    UPDATED: ORV title correction and VIN registration in Louisiana

    Vin stencil is a lifetime plate btw and will save you $. The old requirement for vin stencil starting with Q is no longer necessary; just the numbers. I believe the classic military plate has to be renewed. Only special plates in Baton Rouge can do a Vin Stencil. Local dmv can not. Local can...

I have a custom non stock wheel chock bracket next to the jerry can bracket infront of the pioneer rack. Will try to post a picture...

    Humvee cooling issue

    If you had blow by into the water, you would overheat quickly even idling from my rebuilt engine sales rep days in another lifetime..... You would also have bubbles with the cap off watching the circulation.

    Pioneer rack mounting spot

    the hmmwv tools are the same and you can use those on the 5 ton rack pictured earlier. It is the same as the deuce and many others. The hmmwv have a bracket underneath the rear differential and clips to the frame so not likely to adapt easily. Many on here have also mounted the rectangular...

    Can you give more detail? Do you have a sf97 or is it titled in another state?

    I think you would be better served with the heater in the freeze out plug hole than the inline tank, imho

    La has a vin stencil law and a military plate law. Easy peasy more than most states. All done in Baton Rouge at the special and prestige plate unit.

    Mix and match tires

    I forgot to mention to make sure the holes for lugs are beveled on back of rim to flip them to use on rear. Some fmtv rims are only beveled on front. I run 2 fmtv style caiman wheels on front with run flats and 4 combat m939 wheels on rear.

    Mix and match tires

    Those fmtv wheels will bolt up. Just a tiny fraction different backspace that you will never notice. Save you a ton of work. Smaller tire will cost you a few miles top speed but I suspect your roads are just as bad as in New Orleans or Baton Rouge......

    Help with Heater core problem on my M1123

    There is the out side possibility that a shut off was installed or hoses tied together as a quick fix around in case of a leak. Also look at the heater control valve to make sure it is operating correctly. Pop the hood open and give it a good look see over all the heater components
