    Drilling through rear airlift bumper to mount license plate?

    Does this seem like a bad idea? Putting two 1/4” holes 6” apart in the airflift bumper top surface to mount a license plate holder on the left side of the vehicle (clear of the Rhino spare tire mount). The no-drill plate holder by Federal Military Parts doesn’t look like it fits the side of...

    M1101/2 and a snowmobile?

    Wondering if anyone has used an M1101 or M1102 to transport a snowmobile or two. The dimensions look a little short on length, but possible. Has anyone done this who can share experiences or especially photos? I'd appreciate some ideas. Thanks

How very...

    (newbie question, so flame on if you must) Any tips on how to assemble a hatch and turret setup these days? It looks like the parts are getting very very scarce. I have looked at the TM on what I need and can find nearly none of those parts that I need for sale. I’m only looking for a simple...

    Soon to be M1165A1 owner here
