    Just purchases M1123, need hauling advice.

    How bout a picture of your rig so we can get a better idea of what you are thinking of doing I drove flatbed tow trucks for years so Ive carried some stuff that was pushing the limits. What you are describing may be feasible if done right. Id have to see your truck, bed, and tiedown setup though

    Just purchases M1123, need hauling advice.

    Couple ideas from my recent Yermo pickup experience. If it drives, they will usually drive it out to you. That's what they did for me. The other guy that was there to pick up got a non runner and his was forked onto his trailer. I saw them do a nice job of it, but I would rather not as Ive seen...

    AZ will not title HMMWVs as of today

    When I started doing my research, the first place I called was the AZ DOT state office. The horses mouth so to speak. The nice lady there told me about the military vehicle on-road compliance affidavit. She said there wasn't a way to get to it by clicking on the website, but if you searched the...

    AZ will not title HMMWVs as of today

    Yes. I just did mine in record time within 24 hour of receiving my sf97. Arizona has a specific form/affidavit they don't advertise that is for you to swear that it meets all AZDOT specs. Which are the USDOT specs. Add reverse light and license light and you are good to go with an level 1...

    HMMWV licensure in KS

    Actually, the one I went to had nothing but DMV employees as keynote speakers. They have been leaders of the bureaucracy training industry since they took over from the water department in the early 1900s

    HMMWV Hub temps?

    Even so, it popped up and made me go check my hubs with the IR temp gun. They were all 25-30 degrees above ambient temperature. Im running Walmarts finest 80W90. Im satisfied with those temps.

    Soft top rail

    I want to say mine were 10-32. Same as the A and B pillar. One of my B pillar hole was wollered out and had a 1/4-20 hacked in there

    Can someone ID this winch

    looks like the mile marker hydraulic winch that was on my 91 Jeep YJ. It was plumbed into the power steering lines. It powered in and out with a high and low speed. Nice winch.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Everything Ive read about those switches lately revolves around them being notorious for starting fires. I like the high zoot look but after seeing several pics of crispy buttons, I'm wary of them.

    Red paint on front of engine.

    Ive seen that, too. I also wondered what it was about and it seemed to be mostly on serpentine belted engines missing the belt. My guess is it was done to warn that the belt was missing, or to not start the engine or something like that???

    Door blanks

    The door blanks come off easy. First you need to remove the troop seat assemblies. Just remove the four 1/4" 12 point bolts and twist the rear strap dzus fastener 90 degrees and lift it up in the rear first and weasel it out. The rear bulkhead unbolts with four screws. The rear curtain clips...
