doing trailer things! We’ll see what happens to this idk…

no worries dude! Post away, let’s see a before and after. I do think you’re going to have to get something that’s more aggressive than vinyl cleaner and restorer. Best of luck!

Sounds like a fun project! I wish my trailer was woodland camo, but for some reason those sell for more money. I thought about painting mine but I just don’t have the motivation, I keep telling myself it’s just a trailer. Those canvas covers are incredibly expensive. I’m hoping that I’ll be able...

did you get one of the ones from Butner? They had some Tan ones that were really dirty. I would think you would need to use a chemical on them to get them clean.

Can someone give me a lesson on Body Lifts for Humvees? Specifically a M1123 model? I'm looking at what's available online and Im gravitating to the steel brackets. I'm just not sure exactly how you deal with the steering column and what else needs to be moved and adjusted. This is the kit on...

Dang! 20x9 Battle Born Beadlock 4.5” Backspacing on 42” Nitto.

Im new to the Humvee world and certain information that Ive been able to find regarding solid axle rigs has been a lot easier. I'm trying to figure out what the WMS "wheel mounting surface" distance is on the front and rear of a Humvee. Is that identical to an M1101 trailer? Regarding the body...

Can anyone comment that has done an LS swap with the stock 4l80 transmission, is the Holley terminator Max the way to go? Where is the harness that controls all the lights on these trucks and how did you integrate to that? Full 12v conversion throughout?

Never been a fan of carburetors off road but that’s an easy setup. Wiring isn’t too bad on the 6.6 and 6l90 except you have to take part of the transmission apart to be programmed for a stand alone controller. We will see, I really like the 6.6 L8T platform and most of the LQ engines I’m seeing...

nice! I won my truck a few weeks ago, engine I’m assuming is toast so just trying to figure out the best course of action. I’ve really been considering 6.6 and 6L90, but idk. Might be easier to just put a LQ9 / LQ4 in it and move on….

Would love to see progress photos!

thanks, have no plans to use the troop canopy on the humvee I bought, thought I’d be able to use it on the trailer, dang.

Would anyone here know if the troop carrier hmmwv cover is the same as the m1101 cover?

Ill give that a shot when I get it home. I wonder if doing that to the whole truck would clean it up?

While I was there I noticed that it looked like there was some green spray paint over some markings on the tailgate. Obviously there is a portion on the tailgate that says USMC and the registration number, but just above that there was something they painted Green paint over and Ive got no idea...

In route to a work project that was canceled due to the pending hurricane I detoured to the GovPlanet facility that has my truck. I asked if I could see it in person, even though I don’t have my release papers. They had no problem and took me to see it. Really nice folks there. Apparently my...

thank you for the support! I started a thread on it on the modified hmmwv section. Im confident the engine is full of water….

Thank you! I did end up buying a clean non running hmmwv. I’ve definitely got my work cut out for me. I’m excited to learn something new. Will probably have to swap the engine with another one so should be a good challenge for me in my low buck garage.

Thank you all! I ultimately passed on the HMMWV that was missing the data plate. I had a budget to stick to and I was surprised it sold for as much as it did, obviously the running HMMWVs sell for more than the non running ones.

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased an M1101 trailer, and since then, things have escalated a bit. I decided I needed a Humvee as well. My only criteria were that it had to be clean, ideally a troop carrier, and I wanted to keep the initial investment as low as possible. I came close to buying a...
