I was going to say the same thing...Group 31s in a CUCV work well...and they will be cheaper. I bought mine at Tractor Supply a while back.

Beautiful truck. I think the M813s are more rare than the M813A1s (with drop side bed), right?

Personally, I vote for you to keep it original...or at least how it came to you...but, it is yours to do as you wish! I think the truck could be rare given that the bed looks like it was originally built like that to accommodate the 1100 singles. It looks to me like the cargo beds on the older...

I want to second the suggestion to get Wes to haul your truck. He recently hauled a truck for me, and I was very happy. He is a great guy to deal with. He will always be my first call on vehicle recoveries moving forward. Recoveries are exciting, but not always in a good way. Better to get...

I think he may be referring to the Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA)...national organization representing military vehicle owners and enthusiasts.

That law (or at least the blurb posted) only seems to cover HMMWVs, aside from the last part about "currently registered." What about M939, FMTV, or other vehicles that are purchased in the future?

I know those trailers well...I have one sitting in my garage.

What did you pay? That is important when deciding what to do. If you got it cheap enough, then anything is possible. If you paid close to retail, then, fix it as best as you can and enjoy it. That's why I am asking.

Understand that many of them came out with off-road only titles. Then, many of those titles were washed in title friendly states. That may or may not be a problem in your state now or in the future. Personally, I can't understand why the HMMWVs were targeted for off-road use only designation...

Carefully check that the relays are in the right spots. I got an M1078 recently where relays were moved around (24V relays in 12V spots and vice versa). I suspect that someone tried to sabotage my truck since it was listed as "would not start" and yet it was a recently rebuilt truck. I find...

I agree with you on everything you said. I, too, have wanted one, but resisted the urge because of the off-road use only thing. I also agree that there should be a path to being able to title the HMMWVs for on-road use. I actually don't see why they wouldn't be able to tag them legally. The...

Regarding the federal government's decision to sell HMMWVs, many (most) of those same trucks were sold with off-road use only stipulations.

The door hinges were changed on the A1s, but I don't recall what year. The A1s have additional grab handles on the outside of the cab, which are nice. The A1s (at least my 2007...not sure what year they started it) have different bumpers.

Get it home and take stock of what you've got. Even if you need a transmission, it is not the end of the world with what you have in the truck! Good luck!

CUCVFAN on this list has some crank up landing legs that are NOS. I don't recall what he was asking...but I remember that he offered a reduced SteelSoldiers price. His landing leg comes with a new handle, too. I have one and I love it.

Wow, 350 HP?! My A1 with a 2007 C7 Cat is marked for 330 HP.

AL CAPONE, there is another thread on this already. I suggest you check it out because it lists quite a few guys in LA that have already mentioned being affected. They could possibly be a part of what you are coordinating. Good luck!

Man, I want an arctic heater like that...BADLY! :)

I am not trying to be a smart a$$, but do a search because someone posted a PowerPoint once that detailed what they do. It's not much. They basically pretty up the truck. On more rare occasions, they replace major components (e.g., engine, transmission, t-case). This was the exception, not...

Given that the listing says "could not be started" as NDT pointed out, I would suggest you find someone local to haul it out and get it going. Either way...if you drive it or have it hauled...it will be easier and cheaper once it gets to the port if it is a runner. I have had a truck shipped...
