Make the above post yesterday, title came in today. Sometimes things just go your way. AMG is indeed the manufacturer, so you can provide that to the DMV folks whenever anyone registers so they don't get all sketched out when they can't find a manufacturer and end up having to call NC DMV...

You can for sure. Like I mentioned, they were willing to go ahead and register and tag it then and there and I would have left with a road legal car. The issue is that NC DMV does not accept that as a legal transfer. They don't accept any "floating" or reassignment of titles or ownership...

Wanted to update you all and let you know following the TM for bleeding the system to a T resolved my noise. Thanks all. I can see why so many HMMWVs have these noises, The turning and hold at full turn 40 times takes time, as well as the steps for allowing to cool and refilling. Those E-3s are...

I wanted to share my experience titling and registering a HMMWV in NC. This experience spanned late 2023 into 2024, so it is pretty fresh info. I also have some insurance experiences to share below. I’ll start off by saying that I am a NC DMV expert. Not saying this to brag, but I don’t want...

Yeah my 2007 is most assuredly not a turbo. Isn't this specific issue why basically only 1980s HMMWV can be improved to Europe? I wish you all the luck fighting the ridiculous emissions and control on imports there, and if beat it, you'll be an international treasure. There is a Facebook...

Looks like Blue Ox Tops is the ticket, and is producing them like Bulldogger said above since I made my first post. Looks great.

Hey all, seeking your help trying to resolve an issue, hoping to make some posts soon with some mod and improvement work so that I can contribute along with receiving great help from you guys. 2007 M1097R1, 51,000 miles, two man troop carrier. My issue is this: when driving at relatively low...

Howdy All, Looking for some insight on these two different noises on my 2007 M1097R1 with 50k miles. As you can hear, there a pretty distinct power steering noise when turning the wheel and stationary. Additionally, there is a pretty loud noise when depressing the brake pedal while parked...

Will definitely let you know. Picked up my unit. Four man c pillar and kit came in. Hope to install soon, and will then measure things out and contemplate this bimini top concept. Pics. Love it. Drives great, have put quite a bit of road time on it already, including a 1.5 hour drive home...

Thanks all for the replies. If I were to end up going with a traditional top and skipping the rear curtain, any recommendations between the major suppliers, such as the Seco Parts top vs the Midwest Military Equipment vs April Mint, etc? Or are these all coming out of the same Chinese factory...

Long time member (8 years), first post. Have bid on a few HMMWVs over the years, and finally committed to it, and won a M1097R1 unit. Hoping to pick up in the next week or so. It is a two man that I plan on converting to a four man through the usual parts and process. My question is this. I...

I'm registering in NC as stated above, but okay will give them a call next week and see if they can point me further me along in the right direction.

Great info, good stuff. Yeah I've used the private contractors, good for normal run of the mill stuff, but I'll definitely check the HQ out like you said. So time to let my ignorance shine; I'm assuming these M1078s come in at over 14,000lbs? Don't have much to base that off other than the...

Gotcha, 4K is the limit though? My Escalade weighed 6000 pounds, **** my 2011 Caprice weighed over 5K. Sorry for the confusion, never registered anything out of the ordinary, and haven't registered in NC in a while, been in Texas for a few years. Weighted tags don't require a business or...

I could wear you thin picking your brain. Looking at a 1994 myself (M1078 as well), and would go to a Raleigh DMV as well. Just curious, why wouldn't you go with a personal tag under any circumstance? Do these truck exceed a set weight limit for a personal use tag? (Didn't know there was a...

I think OP is looking for an answer as far as the sample results being indicative of a problem, wear or tear beyond normal, etc. Which in reality can't be answered with certainty. Buying a MIL surplus item is like buying an ex-police car at auction; always a roll of the dice.

Very nice. Where is the camera in that rear end picture, don't see it.

Rgr thanks for the quick reply sir. Very very tempted to get one of these. Just sold my commuter car (2011 Caprice PPV 6.0L V8, not much for commuter MPGs), and with the cash I bought an easy cruiser Grand Marquis, and want one of these for no other reason than ****s and giggles. Quick...

If the CTIS system is incomplete, and therefore not operable, can the truck still be driven, just with a loss of locking diff abilities? EDIT: Belay my last, seeing guys say that they do not have locking diffs, which is what I understood to be the case. Regardless, are there any operational...
