    What hard top is that? Different than the ones I’ve seen on the 1165

    REV truck?

    Do you know about the ones that are sub 258xxx? Some are 250xxx and saw one that’s 249xxx. They are 1165s but I thought the ECV all started at 258xxx so maybe there’s slight differences?

    REV truck?

    Similar one next week. 250xxx vin and missing engine parts like that last one. https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Humvees-2007-AM-General-M1165A1-HMMWV-4-Door-Hard-Top-w%2FSlant-Back-California/3325471?h=5000,c%7C3468,md%7CM1165A1%7CGMT-400,sm%7C0,mf%7C1&pnLink=yes

    REV truck?

    I’m a novice, but the value of these trucks seems all over the map. I haven’t noticed much of a pattern as to why yet. I’m guessing that one above went so low bc of the VIN? This one seemed in way worse shape, started at 1500, but went higher: https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/3815226...

    REV truck?

    What’s the differences with some of the ECV models that are pre 258xxx serial range. ???? like this 1165 which went fairly cheap. It’s a 250xxx. https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/3534078

    Wheel and tire questions

    So help me out: a 9” wide wheel with 6mm offset would have roughly a 4.75” backspacing? a 9.5” wide wheel with 6mm offset would have roughly a 5”” backspacing? And a 9.5” wide wheel with 12mm offset would have roughly a 5.5” backspacing? none seem that close to stock really.

    Wheel and tire questions

    Yea So offset on the stock rim is what +50?! When looking for aftermarket wheels is it best to try and keep a 7” backspacing or 50 offset!? ps Rimzoneonline.com has a great search feature for finding wheels with varies offsets and sizes

    Huh. got any pics of them both? I thought you needed something like -50 to stay close to stock. 7” of backspacing. found this deal online tho, seems like a real low price. Anyone heard of these tires before?

    Wheel and tire questions

    I’ve read a lot of contradicting opinions on the stock 2 piece wheels. Some say they ride terrible others they are fine. What gives? If they are balanced why wouldn’t they ride smooth? they definitely limit tire options. I am interested in 40s and can only find one tire that a 16.5”...

    TN used to be like that, by county, but recently the State did away with that law so now there’s none. In NY they test everyone but I’m not sure if their cutoff.

    I know this is an old thread but your point about emissions testing is a good one. does anyone know when this testing started nation wide? Aka- what year humvees would be exempt in all 50 states? in 1998/1999 Cummins went to the VE pump on the 5.9 to comply with stricter emissions. I think...
