Wouldn't it have to meet all the current EPA regulations? Its a shame, I like the turbo diesel Toyota HiLux but No Joy on those either. An M715 with a turbo diesel engine! Wonder if a GEP 6.5l Turbo would fit under the hood?
Its amazing that truck had the same 1 1/4ton rating as the A0 HMMWV.
welcome to the party, pal!
CARC, just because it has CARC paint doesn't mean it has been through a factory thorough overall. We had our active duty vehicles repainted by Post Support BN or the civilian maintenance shop every couple or three years. The Vehicle should have a rebuild/overhaul...
Here's my original 1995-mfg M1025A2 GMV showing the frame front without the electric Warn Series 9 winch, frame extensions or winch/bumper plate, you can see the squarish tube bottom angled brackets.
NATO Camo 1987 A0 Truck shows the frame extensions installed but with a civilian skid/winch...
OIF1-5 there was a lot of improvisation arming and hillbilly armoring all sorts of HMMWVs for convoy escort duties, using issue M6 later M7 Weapons Mounts as well as Bn HHC Maintenance mfg mounts with and without chicken shields.
WD40 isn't water based, it is a Water Displacer, many use it during the parkerizing process, sprayed on the steel part after it is pulled from the acid solution and rinsed, the WD40 raises any water to the surface and whatever petroleum distillate in it prevents the steel from rusting.

Anybody have any smaller crate items shipped out of LEAD? I was looking at an item but its in a huge unneccessary crate that puts it oversize for UPS and all that wood adds wasted weight.
Every week we get reports of Illegal aliens driving drunk, killing and maiming American Citizens, but this is the nationwide effort under the bold-faced lie of "highway safety"
Installed two antenna mounts (86HMMWV's custom cut internal backer plates were perfect fit) on the wheelhouses per the TM, started working on converting an A0 M1025 windshield frame for the two-point side mirrors, removing the lolipop mirror bases for a Navigator/TC External A Pillar GPMG Pintle...
That's some nice work! I can imagine how much time you put into all that, I was just thinking about something to prevent burning my right calf on the transmission tunnel while driving wearing shorts. Turning the inside of your HMMWV into a padded cell! Nice! :razz:
The problem is, their original claim Mil Veh are not up to standards is being deceptive. By their statement you would think mil veh are not safe to drive on public roads or autobahns, but vehicles that are designed and built to serve during WAR are built to a higher standard, just lacking the...
Proof again to never use "feel good" parts designed by high school kids in a combat vehicle. Just like DOD mandated by law to use X amount of alternative fuels even if they cost 20x what petroleum based do, not even considering the costs to get one gallon into Afghanistan.
They are wasting time, Sept 30 is coming quickly.
Lionel, I've made a few sets of seat cushion covers for the Ballistic Products Kevlar bucket seats, the above I made in 1000d Multicam for a friend.
I also have two each 3x7.62 12x50BMG GMV Ammo Can racks to horse-trade. Probably an earlier...
Waiting on seller to give me the tag #s still present on that sub bundle so I can determine just how much needs spliced on and where they go. I'm about ready to just pull the trigger on it, then worry about splicing it when it gets here. I let Kevin drive it around about an hour after we...
The buyer stopped by yesterday to test drive it again, and we found the electrical problem by accident. After I had checked the voltage on the starter switch I guess I crossed the two hot Packard connectors. Kevin was under the battery box tracing the sub harness assembly of black nylon mesh...
