Hey all, putting a helmet top on mine (Amtech), do I need a C-pillar installation?
I don't have the top yet, but runs in my mind they C pillar is integrated into the top?
Hey all,
Not a lot of experience with HMMWV, but we just acquired an M1036 two man, and it has a hydraulic MileMarker winch onboard.
Of course, no controller, so we bought a black unit from Memphis Equipment... plugged right in with the three prong connector.
SO, we checked the levers, set to...
You have options, but they are quickly going away... EU rules are making it hard to buy units, and move them... especially if they have to ship through Germany.
Cheapest fully tracked armor currently is a BMP variant, or Abbot... moves on from there... these start about 40k.
UK is easy buy and...
Ok, I'll nominate my very rare Russian BRM-1k... built on a BMP-1 chassis, with a BMP-2 turret... only 50 in CZ, and this is one of them... amphibious, fast, radar equipped, and more...
We have MK48 TMs on here, but no HEMTT?
Need parts manual for my M985 tranny (need filter numbers) as well as part numbers for all the other filters...
Operations manual I was able to find, but no filter numbers...
ITAR has nothing to do with BofA's questions. Now when I'm filling out my Form 6 for importation, you bet it does. We have to face facts unfortunately... the age of individuals buying and importing armored vehicles is coming to a close. It is already rapidly closing in Europe, and we won't be...

In early April I wired funds to the UK to pay for shipping of my BRM-1k (a rare BMP-1 variant). This was after the funds for purchase had been wired (which I think...
Getting ready to do fluids on the HEMMTT...
Have Rotella T and/or Valvoline Blue for the engine... forget which...
But what do we need to put in the Tranny due to the wrong use of another fluid?
Mine came out of Texas... reportedly they were using the wrong fluids.
Thanks!
My .02...
Get a loan, buy a used Sportsmobile 4x4... ditch the military vehicle plan... too thirsty, too maintenance intensive.
Get an E350 chassis and mod from there... parts all over the world... get one in 4x4 or do a 4x4 conversion.
After your done they still bring good money properly...
Why would you have to get an oversize permit? The M1070 is tall, but its no wider than regs allow... its 8 foot 5 wide...
I agree with the fuel comment... WOW it would chew you up... and the speed of 45 MPH would make it take forever on the way...
So heard alot about wrong oil... mine just came in, what type of oil is needed?
Also same for the Mk48?
I'll tell you, compared to my like new Mk48/15a1, the HEMTT rides like a dream, and moves around MUCH easier!
