Injuries are reportedly minor, thankfully. Happened in Bellingham Washington. (Didn't realize this was already posted and it's a JLTV. Oops) https://x.com/wspd2pio/status/1921308141058232449

If you ditch the two piece 16.5" rims for some 17" GT Cepeks then you'll have a wealth of tire choices.

Quite a few that have tags and I know of two that have licenses issued within the last year.

There used to be a couple over by Palmer Point in Cos Cob and they both had Connecticut plate. So as of maybe 4 years ago - yes.

New York is green, the DMV will plate a HMMWV.

Necessity being the mother of invention, I guess

Black Dog only sells the proper Wellman ones, so that's how you know without measuring. Had he said "certain other vendor" who I shall not name, I'd say that was the issue.

I'm going to trailer it off the lot on a car trailer that I use to move the HMMWV, so not worried about out-of-the-gate stuff. I can troubleshoot that at home. Just worried about buying a lemon or a dog. PS CSp is 6 hrs from me the other way, so you are way the heck into KS by my standards.

Thanks. Had seen yours and they are nice but they are at my "local" GP which makes it easy to run down and grab one. (Local = only a six hour drive) I figure I will take a pair of tires off my second truck to get the trailer home, then jack up the trailer until spring when I can get new tires...

I am thinking of getting one of the M1101 trailers that govplanet sells. The goal would be to modify into an overland camper with kitchen and permanent pop-up tent. I would appreciate any advice on particular pitfalls to avoid in terms of buying one out of the auction. I am aware the tires...

Those are the good ones, so you can rule out cheap glow plugs. Signs point to start box. If you decide to replace it, get the Camotek. https://www.camoteksystems.com/

What glow plugs did you use? The proper ones, or the Chinese ones? Also: get a glow plug removal tool. Chances are one or several of your plugs are swelled up and won't removed easily. https://blackdogcustoms.com/product/hmmwv-glow-plug-extractor-kit-w-glow-plugs/

What kit is that? Or is it homemade?

Turn it vertical and make a rack in my trailer for a scuba cascade system. They look like a perfect size.

Someone got a bargain, those racks alone are worth more.
