    HMMWV retrieval suggestions

    Well you sure told me. :shrugs: I'll be sure to bow before you and your vast experience with U-Haul tow trailers. :|

    HMMWV retrieval suggestions

    Joel - I have no doubt that you can squeeze one onto a U-Haul trailer. I'm just saying be careful when using absolutes like "always" and it still doesn't mean the U-Haul car trailers are the most appropriate choice for these vehicles.

    HMMWV retrieval suggestions

    Always, huh? I can assure you it very much won't "always" fit. With the Goodyears I'd say it barely fits based on my last haul. My first one had BFG Baja's on it and it definitely did not fit like it was supposed to. If it was a matter of always adequately fitting, I suppose there'd be a good...

    Tonka - where are you picking it up from?

    Wheels Types

    The number of bolts that hold the wheel halves together.:mrgreen: It's mainly the amount of pressure you can put in the tire.

    Soft tops

    Search for "Humvee" and it's one of 3 items they offer specific to that search term. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/new-us-military-issue-humvee-cover?a=1850746 They offer it in green, which is the M1035 ambulance top pictured that extends from the windshield to the very rear and...

    Taking my Wagon top and putting a truck hard top or soft top on?

    Just to confirm what you're asking, you have a Hummer H1 wagon (hard top from windshield to very back) and want to know how to turn it into a configuration similar to the mil trucks?

    Soft tops

    If you need the top only (without bows), Sportsmans Guide is selling new tops for $100 with a choice of a green M1035 ambulance top (full top to the rear) or the standard camo top with exposed rear.

    Anyone done a recovery from Camp Ripley (Little Falls, MN) recently?

    I know that people have towed their newly acquired trucks home via U-Haul trailers and while some will say that it "barely" fits, I would say that it's not the best idea. I did it myself and wouldn't do it again. The 7000# rated trailer is the gross weight and it says that the max vehicle weight...

    Official 2015 Ga. Rally buy/sell/trade thread

    Painting a M998

    I Google'd "soda blast carc" and it gave me a number of results-with several results pointing to here and on the G. It appears the results say that it either works marginally well, or not very good at all.

    Painting a M998

    Just curious, but have you tried just hitting it hard with a pressure washer? It'll certainly knock loose paint off and should do so without affecting what's adhered good.

    Slant back top installation paperwork

    I hate being "that guy" that responds by telling you to check the TM, but I seem to be having issues posting screek shots of the pages. All of the info is located in 9-2320-280-34 in chapter 14 - "Special Purpose Bodies". This is located for free download here on the website.

    2 piece wheels

    Just curious, but why don't you leave them as is? They're easy enough to work with without having to pay someone to do it for you.

    Tips to short list HMMWVs up for auction on Gov Planet

    I'm writing this as a newbie myself to the whole auction process. I've had other mil vehicles in the past, but they've all be private purchase. I think to be armed with knowledge beforehand will save you grief down the road so I've answered your questions as well as added my .02 cents in...

    My Euc cleared :) in record time and no notification from GP

    Mike- same thing happened to me. I went to my account on govplanet when I was approaching the 60 day mark since auction. It turns out that it cleared the day before - I actually called CS to confirm what I was seeing. I never did get an email with confirmation - I think it just pays to be...

    92 - M1038 Ignition Issue - Suggestions

    Gents - I've been flipping through the TM's and have found that the information is great, but it's not exactly helping me out with diagnosing my particular problem. So I'm hoping that I can get some input from you before going on a wild goose chase and throwing money at parts that might not...

    What Is The WIDTH Outside Tire to Outside Tire of a HMMWV??

    The demil code for vehicles considered to be armament carriers prevents them from being auctioned. A DRMO friend I have told me that he keeps them to the side of his lot and they're eventually picked up for destruction in Anniston, AL. So how many Armament carriers versus non-armament? I don't...
