    What wheels are on your humvee?

    Nice set up. Great idea hinging rear bulkhead with what may be armored door hardware. Is it wrong to covet another man’s garage?

    Water in crankcase

    Does this Look like it might be yours?

    HMMWV just delivered. Do I try and start after fresh fuel, oil and filters?

    Hose wrapped in foil looks like air conditioning and heating duct hose. Only say that because mine was left partially connected forward side of firewall.

    If you mean my truck’s auction, here it is. September 8, ’21. Final cost including auction fee and Georgia taxes was $23070. EUC took 4 calendar months. Plenty of time to refine ideas what to do with it!

    All I have done is washed it. There wasn’t even a bug stuck on the radiator. Truck is factory #347XXX. Factory plastic still on trans shifter. Careful photo analysis before auction and I knew this truck would be mine. Only 112 miles and not reset. Absolute original immaculate condition after...

    GOVPLANET/USMC latest EUC times?

    Trailer cost $325 including tax and insurance. I did careful photo analysis and determined Humvee was a good one to buy. This is straying from the “EUC” thread so I’m going to start a thread in the “What have I done to my Humvee today”.

    Yes, that 55 mph sticker is no nonsense with a Humvee on board! Would start weaving at 60! 700 mile trek back to home base.

    Picked mine up at Albany Georgia Monday. Was going to flat-tow it back to NC but instead rented a Uhaul car transporter. Stayed under 55 mph and it rode well. It filled every inch of the trailer!

    I got a quote of $2800 for shipping. Too much for something I can do myself. Would rather spend that money on goodies for the Humvee.

    Same dates for me! Will pick up M1152A1B2FK5 from Albany @8a.m. Monday. Flat towing back to NC.

    Looking for old thread on home made ratcheting tire carrier

    Beautiful craftsmanship! Noticeably higher degree of quality and detailed finishes than ”original”! Thank you for sharing.

    Looking for old thread on home made ratcheting tire carrier

    Glad you have access to a nearby Tractor Supply Store. They have an amazing inventory of hinges, nuts & bolts, pins and just about anything self reliant fabricators like farmers and ranchers and DIY’ers put to good use. They also have 5’x6’x3/4” rubber horse stall mats that are great for bed...

    Looking for old thread on home made ratcheting tire carrier

    Please ask your friend to let you post pictures of the finished project. I would appreciate seeing it, as I’m sure other members would. It would inspire many of us to try our hand at fabrication.

    Looking for old thread on home made ratcheting tire carrier

    The ratcheting screw jack portion of the assembly can be found in the tractor accessories area at Tractor Supply stores. It is a stocked item at every store I have visited. Also a great source for the 3/4” and 1” pins for military tow bars.
