    M1152 Low Top Speed

    That's fair, but I thought the 200a was substantially more stout than the 60a. The dual voltage aspect of the 200a is a benefit as well. I'm no expert, though.

    Any Creative Canvas Door Locks?

    Attach a wire from your handle to the pin on a flashbang, wait for the fun. That's all I have to offer. Good luck!

    Any Creative Canvas Door Locks?

    If you "lock" your soft doors/soft top, the thief will just use a knife. I've made it a habit to never lock the doors on my convertibles for this exact reason. Losing a set of tow straps isn't worth my replacing a $2,500 top.

    What to proactively replace from yermo auction truck that has been sitting?

    I've had boot failure on other vehicles before, I would guess it took months before it was noticed (Chicago winter on a low vehicle, I'm not hanging out underneath there just for fun). Even after spotting it, it took several more weeks before I got around to replacing the shaft/boot, no...

    What to proactively replace from yermo auction truck that has been sitting?

    Tag for interest, I have little to add aside from the fact that you're not alone. My M1123 had 20 miles at IROAN, had 60 miles on odometer when I received it, everything on it looked basically brand new. The only issue I ran into that needed repair was a leaking heater core likely due to...

    Dongfeng doors on Humvee

    While I agree, economies of scale are real. Jeep sold 200,000 Wranglers in 2020 alone, this means that by the end of a model run CJ/YJ/TJ/JK/LJ/etc. there are likely millions of potential customers for each one of those, maybe more due to product overlap. AMG has made something like 350,000...

    auto trailer

    I am not an expert, nor am I giving you advice, but if I were to be transporting my c303 those distances, I'd have zero problem doing it on that UHaul trailer with proper tiedowns/rigging, assuming I have a decent tow vehicle. Those weights/dimensions aren't exactly gargantuan. My only concern...

    auto trailer

    I moved a M1123 (A2 truck), no top, doors, troop seats, A/C, etc. totally stripped down/empty with a 2014 RAM 1500 Quadcab 5.7 4x4. It was very tight on the trailer - absolutely no room front/back or side/side, totally maxed out, but it drove fine, didn't move an inch during transport. I can...

    auto trailer

    RentalMax and Sunbelt both carry them. What vehicle are you attempting to transport? I moved my HMMWV about 200 miles on a Uhaul Trailer when I bought it.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Where did you read that about MME? Not questioning it, but curious!

    melton vs gep

    There is debate over whether or not the keyed ignition can cause a startbox to fail. I've never heard this about a keyed fuel supply interrupt, given that, I know which route I'd choose- a padlock and the wire loop, because I'm lazy. YouTube - NSFW Violence/Language

    I need those! Did you make them or buy them?

    Water pump type? Flowkooler

    With that high flow rate, does the water pump do a sufficient job of cooling a 6.5 GEP? Are those $270 coolant "upgrades" worth the coin? https://paradoxbydesign.com/products/hmmwv-humvee-cooling-upgrade-system-v3

    Trailworthy fab closed?

    Well that changes my HMMWV tire plans... I was hoping to avoid going the Black Rhino route.

    HMMWV parts found on Facebook.

    Was the seller named Oleg? I am considering buying some stuff from him, but wanted to make sure he was legit.

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    Yep, took about 3 hours start to finish. Measure 15 times, angle grinder for a few minutes, paint and bolt in place. I think I'm going to reinforce the front half as it's a little more wobbly than I'd like (the rear part has more lateral support). I figure with the bench seat in the middle...

    1165a1...what went here?

    Wiring or compressor lines for an Air Conditioner? I have nothing there on my M1123, FWIW.
