    If you need the top only (without bows), Sportsmans Guide is selling new tops for $100 with a choice of a green M1035 ambulance top (full top to the rear) or the standard camo top with exposed rear.

    Anyone done a recovery from Camp Ripley (Little Falls, MN) recently?

    I know that people have towed their newly acquired trucks home via U-Haul trailers and while some will say that it "barely" fits, I would say that it's not the best idea. I did it myself and wouldn't do it again. The 7000# rated trailer is the gross weight and it says that the max vehicle weight...

    Painting a M998

    I Google'd "soda blast carc" and it gave me a number of results-with several results pointing to here and on the G. It appears the results say that it either works marginally well, or not very good at all.

    Painting a M998

    Just curious, but have you tried just hitting it hard with a pressure washer? It'll certainly knock loose paint off and should do so without affecting what's adhered good.

    Slant back top installation paperwork

    I hate being "that guy" that responds by telling you to check the TM, but I seem to be having issues posting screek shots of the pages. All of the info is located in 9-2320-280-34 in chapter 14 - "Special Purpose Bodies". This is located for free download here on the website.

    2 piece wheels

    Just curious, but why don't you leave them as is? They're easy enough to work with without having to pay someone to do it for you.

    Tips to short list HMMWVs up for auction on Gov Planet

    I'm writing this as a newbie myself to the whole auction process. I've had other mil vehicles in the past, but they've all be private purchase. I think to be armed with knowledge beforehand will save you grief down the road so I've answered your questions as well as added my .02 cents in...

    My Euc cleared :) in record time and no notification from GP

    Mike- same thing happened to me. I went to my account on govplanet when I was approaching the 60 day mark since auction. It turns out that it cleared the day before - I actually called CS to confirm what I was seeing. I never did get an email with confirmation - I think it just pays to be...

    92 - M1038 Ignition Issue - Suggestions

    Gents - I've been flipping through the TM's and have found that the information is great, but it's not exactly helping me out with diagnosing my particular problem. So I'm hoping that I can get some input from you before going on a wild goose chase and throwing money at parts that might not...

    What Is The WIDTH Outside Tire to Outside Tire of a HMMWV??

    The demil code for vehicles considered to be armament carriers prevents them from being auctioned. A DRMO friend I have told me that he keeps them to the side of his lot and they're eventually picked up for destruction in Anniston, AL. So how many Armament carriers versus non-armament? I don't...

    What Is The WIDTH Outside Tire to Outside Tire of a HMMWV??

    It was dark by the time I got home last night, alas - no pics or showoff thread just yet. I know that it seems that there are a lot of complaints about Iron Planet, many of which appear to be legit - but I have to say that my experience was that it was rather painless. If I had a gripe, it...

    What Is The WIDTH Outside Tire to Outside Tire of a HMMWV??

    I just dragged my M1038 home this afternoon. I used a 7500# rated U-Haul trailer. I fibbed about what I was towing since most here haven't had issues. My truck has BFG Baja's on it and I can tell you that it won't "barely" fit between fenders and actually sat up on the edge with about 3" or so...

    HMMWV Body lift

    That's not a newer Humvee or even factory built for that matter. A Google search shows that the vehicle on the right is equipped with an Oshkosh designed Tak-4 driveline and suspension upgrade to restore cargo capacity when equipped with armor and to improve survivability when encountering...

    HMMWV Body lift

    If by "improvement" you mean that they had to do it to accommodate the turbo in the 6.5, then yes, lifting the body is an improvement since they need to make sure that it fits correctly. Otherwise, there was no need to lift the body.

    my new technical truck

    Agreed - ya might think you want it because it's the most current, but I was at the USASOC Motor Pool at Bragg the other day and even the late uparmored M1152 GMV trucks had the "old" 3-lever switch. That's pretty telling to me.

    Oshkosh wins JLTV Contract.

    M1097A2 Armor Package Type?

    I know that there are several armor packages that were made available for the HMMVW beyond the supplemental armor that the Marines had on theirs prior to the GWOT. Since there are different types and levels and tiers of armor packages, I was hoping that someone could identify the type on this...
