For me it's the cost. I've seen them go for $1,000 or more on fleabay. I got 12k one from hazard freight with an intention of putting it on receiver plate and having ability to move it between front and rear. When not in use, she'll be stored in the truck's bed, over the wheel well -- at least...

What do you mean when you say "commercial winch"? I just got this 12,000lbs one https://m.harborfreight.com/12000-lb-off-road-vehicle-electric-winch-with-automatic-load-holding-brake-61256.html If I can just run it at 24VDC that would be awesome. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Another thought would be to find rubber hose the correct diameter, split it lengthwise and slide it over the metal bar. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I was thinking of using thin pipe insulation. That black foam with peel tape that we're supposed to wrap exposed water pipes in the basement. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

How do you disable the fan?

Why fresh oil and top the tank off? Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

What moron told you that HMMVW is unreliable? It's built like a tank, sans few small concerns on some like grounding issues or wheel hubs coming off. Remember that you'll be looking for 20+ year old vehicle, so maintenance is to be expected. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

How much are you willing to throw at this thing? Do you need a turn key or are you willing to mess with it for few (several) months to get it road worthy? If turn key, are you looking for a 2 or 4 door, open or enclosed, soft or hard top? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I would not trust a guy that's charging you 50 bucks a month. Those things don't leak -- they evaporate. Ask him to install anti-gravity field controller. Don't oversize the unit or your tires will lose traction with the ground! Happy belayed "May the Fourth be with you".

Pictures or no deal.

Far Rockaway you say? I was stationed at Fort Tilden. I lived in Bensonhurst and Bay Ridge before parents bought house in Staten Island. ****, I miss Brooklyn.

Thanks. Call me 505-321-2241 when you have a minute to discuss options. Mario

Nevermind the tractor idea -- just saw that you're in Brooklyn. Where in Brooklyn? I haven't lived there in over a quarter of a century, but may still have a contact or two in mechanic shop.

Use a tractor, forklift or even engine lift. ****, use jack stands and take air out of the tires if you need fine adjustments or even car jack to raise the front a bit.

It is very stable -- a lot more so than Hi-Lift. I've used Hi-Lift for years in my rock crawling days. For me, I never break down (tire flats or other repairs) on flat, semi-level ground. Because of that, the jack that goes under the truck has limited appeal. On HMMWV the shackles that are on...

Thanks.

I can't find a decent source for the radio tray. I'm not getting MIL radio anyway and was going to use the tray to keep CB, chargers, drink holders, tissues, and other crap on it anyway. I can fab one based on pictures I've seen. With that said, are the OEM ones aluminum or steel? What about...

Did you already get one? I looked at those and decided that a hi-lift was much more versatile.

I got mine for $11,100. It runs. Between 60A-->200A upgrade, doors that need replacement, headlights, rear bumper and tire carrier, tires, winch, paperwork, etc. -- I'm pushing $20k. Start thinking about upgrading seats, dome lights, lightbars, etc.; you see where I'm going with this?

I'm still looking for 2 soft doors in like new condition because both front windows are either cracking or are marred up from being folded behind the sloping door support and the black scuff marks are not coming off.
