I didn't actually need them right now, but the price was too good to pass up, and they should work on the A2 hubs as well (and I have 1 trailer and 4 extra axles for it)

played in the snow friday night with some jeeps. Made it pretty much as far as it would go with MT tires, and the Jeeps behind me were stuck on a small log across in the snow. Snow 14-18" deep, with hard crust on top. I was heavier and wider than the others, so kept breaking through the crust...

So it's hard to give good advice, when you are giving mixed information. Not trying to be rude, but there is a big difference between "my glow plugs are good" and "I have not checked them because of inadequate tools, but the truck hasn't done anything in a while so I assume they are good." All...

These are a design that does NOT like to have starting fluid used on it. As in, you can damage the cylinder head/precombustion chamber and cause some serious issues that will cost a decent chunk of money to repair, that is entirely preventable by NOT using starting fluid. Once again, DO NOT...

How do you know that the glow plugs are good? Have you put the multimeter on every one and checked for resistance, or did you just put in new ones and assume they are still good? Plus, if you have to pressurize the tank to get it to run, then something not right there either. Commonly it's a...

Easy way to check for fuel starvation of it's in the tank, lines, or lift pump. Start the truck, run it, and open the little fuel drain valve in the front driver's wheel well. If fuel streams out, you know the system is good up to that point. If no fuel comes out, then the truck sounds funny...

It's hard to find any gearing higher than the 3.54 because of the portal hubs aren't very common. They almost double the gear ratio, so you have to start out a lot higher. And as the HMMWV is a relatively uncommon application in the real world, there just isn't much out there. Trading low end...

I doubt the workers are actually on holiday. they sent out a letter a couple weeks ago that they are doing an inventory assessment. Not sure what all that entails, but with as crappy as their inventory tracking has been in the past, it might take a while to actually verify what they do or don't...

our doors aren't as difficult to remove during an emergency as your average automobile door is (and if the accident is bad enough to cause the body to crumple, the door is't going to be stuck shut), and the windows aren't really large enough to drag someone out of if there is an emergency...

might just be that they close for the holidays and do an inventory inspection and other stuff. I checked, and right now there are only a total of 33 items listed on gov planet for the entire country. So you can relax for now, it isn't just HMMWVs, it's everything shut down.

Or put a turbo motor and 4 speed into an A0/A1 truck. Makes me wonder if our EOD friend did the diffs when he upgraded his truck...

Then again, where you live there really isn't a large amount of traffic so you aren't having to slam on brakes and dodge the prius drivers that often. Book top speed in the A0/A1 is 55, for the A2 it's 78, and ECV/REV it's 70. Makes me think the A2 is probably the best option for where we...

Yes, there are a few companies that fix and resell, but there ARE companies that do just paint and flip them, and any implied warranty is crap. Plenty of threads on here about good and bad experiences with these companies, so you just need to do your research.

yes, you can balance them out with runflats, and then safely run them at highway speeds. Getting a set of Centramatics or Balancemasters does help, because even being just a little out of balance makes things feel worse the faster you drive. I've run Wrangler MT and MTR tires on both 12 and 24...

Also to note: the quality and formula for gasoline today is pretty different than it was back 30 years ago, or even more different if you go back over 50 years ago when gasoline was leaded. We are dealing with petroleum products that are called the same, and come from the same distillation...

Old diesel has sulfur in it for lubrication. Most of the clearances/wear surfaces were also larger, so a little gasoline in the fuel won't cause much additional wear (within reason) Modern diesel (ULSD) has almost no sulfur, and they have to add in stuff for lubrication. Then a lot of us tend...

Diesel anti-gel is usually a good idea when you start getting that cold. The main pumps you buy your fuel at, if they are in the same area, should be treating their diesel for use in that cold of weather, but adding more anti-gel won't hurt anything. Howes, PowerService, HotShot's Secret, or...
