Looking to tow my MRZR and I want a military trailer for looks/parades.
I can't seem to find a trailer that fits that is HMMWV-towable. It seems it will not fit in the M1101/1102 series trailers.
MRZR dimensions:
I have a civilian trailer and my HMMWV has a 2" hitch and that works fine...
. . . my dad would drop us off at school in a Hummer that had no windows, no doors and no roof . . .

Anyone using a flexible hose like a Fume-a-Vent for HMMWV startup?
My HMMWV is garaged and when started will make smoke. I can't leave my garage doors open to vent out the garage because of very cold temps in winter. Same issue with working in the garage during the winter, can't leave the...
I can't seem to find much in the archives to help me on these two question.
I am going to be running some high amperage cables from the starter to the front bumper for a Sherpa electric winch installation.
First question, the winch connections are currently covered by a layer of that...
This isn't a hypothetical.
So let's say you were going to buy a parts truck and cannibalize it for hard-to-get spares. Currently I am thinking that I may do just that. And let's say your driving truck is a late model ECV/REV B.
Assuming you didn't have space to store the truck more than...
It's on an auction truck at GP. Never seen this before - what is this for?

McSpeed’s thread on getting stuck has me considering adding a rear winch to my M1165A1. I do go in the backcountry a lot and getting stuck is a real concern. I will shortly have a 17K front mount winch permanently installed.
I am just toying with options, but I am wondering what people who...
It's combat footage, so you are warned if you click through . . . several armored HMMWVs in combat in Ukraine. Also lots of American weaponry around the HMMWV.

From their new spin-off show, "Pawn Stars Do America". Advance to about 36:43 for the scene. The Pawn Stars passed. I would have also - the 6.5 non-turbo doesn't have the juice to run up and down I-70 in Colorado.

I'm going off on a lark and adding a winch to my M1165A1. I've secured an ECV front winch plate and am planning on adding a Sherpa 17K winch.
What I'm worried about now is the added weight in the front of the vehicle and weight. About 70 pounds for the winch and close to that for the mounting...
For those running on Montana plates - has anyone applied for the exemption from front license plate? I am thinking of putting the winch on the front of my M1165A1 and it will be difficult to mount a plate if I do.

Appreciate if anyone has done this...
My neighbor and I will be driving our sister trucks - both M1165A1s - out to Moab for a bit of off roading. It's about a 300 mile trip (each way) for us.
We'll definitely be bringing tools and a few key spares but I wanted to be prepared for one of the trucks going down.
Which makes me...
Just curious - anyone know when the last HMMWVs were produced for the US military, and what are the highest serial numbers seen?
GP has had a few in the low 350xxx range they say are 2012 manufacture; are there any newer than that?
