usually has them tied with piano wire also to keep them from getting lost & easy to make with...

    Hmmwv head question

    Welcome to the madness! I lived in Rome for a few years as a kid in the 70's. Would love to go visit. There are some European US surplus dealers and this is a fairly common engine for many years so hopefully you can find one close and reasonable.

    Dimensions for the 4 troop cover bows

    Do you ever go to New Orleans or Tallahasse as my daughter goes to Florida State? I have a set but shipping would be crazy due to weight and measurements.

    Question on Govplanet observations

    Those things should been made a claim to Iron Planet as easy to document with pictures! Similar thing happened to me with a trailer at Camp Shelby. I refused pick up and got a full refund but it was a hassle to deal with. In the GL days, I was at a location that was not a usual selling...

    Question on Govplanet observations

    parts get cannibalized to keep others going. Some parts are stolen along the way on trucks that sit for sometimes years in yards before getting sold. Panels pulled to get at connectors for light switch or any goodies behind dash etc The oe seat fabric has a lot to be desired as it is thin...

    REV truck?

    Speculation on my part but we have only seen USMC come out. There is still all the other branches that will eventually leak out. Another member posted about his efforts to get others models released by DLA and I think that is why we see the m1097r1 US Army units now and others in the future...

    On Chrysler starters. you fill with go go fluid and from afar. Use flame to inspect. Guaranteed to loosen any starter drive ;-) Housing might not be reusable.....

    Looking at a Local M923A1: Need Advice

    ISO bed trucks are usually USMC and have lockers so that can be a bonus for you. Tires are out there reasonable if you change to the current 395's on the lmtv's. One of our members @fuzzytoaster has a new soft top in the classifieds. 3 lever light switches are out there reasonable also. I would...

    Picked up 804a and 802a today and looking for advise.

    Just a pure speculation swag but Ukraine is in need of gen sets and I suspect working units will be diverted instead of surplused to dla. Ymmv

    Block Heater

    Cords are pretty universal as will fit many vehicles with the same brand. Gm does not make it. That is a reboxed/labeled aftermarket.
