    HMMWV Wheel Adapters/Spacers??

    The simple answer is to order the OD inner/outer wheel powder coat option re-centered HUMMER rims, mount your tires on them, and try to sell the rims outright. I did not opt for the rock rings. From: http://www.trailworthyfab.com/12-Bolt-Hummer-Wheel-Using-Flat-Centers.html If you call them...

    save M715 original or making it practical ?

    I bought my stock 24v M725 that was once a Fire Department acquired vehicle for a Civil Defense role. I tried to keep it stock. I chose to "military-mod" it with re-centered HUMMER rims and tires, a custom-built "military-look" rear tire carrier/bumper, a pair of black Chrysler stow-and-go...

    When I was stationed in Bremerhaven Germany at the LORAN Site, '78-81, the 606 TCS had an OD green M725 parked in front of their HQ building. They had two medical technicians on staff that screened personel for medical treatment, and they deployed whenever they did a "rally-round-the-flagpole"...
