    7.00x16 tire mounting

    There is a tire shop on Airline close to Cleary by SAm's in Metairie that does my old school lock ring rims with tubes on my m101a1 trailer with super lug 900x16. I will pick up a card on Monday with phone number and name for you.

    CB and 2- meter antenna builds.

    The mast for the As-3900 and the Mx-6707 are different threads and not interchangeable from what I understand. The cheaper sincgars antenna is the AS-3916 which uses a steel whip. Usually the bases are cheap. Make sure you get one with the collet nut if you do so. Hainey Electric on ebay has...

    "Popping" noise in front end

    Thanks for posting. In another lifetime I sold parts and service. Unfortunately, I have seen many ball joint/control arm separations along with tie rods. Never good and always causes a lot more damage mechanically and usually body also.. Great reason to always look at all the stuff on the front...

    Utah HMMWV recovery, Helmet Hard top install, and build.

    Looking good! Fyi, that fellow member ,General Hood, has the Harris rubber insulators for your HF antenna set up on the right and I would add- very reasonable.

    New owner in north Louisiana!!

    Welcome from the Big Easy! Nice truck. I wonder if it was a shelter carrier and that is why they routed the pipe to the back?

    Illinois humvee title problem

    Yes, I just referenced that also because if the seller did not disclose the offroad clause, I suspect he also neglected the EUC. I agree the hold harmless is a CYA thing and up to the owner to determine what they are comfortable with in their specific situation. State DMV bureaucrats have way...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    High Back Seat Repair I dropped a part on one of my rear high back seats and ripped the cover. I unbolted the seat from the lid ( commander/ high back seat lids are thicker than the original) . The top cover back has hog rings. The bottom seat cover has round C clips that pinch the cover to the...

    Illinois humvee title problem

    residency is used as a taxation tool. There are exceptions for military and college students typically. Yes, A Vermont plate is a work around but with valid insurance not an issue to the owner. Registering to another person (dad) can bring up liabilities for him in case of a major accident. The...

    High Back Seat Parts

    ISRI referred me to Suburban seats with the same part number and info Kurt supplied. I called them and they had no clue on part number or pricing. They said they would call me back.... Still waiting. Thanks to 86humv's care package, all is good. Pics of seat for reference.

    Do serial numbers ever change?

    I have seen many trailers that could be in this train of thought......

    Illinois humvee title problem

    Just get a Vermont plate and be done with it. It will suck to pay sales tax again but you will have a plated truck.

    Tim, What is the actual time of the parade?

    "Popping" noise in front end

    I would recommend strongly looking at all the ball joints, tie rod sockets. What you are describing is a very worn component that is on the verge of failing and separating causing possibly catastrophic failure. Any tire shop that does alignments such as Goodyear/ Firestone/ etc can do a front...

    Sets of hard doors..

    GL had a tire scrap listing at fort Polk. In the background picture are stacks of basic x doors on pallets. I do think they get pulled and who knows? Never seen any on any GL sales new or used. I think the "kelvar" makes them bad things for us to own as it implies they are armored and the demil...
