    60 Minutes has a story of military vehicle accidents. Tonight NOW west coast.

    my swag is that lift, oversized tires, and rim offset change were all critical factors in changing the center of gravity. I see trucks on the road like this and I either speed up or slow way down to get away from them. In many States there are laws about tires extending past a fender would fail...

    Interesting Response from Vermont DECLINING my HMMWV Registration

    My swag is all the race cars, vintage stuff, Jap & Chinese mini cars/trucks, military, etc has to be a pain to process. VT might want out. All these state dmv go to national conventions where beaurocrats share ideas and feed off each other. It is no coincidence that multiple states are...

    Oil Pressure "LOW" ? 6.5L non-turbo

    The bfg baja tires are a civilian tread and far superior to goodyear in my opinion. Have you checked air pressure, tire balance?, shocks. Front end? Ujoints. Driveshaft? Thumping is not normal and I suspect not a tire issue

    Interesting Response from Vermont DECLINING my HMMWV Registration

    Remember this is a gray area that Vt allowed in having vehicles registered in their state but domicile elsewhere. Do you really want to rattle them and pizz off the golden goose. Smart for them as they collect fees and tax with no wear on their roads. They might want out of the market as many...

    Need help identifying this trailer

    That looks like the newer style m1101/1102 chassis gen set trailer with hmmwv tires. I think the designation is LTT trailer made by Schutt or others. Some can be specially configured and I have seen some with a belly tank. Typically they do not have covers on the LTT series so this could be a...

    Need help identifying this trailer

    Looks like a m116 gen set trailer. Covers are super rare. Hard to tell in pics but maybe an a3 with hmmwv tires/rims. Any other pics?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The original is a simple safety pin either rounded or square with a lanyard. Pins can be found at hardware or any parts store. I got some 1/8 stainless wire and ferules at home depot and made my own lanyard. You will need 2 of everything as the handle also has it own pin and lanyard.

    Typically red oak

    Serpentine belt tensioner out of adjustment?

    Cogs make no difference . Dayco and goodyear use them but gates does not. If the belt has a number starting with K any parts store can supply. Serpentine belts have a universal numbering system. Number of grooves and overall length.

    Progress from North Eastern Maine

    The black one is for electric warn winch. They have the same cannon dash plug. You need yellow or rewire the black one for milemarker hydraulic winch. There are threads here on how to do it.

    Dualled M105A2 Project. Axle Narrowing?

    Maybe not the answer you seek or the right one but 3 inches is not a huge deal and can hardly be noticed. Especially if you mod the fenders & add conspicuity tape plus add mud flaps, no one will bother you. I have run dually m105 and m107 trailers with stock fenders and not had any leo issues...
