    Any info on states issuing titles for hmmwvs?

    Not true just a couple of hoops to jump thru. In the end you will get plates for a Humvee. Sent from my SM-J727U using Tapatalk

    Hmmwv is so unique. But I wonder why a few things

    AM General is not a Division of GM and never was. AM General used to be part of American Motors.. GM had bought the rights to the Hummer brand, but not the H1 or the Humvee. AM General still owns the rights to the H1. Vehicle being produced and sold in China is under a licencing agreement. H2...

    Video has many inaccuracies. The M151 was devolped in the late 50s. The H2 was built for the street not for off road use. Built on the suburban frame, drive train, and engine options to save money and increase profit margins. Both were useless off road other than dirt roads unmodified. Land...

    The louerine Bush guards came out way after the crappy Bush guards that was fielded in the late 80s. (The bent pretty easy). They were also commonly found on NG unit vehicles then the Active Army units. Yes the louerine units were way better but for some reason we had a hard time acquiring...

    Until the 1101 and 2 went into production M101 trailers we refurbished with Humvee tires and rims, new axle with increased width and height. Became the M101A3. I have towed both and actually prefer the 101A3. I have even pulled a M105 and a Water Buffalo with a Humvee. Sent from my SM-J727U...

    Yes the requirement to be transported in a C130 or the C141 was part of the design specifications laid out in the contract. In both aircraft height is limited to 110 inches and 88 inches wide. Sent from my SM-J727U using Tapatalk

    My many years in the Army. I constantly would prove that the Humvee could go anywhere the Abrams went and in addition thru terrain the Abrams couldn't. For you Marines out there. Without the fording kit Sent from my SM-J727U using Tapatalk

    Hmmwv is so unique. But I wonder why a few things

    Now I will cover the 6.2. The 6.2 was pretty much the only option. The Army in the contract requirements was a diesel engine. The 6.2 was already in use in the M1008/09 CUCV. So it was the logical choice as parts were readily available in the Army supply system. Fuel, although the 6.2 was...

    The reason for the width, partly on how it was designed . To keep the height and center gravity low. The body was deigned with the frame, drivetrain and fuel tank contained in a tunnel, additionally this also provide protection for the componets. The use of the planetary gears simalar to the...

    Field of Honor Ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Park Tampa Fl,

    All the event has been cancelled. Park manager feels that Military Vehicles are inappropriate and will cause emotional stress and angst to widows of the fallen. Sent from my SM-J727U using Tapatalk
