Put on an aftermarket receiver type hitch. That removes the poor bumper design on the original pintle. Get a Pintle based receiver assembly and get a M101 trailer.
Best of all worlds.
You have a normal receiver hitch now
you have the best trailer of all
Just a reminder to everyone,
I spent 3 hours chasing down my low beams being out on my CUCV. After testing everything and replacing some components I decided to check the bulbs, duuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Guess what both low beams in the bulbs had burned out around the same time.
Love that! Thank you Antennaclimber. I ordered one.
For the rest of you the site to order is below:

I like hurting my back every time I have to lift the type6 batteries out of the CUCV's for troubleshooting or changing light bulbs!!
Just swapped the front and rear battery positions which should be done yearly as the starter battery does not get the same cycles as the 12 volt system battery...
Or purchase from a SS member at a good price.

Installed my new Trucklite LED lights in the M1009 the other day. BIG Thanks to CUCVRUS for convincing me the money is well spent and yes that money is well spent! Amazon is the cheapest place to purchase. Link is provided below...

Maybe a HMMWV owner can tell me why I should sell my 2 CUCV's that are street legal, cheaper to purchase, maintain and operate and get me anywhere in the woods that I need to go? Other than emotional "Cool" factor I don't get it? Am I missing something?
Be very careful taking this apart. Many people break the housing or strip the bolts and then you have problems. I have spare cross overs if you break it taking it apart.
So I am in all day meetings today that I am leading. Commander Zout starts sending pics over around 10 to my phone which is pinging and I cant look at. Finally we get a BIO break and I am hanging out in the bathroom staring at my phone and some of the meeting attendees come in and what to know...
Don't you have 6 major projects already we have not started and you are currently working on finishing 2.
If only more hours in the day!!!

I am not sure what you are saying with "Hard Starts" and then failing to turn over then starter seems to be good. Lots of miss information could be read into these statements.
1.) if the motor is not starting but turning over as temp drops your glow plugs are shot. Lots of threads on this...
