    I still might paint the wheels green. This is Rapco paint everywhere except airlift bumper.

    24 bolt tire / wheel - Rim - change out only

    Im not sure if 24 is different from 12 but if they are the same you should not have any problems. You might need a oring if the one you have cannot be reused. The hard part is removing the runflat from tire but you aren't doing that.

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    When you get finished with this setup I would be interested in a 24v helper fan that bolts directly on top of a portion of stack that has barriers between the radiators to keep forcing air thru both radiators and also a thermostat to turn it on. it might run all the time in summer. Keep the...

    Buying HMMWV from law enforcement agency

    I spoke to another person in the surplus area. LEA can buy under different terms. Some can be purchased that will always have to be returned. Some can be purchased with a 18 month hold and then the agency can do as they please. They can also apply for a permit to cannibalize a vehicle. Once...

    Buying HMMWV from law enforcement agency

    I called the Defense Logistics Agency. Yes the vehicle has to go back. The question I couldn't get answered is: What condition can it go back in? The vehicle is inop. Could they return a bare frame? Let's imagine a scenario. Assume a law enforcement agency buys 10 M998. Over the course of use 1...

    Buying HMMWV from law enforcement agency

    A law enforcement agency that I am familiar with has a Humvee with a bad engine. It has been parked for several years. I inquired and was told that the vehicle would have to go back to the government or would have to go to the scrap yard they weren't exactly sure. Is anyone familiar with the...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    I apologize for hijacking the gentlemen's thread. He is offering a solution that would do away with the numerous potential failure points in the hydraulic system. I get that. As far as horsepower goes you are never going to get more horsepower out of the engine than what it is producing. The...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    But thinking a little more about it. The fan in the article is 2500cfm/20ish amps. If the humvee cooling fan is 10,000cfm easy math says the electric fan will need to run 4 minutes to do the work of one minute for the belt driven fan. In my area with typical summer weather, me running flat...

    Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

    I'm waiting on my second case of new paint to be delivered so I can finish repainting. I wasn't sure but had a similar feeling when I started spraying the other day. The differently labeled paint didn't seem as flat as the cans that have "touch up" on the label. I only had one or 2 of the touch...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    When you say 1000 sale price. Does that include what you have pictured(radiator, shroud and fan) plus the wiring, switches, etc? I would be interested if there was a 24v fan that could be added either under or over the factory radiator that could run on a thermostat to "reduce" the amount of fan...

    Painting m998

    I'm in the process of painting my M998 camo with Rapco paint. I initially ordered 6 green, 3 black, 3 brown. So far used 5 green all black and less than half can of brown. I have basically put 3 coats on so far. I reordered 6 green, 4 black 2 brown. I also have touch-up and camo color aligning...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Just thinking out loud, I don't understand how a run flat / double beadlock could be loose enough to move around but still tight enough to keep the tires from coming off the bead when used at low pressure.

    If the performance is half as good as the build it should be very impressive
