    proud new owner of an M1079

    Looks great! SUPRMAN in CT has (or had) a few of the new later style grills, if you decide to replace yours.

    I think you have a battery/charging issue.

    Working on the FV1801A or Truck, 1/4 Ton, 4×4, CT, Austin Mk.1 AKA Austin Champ

    What do you think you'll do about the crack if you are not going to rebuild it? JB weld? I have never used it, but I have heard that JB weld will seal it up and it lasts. Maybe others on the list have more experience with it, or other ideas.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I think it would make sense to pressure everyone to help. It is in GP's interest to lobby the states. If guys stop buying their trucks, or bid less, they lose money. If states crack down on HMMWVs, the dealers who sell them will lose money. The guys who bought them, and now have on-road...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Here is the problem. That HMMWV has a high probability of having a washed title. That means, it came out with an off-road use only title, and someone washed it in a title friendly state. Now, you have it. If someone has problems with THEIR state...their state rejects the title you gave them...

    Wis. Half-Track Legislation

    I'm moving to Wisconsin! Seriously, though, I have friends in Wisconsin, and I have often thought of moving there. But, my wife says its too cold!

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I would steer clear of purchasing a HMMWV until this issue has been decided. I believe the flood of HMMWVs that have come out with "off-road use only" titles has raised red flags with DMVs across the country. Now, they are starting to take steps to prevent them from being used on the road, and...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Has anyone contacted the MVPA? They are a fairly large organization, and they would have to have lobbyists and lawyers.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Thank you for your efforts! Are you a lawyer? I may have missed that. If not, I suggest you hire one. Perhaps, you should start a go-fund-me site...or ask for donations on this site. I believe that is allowed. I'd donate money toward the legal fees.

    Anyone have experience with John Johnson Company?

    Double check with them. I was told in the past that GMA would not sell HMMWV doors. Tops...yes. Doors...no. I realize GMA is not JJ or Breton, but you should double check that first. Of course, things could have changed.

    Anyone have experience with John Johnson Company?

    I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Breton. As I said, I contacted them to buy a cover. They just did not have any in stock and weren't about to build just one. They told me I could either wait until the military bought more such tops, or I could order 45 (yes, 45!). The cargo cover kit I was...

    Anyone have experience with John Johnson Company?

    I bought a cargo cover from John Johnson years ago; they were easy to work with, although I liked GMA better (unfortunately, GMA is out of business). I called Breton once, too, but was told they would only sell what they had on hand or if they could add your item onto a military run. If you...

    Need help hooking up a trolley brake in an M809 series

    SIMP's video is on YouTube. I'd recommend you subscribe to his channel; lots of good videos.

    I need a good source for dash screws & other fasteners

    I have purchased new screws at some point, probably from Memphis. There are probably other places that have them. I also have removed them and used a bench grinder with a wire brush wheel to clean them up. They cleaned up very nicely. That could be a thought until you buy the new screws.

    Won't start after gel up.

    I suggest some Power Service Diesel 911 (along the lines of what Daybreak recommended). Change the filters and go half and half (half 911 and half fuel) in the filter...then add the appropriate amount to your tank. The instructions are on the bottle.

    Does a civilian version of the 1979 AM General M917 8x6 Dump Truck exist?

    I can't respond for Germany regarding your laws, but they are street legal in the U.S. They basically are commercial trucks that the military bought with some military-specific hardware.
