This is not true, go and read the law again, only HMMWVs with an OFF ROAD USE ONLY SF97 that weigh under 10K can be registered.
ANY HMMWV with a "clear" SF97 can be registered.

Dang, when I built the DuraVee the largest yoke I could find was the 1330 series, now I see them in 1350 series.
Not that I have been able to break the 1330 series U joint ;)
The early trucks like the M998 used a 1310 series U joint.
I also ordered an idler arm, mine is fine but I am going to replace it as I need one for the truck I just bought, it is missing the idler/drag link and both tie rods. it is just a parts truck but being able to steer it makes it allot easier to move the carcass around.
I was hoping to find...
That pitman was from Kascar, AMG does not have any at this time, the one I pulled came with the truck out of DRMO.
There were no markings on the pitman arm at all which I think is a little off, maybe real factory pitman arms for the basic/A1 are no longer available
I have never seen an antenna mount with that pattern, but it SEEMS obvious that is what was there with the radio or amplifier on top of the fender.
The last duty this M998 saw was with a group of reserve helicopter pilots serving under an active CO in San Antonio, maybe it was an air band...
Interesting, the new pitman arm moved the steering wheel, the left spoke went from 9 oclock to 11 oclock, I assume properly aligned the spokes should be at 10, 2 and 6 oclock
Speaking of OE, the seller on this Basic/A1 Pitman arm told me it was factory AMG, these were the only markings.
And it was supplied with the wrong size Zerk fitting, seems like a decent part otherwise.
I dropped the box the floor and the ol Diggy Dog went to work on it right away!!!
OK that makes sense, Kascar is selling the Moog upgrade, I thought they only sold OEM parts.
It just says "upgrade" so I confused it with a A1/A2 upgrade, my bad.
I am thinking of doing the steering linkage upgrade and have a question about the idler arm.
I see one online seller selling a "upgrade idler arm kit" that includes the bolts and some spacers, are these spacers required when upgrading a Basic?
IIRC my frame already has some spacers attached.
You know I am actually not sure, the factory panel I worked on I had taken apart to begin with, I would think some real good "Q" tips soaked in rubbing alcohol could access the windows if you pull the lamp sockets, but again not sure.
