    New guy in NC, M1123 needs some love

    Whoops, fat fingered my reply. Core charges and shipping may make a reman model not seem attractive. See my $11k+ quote from meltons. Months ago meltons had a reman motor selling for like 3k plus shipping but no core charge because it had been a canceled order or somet.hing

    New guy in NC, M1123 needs some love

    I'm looking at the takeout motors as well. People say good things about the eastern surplus motors? The risk in my perspective is having some webbing crack or something waste the whole investment. The alternative which im considering, for a couple thousand more, is a reman long block. As I...

    Dimensions for the 4 troop cover bows

    Dimensions for the 4 troop cover bows

    I have a troop cover but no bows. This is the least popular and ugliest hmmwv configuration, but I love the versatility of a 2 man pickup with the covered bed. Eastern Surplus will solve my lack of bows problem for around $340 after shipping but I'd rather put my skills to work and build my...
