My 5 ton plan is still my primary plan and I'm getting closer to making the purchase, I just wanted to see if the hmmwv could do the bulk of my work and save me a few headaches in CMV paperwork. BUT, since I'm getting the very strong impression that it cannot do what Id need it to do (and yes I...

I'm sorry, maybe I should've been more clear. I want to be able to tow 35k @ 65mph and be able to reach speeds of 80mph unloaded. After an engine swap and rear-differential swap, I dont see why this would be hard to accomplish. If you could explain why it would seem like a stretch, I'd...

Hello all, I am looking for some advice on the hmmwv, I don't personally own one yet, but am very serious about buying one. I have some questions/concerns about the drive-train for the truck. Firstly, although I greatly appreciate the unique nature of the stock hmmwv engine, when i buy one, I...

Hey guys, I am relatively new to the site, been looking through all the threads trying to collect solid advice on the best M998 builds outhere but am getting quite a few mixed messages. So I figured i'd start a thread just for the best opinions out there. I am looking to buy an M998 from one of...

I have seen it with the singles on it as well. Came across this video of a M916 being used as a logging truck but turned the rear axles into duals fitting two of the 395's. Anybody ever done this/ know how to do it? Looks amazing, & if I can figure out how to do it to a 915 I probably will...

This is all great advice, thank you all so much! From the sound of it, it'd be in my best interests to spend a little more and buy an M915 and throw on the 395 tires to get the off-road capabilities i'm looking for. Fuel economy is reasonably important, so I wont go with an M916, and if I ever...

Thank you, so at what approximate weight limit would the 931 begin to fail?

Neat NDT. Thank you! By the way, also in reference to what tobys pointed out, I know it is a bit high, and for that reason I am also looking at M915's so in your experience NDT, have you ever had any problems getting stuck with your M915 off road? I make alot of material deliveries to pretty...

Hey guys, I am brand new to this site, I've read plenty of threads and stuff on here before, but never became a registered user until today. I could use some wisdom from you veteran users with a situation I have. I am looking to buy either a M923 or M931 to use as a commercial motor vehicle in...
