Just got back from Nevada DMV and they are claiming they can't register a vehicle with a reassigned SF-97 from Gov Planet. They will only title and register the vehicle if Gov Planet issues a title. Anyone heard of this?

I know they scrapped a bunch of vehicles out of Pearl Harbor. Anyone know where they went?

Looking at buying a couple of rigs out of Pearl Harbor. Need someone to replace batteries, check fluids, etc. and get them to the port for shipping.

The M1043A2's and M1045A2's came with the up-armored doors with the full length piano hinge instead of the 2-pin soft & x-doors or the 3-pin SF armored doors. For those of you that have one of these beasts and went with the 2-pin doors, how did you do it?

I am scrapping a 2002 M1083A1 cab and figured I would post how thick the newer sound dampening coatings are. Floor Tunnel Back

I had to reroute the compressor coolant line to make space for the A/C brackets on my M1083A1 with a 3126. Is this bend going to cause me any issues down the road? There aren't any kinks and it isn't rubbing anywhere. My natural inclination is to want to do it right, but the fitting on the left...

Have a puzzling door handle issue I can't figure out. My 2004 M1083A1 has the pull-down style handles so the "left" handle is on the passenger door. **** thing hasn't worked since I got it and I suspect it was at least part of why this truck was surplussed. The trip was broken when it got here...

Just installed a set of NIB MRAP seats into the M1083. They sit too high with the MRAP mounting bracket, but with that bracket removed and a 1/4" adapter plate they work really well. The only real downside is they are pretty heavy (and a pain to get into the cab) with the under seat armor. I...

We had a military vehicle show at the Oregon National Guard on Saturday to celebrate Armed Forces day and they brought out their brand new M1078A1P2. This thing has less than 100 miles, the center seat still has the plastic, the delivery cards are still in the windshield, the BII is still in the...

Does anyone have the part # for the winch in/out rocker switch. I know it is a Valeo 511 switch but it is missing from my truck so I can't pull it and check the number. I am currently traveling and don't have the TM's with me.

Is there any interest in replacement door handle trips made from cast bronze with the thin area reinforced? These would work with either the pull-up or pull-down handles and would be a direct replacement for the cheap cast aluminum trips that always break. Likely cost would be $75 each but that...

My 1083a1 has been parked for a few months. Went to move it today and the middle right (passenger) wheel is locked. The other 5 turn but mid right drags without turning. Caged the brake on that side and still no luck. Has anyone experienced this before? Any idea what to check?

Has anyone come up with a good replacement for the trip lever on the earlier pull-up or pull-down door handles? The door handles in my 2004 M1088A1 had both been replaced at least once by the military before I got it (I assume due to broken trip levers). Passenger handle was broken again when I...

Anyone have a source for the 16Mx1.5 frame bolts and lock nuts? I can find the 2mm course thread bolts, but having a difficult time finding the fine thread bolts and nuts from a US supplier.

I just picked up a 2004 M1088A1 out of Yermo, CA with the Blackhorse insignia on the door and some Blackhorse Regiment paperwork in the cab. Since it is a tractor, I assume it was part of the Supply & Transportation troop, Regimental Support Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment out of Ft...

I am thinking about getting a MTV out of Ft. Riley and am looking for a good Cat/MTV mechanic to go look at it for me (for pay). If I get it, I would want the mechanic to go through it and make sure everything is working, change the batteries, top fluids before I fly out and drive it home. If...

I just acquired one of the three remaining General Dynamics XM-966 HMMWV prototypes and I am trying to gather as much information as possible on these vehicles. If anyone has pictures, information, stories, or most anything else, please let me know. I have started putting together a website at...

I am looking for a good deuce mechanic in Portland, Oregon that is creative and willing to help me custom build a rig. I want to marry the armored body from a Humber Pig APC to a bobbed M35A3. Any suggestions? Thank you, Martin

I have a Mk2 Humber Pig armored car that I need moved from Wildomar, California to Portland, Oregon. Anyone have a truck coming this direction or have a recommendation on who can handle this? Weight 7.5 tons Length 4.93 metres (16 ft 2 in) Width 2.04 metres (6 ft 8 in) Height 2.12...
