    They dont have slant backs in Yermo. They had some in Georgia.

    They won't accept a title from AZ or SD into CA? So just drive with out of state plates each day?

    Predator Inc, in San Diego perform these Duramax & Allison Tranny swaps as a standard. They are all 6.6L Duramax with 450+ HP and 900 lb ft of torque. H Line Conversions (Johnny Magic) does them so frequently they sell a kit for folks to do them at home. I guess I'm just not sure why youre...

    So should I not look to perform that engine upgrade? Can I upgrade everything in the drive line? If I register it in South Dakota or somewhere and get another DL, there should be no problem driving it in CA correct? I have properties out of the state of CA.

    Hello All, I was fortunate enough to win at the auction and will be the proud owner of a HMMWV. I have a host of questions for all of you experienced HMMWV owners and those who have dealt with GP before. Think of me as your little brother and you looking to provide him with the best advice and...

    Is the M1100 series an overall better vehicle than the previous A2 series?

    Is there a value add in getting the m1100 series? Put another way, are the enhanced springs, brakes, upgraded half shafts (upgraded from 10k to 12k), 150 hp diesel to 190 hp diesel, and or AC worth it? It sounds like they dont result in added reliability.

    Is the M1100 series an overall better vehicle than the previous A2 series?

    Hello All, Is the m1100 series (Extended capacity, ex 1165, 1167, etc.) A better vehicle (more mechanically sound, better overall truck) than the m10000 series (m1045A2) etc. The obvious advantages are onboard AC that comes stock, and allegedly stronger suspension, but I don't know if that...

    Convert the M1165 to a Slant Back

    I assume you mean the pillars to support the roof. I believe that would be the C Pillar (Third cross bar - Last one on the back. Closest to the trunk). Hopefully, I could find a roof without a turret hole cut in it. As for the hardware for the slant back, do you know a price point for that?

    Convert the M1165 to a Slant Back

    Thanks so do I need a different roof on the 1165 to successfully modify it to be a slant back?

    Convert the M1165 to a Slant Back

    Thanks. My concern was that the 1100 series is, I believe, 1 foot longer than the 1045. I didnt know if the slant back would reach the end of the truck or if it would be a few inches short on the back truck gate.

    Convert the M1165 to a Slant Back

    Is it feasible to simply add a slant back roof and pontoons from a M1045A2 or an M1046 and add it to an M1165? Are there any differences in pillars or windshield etc. Will it all align? Is this even worth attempting. Should I simply try to acquire a stock slant back?
