.Is anyone aware of someone selling the AM General tailgate letters in vinyl or something similar for my M998
Thank you
Thank you, always interesting facts about the M998, I did look at ebay, only H1 stuff availableThe early tailgates with the logo are embossed in the metal. I dont know of any decals available to match that look, but I havent looked. Maybe try ebay?
From what I understand, when humvees started being used in combat roles the government didnt want brand names on them, so they stopped putting AM General on the tailgates.
Well, this explains why I got a full set of vinyl markings for my Humvee salad project and it came with two 4 " stars for a USMC vehicle and my son mentioned he had seen stars on the tailgate in pics. My tail gate is embossed with AM General and I can't figure out where to put stars. I'm now reading that only the early Humvees had this embossed tailgate which makes sens as my starting point is a 1985 M998. So, I'll leave the stars off.I think I may have an extra “embossed” one.
I remember someone had letters in red white and blue? Can’t remember for the life of me who or where? I know someone did……

So, not for a USMC vehicle. I'll put them in stock for another vehicle that we will mark Army. I have an M715 in the shop, but would use white vinyl on that one. I can always use the vinyl as a paint mask.star denotes a CONUS US Army HMMWV, placed on the tailgate and Hood

Call your local tire shops that do alignments. I know some of the Les Schwab stores around here can do it, but not all of them have the correct equipment.Anyone know where i could get a wheel alignment done or checked at least.

Any shop that has a wide enough tire alignment jig (often a commercial shop) can do it. Note, for the sake of your wallet, toe is the only thing you should have adjusted on the rear. (Caster isn't adjustable, and camber requires physical shims to be added/subtracted and this is where it can get REALLY expensive!)Anyone know where i could get a wheel alignment done or checked at least.
