Got this for such occasions. Fits between the tires and rolls out almost the entire length. A luxury maybe, but I've had to crawl under in the mud before too.

I used a 1/2" 10 to 6 adapter plate that I found on evil bay. The 10 bolt pattern was 10x335mm, the same pattern also used by MRAP's I believe.

My wheels never came close to my exhaust. I sold my 10 wheel set about a year ago. I originally got them from Ft. Lewis. Look for govplanet military auctions. Mine came with Michelin XL's on them.

For what it's worth, some super singles (Michelin) are designed to be used with inner tubes. Also, though I never tried it with power steering, the M1076 wheel, which I used for 395's has a 0 offset and didn't rub when turning.

See attached flyer. I've brought my M35A2 in the past and have encouraged other military vehicle owners to bring their vehicles, especially those from the Vietnam era.

I can do searches on the web, people pay me to do this. Also, any place that says "inquire within" I probably can't afford. I came here looking for real world experiences. FLIR M500 Ultra High Performance Multi-Sensor Camera System (oemcameras.com) Just under $200k.

My go to when searching for vehicles is what's used on boats. More tech is designed for boats than off-road, it seems. And boats experience rough conditions, as rough as any off-road with bad weather conditions and salt water thrown in for extra fun. This will be my passenger, most of the time.

The reason I am considering FLIR is because it, supposedly, does well in foliage, dust, fog, snow, etc. I mean, if some other type of IR tech does as well in those conditions, that could work too. Generally, if driving conditions are bad, you don't drive. However, there sometimes comes a time...

So, I did a search but there wasn't much there. Has anyone driven with FLIR? How fast or slow is recommended? Articles written by manufacturers are self serving. Would vehicle mounted be better than wearing a personal device? I await the first post saying I don't need this.

Did it once, as a kid with my father in a mosquito plagued stream in Maryland. But, no, nothing serious. And I don't expect to do anything serious this time either.

Just regular insurance. This won't be a daily driver, but I plan on taking it to pick up lumber/drywall, etc, and go offroad. I want liability and I'm also concerned about theft - someone could easily confuse it with something worth money. I will try that number on Monday (5/1). I have found...

So, my state won't license a humvee for the road. Doing a little research, I found that many people register vehicles in Montana under a company they create. Most, probably 99.999% do this to avoid taxes as Montana has no vehicle tax. I bought my humvee in the state I live and already paid...

*blows the dust off the thread* So, my project has been slowly progressing. Earlier in this thread I brought up door locks. Had those installed a couple years ago. Of course these locks can only be opened from the outside, but they can't be closed without the key. So, no one can come...

To be honest, it's hardly been driven since the swap. Been having a whole lot of other work being done, mostly to the cab. If fuel mileage is a concern, you may want to add at least 1 set of lockout hubs. Some people put a set on one of the rear axles as well as the front, I only did the...

I took out a chain link fence post. Didn't notice until I got out. Well, a Cummins 6 BT might about double your HP and torque, depending on which version of engine you get. Jeepsinker (Tactical Repair on YouTube) has videos about the conversion. I did an engine swap, you can see it here...

This is also why I made the switch. My engine bay is awfully crowded. I had the work professionally done, and they welded a reducer at one point. You can see pics of the finished product here. That butterfly valve didn't survive my engine swap sadly. You can see those pics here, and how...

Do you have near unlimited funds for your wish list? Maybe consider an engine swap, but keep the original transmission. I agree with others to stay 6x6 and keep in mind that some dually set ups have more rubber on the ground than super singles. For instance, your 395's or 15.5" compared to...

So...to answer my own question, I contacted one of the Montana county DMV's...which put me on hold for 10 min, then a recording told me they were too busy, to call back another time, and hung up on me. Then I decided to look up the law code which states to check the manufacturer's stated...

Found a good video on a sliding bed frame that a guy made for his Sprinter van. My bed frame area is that dash/dot line at the bottom of the pic in post #2. The blue line is the halfway point and where I will collapse the bed to. This bed is almost the size of a queen, and collapsed will free...

I get what you're saying, but legality doesn't aways make sense. At one point in time (1893) the US legally classified the tomato as a vegetable. If car manufacturers set the standard and the government accepts it then there it is. I just don't know if Montana accepts it. The links I posted...
