BLACK 2.0 - The world’s mattest, flattest, black art material by Stuar – Culture Hustle USA Granted, it's expensive. Though they do give a discount between sizes, so maybe they would give a discount for volume. What I'm wondering is, would it be looking for trouble or just plain stupid to...

Bumping an old thread because I found a source. I've never ordered from the site, but military-spareparts.com has RT-524 working, tested models for ~$650 including shipping to the US (they're in Greece). Again, I'm not endorsing this site. I just found them through a search, emailed and they...

Went online form with Haggerty, stated that my primary use was utility/offroad/non daily driver, and the form gave me a quote. Mine is a 2007. But, I had some more questions so I decided to call. I mentioned that the variant is a utility vehicle and that's what I was planning on doing with it...

So, for me the hmmwv is a fun vehicle. I have a Subaru wagon that acts as my daily driver, but it's really poor for carrying weight. I also have an M35 that I'm converting into a tiny home so that won't be much use anymore for hauling stuff. Cue the humvee. Now, I don't need a pick-up truck...

I won last Wednesday (1/4), filled out the paperwork and filed everything that night. Arranged the wire transfer that paid on Friday and picked up on Tuesday (1/10). I wasn't there, but the people that picked up for me (had to trailer it) did say that they could've picked up 2 humvees for all...

You have to wait for the EUC before you can pick up? I picked up as soon as I paid. Won on Wed, picked up on Tues. They told me it would be a few weeks for the SF97.

Thanks for the reasoned response. Feels like I'm on Reddit. I used to race (on the amateur level), strictly on pavement. A stiffer sidewall does help with cornering, to avoid tire roll. This is not to say that the additional weight of a run flat didn't also have a detrimental effect to...

Excuse my ignorance, but what are the advantages to removing run flats? I probably won't stick with run flats when my tires wear out, but why go to the trouble to remove them? Besides the run flat ability, they also increase the stiffness of the sidewall which helps in cornering.

Yeah, I'm really pleased with the condition. Some of these get auctioned without 4 doors, so that was a plus even if one is tan. It was actually a non-runner so it went cheap. But once some fuel went in, it started right up. Still checking it out to see about the rest.

Yep. The R stands for Recapitalization. If you're not familiar with this program, here's a brochure. I know that it originally would've been an earlier model year, but officially it's legally now a 2007. Found some paperwork in the cab from 1991, but I haven't looked too closely at it yet.

I just bought a 2007 M1097R1. I also own a 1971 M35A2, that I've had for 6 years. I'm not shy about asking questions, even if they sound dumb. If you don't like people that are newbies you're probably gonna want to avoid my threads. In the short term, I have to replace the fuel tank -...

Just picked up a M1097R1 today. I'm in Bellingham. I'll let you know how it goes.

As soon as my build is done, I plan on putting some ridiculous price on it, like $200k. Not that I'm interested in selling, but every man's got a price and if someone wants to pay that kind of money, I'd be happy to sell. Then I could buy a 7 ton and start over!

Sound insulation can knock that sound down quite handily. I knocked 40 db off when I put sound insulation in the cab of my deuce. And twice that number for shipping.

This would be handled through the WA Dept. of Revenue. People buy big ticket items all the time in OR to avoid sales tax and bring them back to WA. If it's something like a boat or vehicle there's a good chance you'll get busted so there's a provision to pay the sales tax through Revenue. For...

The drain is in the corner of the pan. And there is a side to the pan. Another hole could be drilled for drainage, couldn't it, if necessary? Water still flows downhill, doesn't it?

So, I'm putting a Red Dot system in my truck for a/c and heat, specifically their 2300 model which is designed for off-road applications. The manual states that the unit is supposed to be mounted "flat" somewhere, on the ceiling, floor, whatever. Thing is, space is getting a little tight in my...

Another option would be to put in an electric pump on the fuel line, before the fuel injection pump. It's like a $35 part, wire it to your power switch.

Door glass is on the bottom of the pic. Thought it good to have booth glass measurements on one pic.

I'm pretty committed to my tires. They're 11r24.5 and can be sourced far more easily than military tires. Plus duallies gives me some other options when traveling vs super singles. If you're interested, you can read about my journey to commercial tires at this link. The extra fuel capacity...
