An old brake fluid article of mine: Brake Fluid DOT Grades DOT3 DOT3 brake fluid is the "conventional" brake fluid used in most vehicles. Advantages: DOT3 fluid is inexpensive, and available at most gas stations, department stores, and any auto parts store. Disadvantages: DOT3 fluid eats...

Don't recall where I got mine but these look really nice. Mark Battery terminal protectors

Yeah that pic is not my HMMWV but you can set up the batteries up properly without issue. Below is my truck. You can see the tape as an attempt to cut down on the creaking sounds which in these trucks us an effort in futility. Mark

They have spacers made for this swap to go from the 6TL to the Optimas. I run the red tops (like the ones below) in my 91 M998. Mark

They are very different latches so I would say no. Mark

The soft tops always looked more manly to me. Just my .02 cents. Mark

The pressure info and what load range the tires are are needed to help you choose the correct road pressure.

Welcome to the green metal psychosis. Mark

Look again as it will have pressure info on the sidewall.

I meant what brand? Goodyear MTs, BFGoodrich or Goodyear MTRs.

What tires do you have and what shape are they in? As I said I personally would try 40psi for your truck. Mark

These look good. Mark Fabric marine 1/2" shock cord

One thing I ran into is I had a really slow leak in one of my tires and would not notice it looking at it until it was down to about 10psi. Not good so I purchased the little tire valve caps that show green at 50lbs and above and red at about 45lbs. Tgey come in all kinds of pressures. Great...

If you put them at full pressure on a lighter truck than the HMMWV you will have a rough ride and wear out the tire tread center a bit faster For that truck I would try 40psi and see how she does. I run 50psi on my M998 as it smooths out the vibrations on the highway (need to have the tires...

My 91 M998 refit in 2008 has a GM 6.5 NA , Three speed and the NP 242. Mark

Actually I prefer the fabric covered rubber shock cord as it helps keep the UV light at bay. Have had it as tie downs on my trailer for like six years now with no issues. Just my .02 cents. Mark

The problem with DOT 5 is it does not absorb water so if it's old and the system has collected water it naturally flows to the lowest point in the system and rots out the lines in that spot.

DOT 5.1 is NOT a silicone brake fluid. Dot 5 is. DOT 3,4 and 5.1 are all glycol-based fluids with the major differences is the boiling point.

They sell shock cord in all kinds of sizes. I used 1/2" shock cord on my M101A2 to go from bow to bow under tension to keep the cargo cover from sagging between the bows. Worked great. I also used it for the cover tie downs. Below was my first attempt but unfortunately the rope would sag from...

Yes very nice trailer.
