    Price for HMMWV with title

    If you want to sell it for over $15K, closer to the 20 range, I'd say put in new matching high-back seats, and canvas. Touch up the paint and fix the hood corner. advertise it as a Never "off-road title" truck, and ensure the history goes with it. Otherwise. Good luck either way.

    Using my SEE for real work

    Hahahah! Video games do make eye-hand coordination much better.

    I can do it and get it to Fastenal. I'm not on TDY for the next few weeks (thankfully).

    15" wheels on M880 ?

    I'd be more concerned about the rear axle housing than the calipers... easiest thing to do, since he's local... is try.

    Auction of RSOVs?

    I doubt it, I imagine they are under some different DRMO/DLA code. If you find an NSN for them, I'll attempt to check.

    Engine Color HMMWV

    I've never seen a blue one. Including the HMMWVs we received from rebuild/upgrades. every engine has been a crappy flat black/dark grey.

    Auction of RSOVs?

    RSOVs... as in the Land Rover based vehicles? or are you referring to the GMVs, the SF modified HMMWVs?

    Issues with SF-97

    Savpeter, have you worked for the government?! The HEMMT thing was a change, they had HEMMTs for sale, sold some, EUCs complete and delivered, and then a few weeks ago the DoD awarded a rebuild contract and suddenly stopped sales of the HEMMTs. including the ones in-process that money has...

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    I debated doing this with my M880 and some HEMMT seats I picked up... now this is going to make me think even harder!

    Need a CARC paint shop in Colorado

    Find the Behr paint threads, there's a few of them (and yes I know the Search on here isn't the best). Most of us have just used the Harbor Freight or similar paint sprayer, mix in some water or flowtrol or something to thin the Behr out, and just spray. Mine created a very nice, CARC feeling...

    Need a CARC paint shop in Colorado

    There's a good reason, the stuff is hazardous to your health! Seriously, if you are sanding or blasting it, you need a contained breathing apparatus to avoid inhalation. Do you HAVE to use CARC? A lot of us have had good luck with Behr or other paint that matches the original, but isn't...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    I liked the spray that we did. It gave it a "CARC" feeling of a tad of roughness.

    Unauthorized Google photo gets the left-handed salute

    Public street. No reasonable expectation of privacy. Instead of being an ambassador to the hobby and waiving to the car, you're not, and flipping it off.

    faux 890. Am I nuts?

    They were selectively installed, and mainly only on the 24V radio trucks. I'd say skip the BO system (mine doesn't have it and I don't intend on installing it as of right now). but throw the pintle on and paint it up.

    NC - Spring Lake - Vietnam Memorial Dedication - 4 JUL 2016

    All, I'm hoping that I can find one or two vehicles available to be or be brought in for the 4th of July 2016, to Spring Lake, NC. The Town is looking at dedicating a memorial to the Vietnam veterans from the town. This isn't solid yet (waiting to find out from Town Manager who is talking to...

    Paint Tips for Cat D4

    As far as your paint goes... I don't think Behr is your best choice. I agree that you need to look at something heavier duty. It's my understanding that Midwest Military bought TM9 Ordnance paint (is that still correct?) I would check with them as he does a heavier duty paint, to include a 2...
