Seems to me that I read somewhere that a former officer of a motorpool stated that the M880 did have its draw backs, Mainly minor electrical problems and traction problems in the field due to the tires that were on them when they came from dodge ( all season radials and not a off road traction...
yep, thats when I was there.... dont get me wrong I also liked the show, But just wondering if I missed any M880s on display?
I just cant believe that there is not that many out there. They have got to be one of the easiest and cheepest MVs to restore ( I only got about 4K in mine). and the...
You gotta be joking me....
I went down to Dayton on Saturday and only seen ONE M880 :cry: ( actually a M887 with air force markings )

It is a well known fact that the military did not want the ford or willis name stamped on the back of the jeep, But this was a...
The back spacing on the Humv rims are diffrent than that of the stock rims... although you see many trucks with humve tires on them I have never seen one with the humve rims. the chevy 16in. rims, ( and I suspect the gmc rims also ) will defenatly not fit over the rear hub.
The power on...
I am not sure .... But if I rember right, I did see a picture of the Army painting a tank in a spray booth ( at the depo level getting it ready for the sand box).
They were painting it in desert colors and in CARC. the guy painting it was dressed up in a full chemical suit with A fresh air...
