Just for reference. 1097a1 with Nissan Armada springs in the front. Moog 81085, 3/4 coil cut. I put the springs in without cutting and it was too much. Have done nothing to the back. About 2.5 lift. Tires are 40's.

Picked up a 2dr hmmwv and wonder what these brackets are for. One is by the tailgate the other on the hood. The tan brackets.

I got my first HMMWV in 2016, sold it about a year later. Just picked up another one and I think the HMMWV's at auction cost less than they did in 2016 but the parts are way more expensive.

7 days for Hmmwv out of WA. Auction 9/14, got EUC approval today 9/20. I had bought a Hmmwv back in 2016 so maybe that made it faster??

Bought an M998 off Govplanet back in 2016, had it a year or so and sold. I was over at my parents place this week and the neighbor pulled up in his HMMWV and it made me think I need another HMMWV in my life. Went to Govplanet and was surprised at what they are going for. Picked up a M1097...

I converted my humvee to a 1 wire 24v alternator and have 2 wires that im not sure what to do with. Everything has been working great for the past few months except the windshield wipers. They dont work at all and havent since the conversion. Worked great prior. The two wires that were...

hilarious...

Putting this out for those who don't know. I was looking around under my dash of my 88 m998 and noticed the steering wheel has a tilt adjustment. Just need a 9/16 wrench and a few turns. I've drove mine 1200 miles in 6 months and just figured this out.

Please post your progress. I have a 5.3l on a stand in the garage and have thought if the 6.2l takes a dive would the 5.3l be a viable option. Fortunately my 6.2l is running great. LS series of engines are a fantastic motors.

I'm not sure about the weight. I would guess the runflat portion weighs 20 lbs. The guy I bought the rims from had a couple tire shop guys remove the rims/runflats from the tires which he kept. After they figured out the first one the others came out very easy.

Paired rims.

I had posted one picture of these run flats in a prior post on 12bolt vs 24bolt rims. I thought I'd post a new topic with some additional pictures. No real questions just an fyI on a runflat I hadn't seen. Came with 24 bolt rims. I mocked them up on my old 12 bolt rims.

Forgot to mention there are two snowmobile drive belt looking deals on either side of the runflat that act as a bead lock.

I watched them dismount some new mtr tires from them. Must be the most current version runflats. As mentioned mfg date is 6/2015. Rims had never been mounted on a rig and tires were new. Seller wanted the tires for his 1/2 ton chevy. Had no use for the rims.
