    A and B pillar reinforcement for armored doors?

    there are numerous armored door types, up until the later doors did they all use the same hinge bolt pattern. Most doors are flat to allow for the perimeter armor, early stuff had the contour like regular x-doors but were different hinges and bolt patterns, so you can’t use the current issue...

    Source for this decal?

    correct, as is most of the parts for an H1, as your aware, they ceased production in 2006…The truck from the factory actually uses an inscribed plastic plate with adhesive on it, like a badge. you could definitely just get some made up that way.

    Bummer MV accident

    Excessive speed is the main cause of most rolling stock Military vehicle accidents, and this is why I cringe at folks who buy these trucks with zero experience and want to make the trip home at 80mph.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    That’s how your supposed to set the ebrake…foot on brake pedal first. You have collapsed the caliper piston via hydraulic pressure, not doing mean you get to do it manually and that takes a bit more doing.

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    Vermont Does not issue titles on vehicles over 15yrs old…or at least didn’t, but to get a title, it needs to be Vin Verified in Vermont I believe, don’t quote me on that though.

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    Oregon had to pass a Law…HMMWV‘s are issued basically Historical Plates.

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    Also, I believe Vermont is no longer registering hmmwv’s, they rejected my last with a letter stating they no longer will issue registration on them. Previously I had done many…

    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    Making it off hwy only does not render the hmmwv worthless…. And I’m sorry, I’m in agreement that if the FMV is NOT in its original configuration, it should not classify as historical.

    What's the difference with the ECV Humvees & Regular Humvees (M1123)

    when the GP guy is filming the supposed blowby From the oil filler tube on a cold day, it’s actually condensation and not blow by. I’ve checked all the trucks I’ve ever purchased and I can’t remember any. A little blow by is no big deal. I had a few customer trucks with mild blow by, motors ran...

    CA register a Humvee Street Legal in California

    Again, say what you want, I lived it and still do…I’ve spent hundreds of hours on the phone. The folks at DMV and CARB DO NOT CARE ABOUT LAWS…PERIOD. In the words of a CARB senior manager…”Calif does not and has never allowed ex-militray vehicle on the road” that is a direct quote. The other is...

    CA register a Humvee Street Legal in California

    good luck…they don’t care, it’s not just this, but you are fighting CARB…a complete Nazi organizatio. I tried for a year with a state representative to just talk with a low level aid at DMV In Sacramento.
