    How to get into Military Jeeps

    I have been looking for about 4 months and have an add in the wanted section here and G503. My budget is exactly twice yours 10 to 12 K and I have not found one yet. You could buy an old CJ for your money that would run and not need too much work but I do not think you will find a Military...

    M38 cdn f100574

    Just picked up this toy. Got it in AZ its not bad some rust but fairly clean everything but the gas gage works. Its now 12VT but I will see what I can do to fix that. The tool box floor is the only real bad rust spot I will need to fix that. I got a full canvas with it and a couple of extra side...

    Rare find I think>Military Honda from Ft. Knox/ or Fort Cambell Kentucky.

    I think the extra brake lever you are referring too is a Decompression lever. If you hold it in when you kick start the bike it will turn over easier.

    Bombardier MLVW , anyone know these beasts ?

    They are worth money, just harder to get parts for and most have the Not legal for on road use or for Off road use only clause that could cause you a lot of trouble if you ever had an accident with one. In some ways they are superior to other trucks but its the parts supply and the off road use...

    Bombardier MLVW , anyone know these beasts ?

    Its an M35 built under licence by Bombardier in Canada. The Canadian Govt. will not let these be licensed for on road use if they are sold by Crown Assets Disposal. The truck has a lot of parts that are proprietary and hard to find. There was no bidding the contract was just given to Bombardier...

    Exodus Expeditionary Trucks (M1086 MTV, WRanger MTV 13, 97 Rialta V15)

    Be careful making your gas tank inaccessible to thieves. Around here if they cannot get in through the cap they use a portable drill to punch a hole in the tank and drain it that way. It is much harder to fix that than refill a tank. And the local authorities take their side when you call an...

    Anyone added a "Mojave" heater to their Humvee ?

    I installed another heater very close to what you are doing in the back of a unit I had a few years ago. It made a big difference to the heat in the unit. I also used a step down transformer 24V to 12V and it worked very well. Watch how you run your wireing and water lines. Good luck in your...

    Mild Power Adders

    The cheapest and easiest way to feel slightly more power in your unit would be to put smaller tires on it. Not narrower but shorter. That will lower your ground clearance slightly and in effect give you a lower gear ratio. A couple of inches shorter tire would give you an effect you could feel.
