    Plain steel 16.5 rim other than the stock 2-piece

    I did a search through the wheel and tire threads but came up empty. I bought 4 new stock tires for the M1035A2 that I haven't received yet from GP. I'd like to find as close of a wheel that will fit my tires but get away from the stock 2-piece design. None of the shops in my area will touch an...

    Flush brake lines or replace them?

    Haven't received my truck yet, but from the pictures it may need more than a little brake work. The photo shows the top off the reservoir and everything completely dry. I can only imagine the kind of crap that may have gotten into the lines and who knows what else. Can the brake lines be flushed...

    Brake reservoir and brake lines

    I can see from the online images of the truck I bought that once I get it home it will probably need brake lines at an absolute minimum. The reservoir is dry and dirty, so I will obviously inspect and repair every needed aspect of the braking system. Are brake lines a specialty item or where can...

    Spare 6.5 non-turbo and 4L80E (4 speed) cost?

    This isn't something I need, but there is a wrecked 2001 1097A1 HMMWV here locally and the owner is taking offers for parts. Haven't seen it in person, but the mileage is just over 5k (according to the speedo) If they are usable as-is components, what would they be worth? No frame damage. Mostly...

    My 1st HMMWV from GP

    First time I ever bid on a GP truck and I won. Not sure if that's a good omen or bad? I'm sure time will tell. Does anyone polish the clear gauge cluster faces when they are worn and cloudy or is their a source to buy the clear lens without having to buy the entire gauge? I was a medic then...

    Electric Fan Conversion?

    Did a search in the forums, but couldn't find anything on topic. Has anyone done an electric fan conversion with their HMMWV's? Curious if it would save a little space and clean up the engine bay. Any thoughts?

    Items you normally check 1st and need to repair and or replace?

    Is there a way to run Optima batteries in the HMMWV?

    Only asking because my brother gifted me 2 brand new yellow tops for Christmas. Curious if these can be used somehow, or if a specific battery is needed?

    Lenders for HMMWV purchase?

    Is anyone aware of any major or minor lenders that will loan on these types of vehicles?

    HMMVs coming from Hawaii

    I realize there is a good chunk of change in getting a vehicle shipped to the states from Hawaii but they seem to sell on GP awfully cheap compared to stateside. Do buyers just not want to mess with the shipping or is there anything consistently wrong with the trucks from the islands?

    HMMWV turbo models

    Been searching with no luck so far. Can anyone tell me which specific models had the turbo vs non-turbo? I'd like to buy one that will cruise at a highway speed of 65-70 mph. Finding a turbo model seems most likely to fit this unless I'm missing something?

    Recommended spare parts list.

    I spent many years driving the HMMWV's while in the army but driving them and paying to maintain them out of your own pocket is obviously two very different thing! For those of you that already have your own HMMWVs for a while. what would you recommend having on hand as far as spare parts...

    HMMWV Generator / Alternator substitute

    Will any other alternators / generators work with the HMMWV's or are you forced to use the standard units specifically meant for them?

    HMMWV curb weight by model

    I'm sorry if this is a re-post but can't seem to find a definitive answer after searching the threads. When searching on the GP site at the HMMWV's listed....each vehicle has a listed weight at the far bottom of the vehicle description. These listed weights almost always contradict with the...
