    Check how your tires are mounted

    They are actually asymmetrical more so than directional. I guess I stand corrected you can mount either way if you choose. However I feel any asymmetrical tire should be ran with pattern in same direction for the best wear and performance.

    Check how your tires are mounted

    Be sure you check how your tires are mounted. Mine were on backwards. The Goodyears are directional tires and go a certain way. The pictures shown are WRONG. The tread pattern is supposed to go in the opposite direction. Running them like this can damage the tire by breaking belts in the...

    CARC Sub over faded CARC

    For those wondering about using Rapco CARC Sub over faded CARC I did it over the weekend with great results. Only real prep I did was a good cleaning. I did not want to sand on the CARC and at this point don't see the need if your surface is nice but just faded. I just freehand it and...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Added rear view mirror. Bought off Amazon for a golf cart. This thing makes it so much better seeing what is behind and around you. It helps with the dreaded passenger mirror issue. Also added o-shit handles and an interior light. All off of Amazon on the cheap.

    Some lights work, other do not

    Mine was like this with some lights working and some not. It ended up being grounding points at the lights. They were rusted and not making good ground.

    The transformation of the 998

    I thought that was what you were referring to. It also had a crappy mismatched grille I assume they half-ass threw on there during the de-milling after taking off the armored one. Not sure about the shocks and "other parts" you are referring to. What do I need to look for?

    Ok, educate me. What makes it seem it was armored?

    The transformation of the 998

    Some of you may remember me asking some questions. Well I bought the 998 and already made some changes. Mostly just clean up, oil change, CARC Sub paint, LED running lights, cup holders, center console thingy, new decals, keyed fuel shutoff,new seat pads and a few other odds and ends. Here are...

    Changes to NC Titling/Registration Laws

    Ok guys here is my recent experience in NC getting a title done. I found a 1988 M998 that an individual from NC bought in 2017 and never titled it. He got it a Gov Planet with an SF97 (stamped off-road) He had the reassignment papers from the auction company and that is it. I did up a Bill Of...

    Oxidized chalky CARC

    My issue with that is the smell and possibly causing problems with a future paint job. I really don't want to be sanding on the CARC so would want to be able to just spray on top of the CARC with a rattle can after a good cleaning and denatured alcohol. Afraid the WD-40 would cause the rattle...

    Oxidized chalky CARC

    Has anyone ever tried some rattle can clear coat over chalky CARC? I know on faded regular paint it will give it a nice sheen and not look chalky.

    I appreciate all advice given. Thanks

    M998 Brake Issues

    Again, I never asked for an "appraisal" value, or if I was getting a good deal. I was responding to him giving his input on what he thought the value was. If I wanted an appraisal I would have put it in a separate thread not in my thread asking about brakes.

    M998 Brake Issues

    Actually I NEVER asked that question. People decided to chime in and give their advice. LOL

    M998 Brake Issues

    Here are just a few examples. Keep in mind some of these are "modded" and mods IMO are subjective as to the value it adds or takes away. I myself prefer one that is original and not molested with aftermarket parts, wheels, seats, etc so for me as a buyer that would not add any value and would...

    M998 Brake Issues

    Like I said I have looked at completed auctions on Ebay, old listings on the internet, current listings, etc. So, can you show me some like this one in that $12 price range? Like I said maybe I am missing something.
