Crazy story...three weeks ago driving into Needles on my way to Yermo to pick up my M998, we saw a big ol tire fly down the off ramp and through the intersection 100 feet in front of us. New-ish pickup grinding to a halt just up the ramp. Noticed this on a lot of the HMMWVs there...

The B pillar is also removable and stows behind the seat.
The US decided to go with the TOW system for our anti-tank HMMWV but some of our step-children may only be trusted with older stuff.

I went with trucklite headlites as I like the look of them.
If I wasnt, I would find some Cibie "E-code" H4 conversion lights. Hella is dot crap nowadays
I used to run hella E-codes that weren't bad, but Cibies throw light better IMO
From what I've read, it seems like the easiest way to ID a four speed machine in somebody's pics is look at the shifter knobs...
