The simple answer is to order the OD inner/outer wheel powder coat option re-centered HUMMER rims, mount your tires on them, and try to sell the rims outright. I did not opt for the rock rings. From: http://www.trailworthyfab.com/12-Bolt-Hummer-Wheel-Using-Flat-Centers.html If you call them...

I bought my stock 24v M725 that was once a Fire Department acquired vehicle for a Civil Defense role. I tried to keep it stock. I chose to "military-mod" it with re-centered HUMMER rims and tires, a custom-built "military-look" rear tire carrier/bumper, a pair of black Chrysler stow-and-go...

When I was stationed in Bremerhaven Germany at the LORAN Site, '78-81, the 606 TCS had an OD green M725 parked in front of their HQ building. They had two medical technicians on staff that screened personel for medical treatment, and they deployed whenever they did a "rally-round-the-flagpole"...

If you are talking about the u-bolt nuts, I call it stronger than snug...

Metexaco, Your M725 "page" has a picture of an M725 with a plywood door between the front and the back. Mine also has a plywood door. Was that how they came from the factory?

GimpyRobb, What do you mean? You said: "Don't get those with the 8 bolts holding the rim together, they blow beads alot. Do some searching for Hmmvw 8bolt rims!" I have HUMMER re-centered wheels from TrailworthyFab com. Custom Hummer Wheels They have 8-bolts holding the rim together, with a...

m715 Wheels Bob, Do you need to purchase M715 rims to have a stock of centers? If so, let us know. I may have four split rims to sell you that I could leave in Goldsboro NC for you in August.

I have a civilian distributor on a military engine. I have the 1-barrel Holly 1920 carburetor. There is a sticky on M715zone.com about the vacuum advance for the 2-barrel carb. It is a nice write-up, but it does not help me. The fire department mechanic tied the vacuum advance line to a "T"...

M715 parts Yes, this is a good "find". Go also to M715 Zone - Powered by vBulletin and see how many 715 owners there are on this site. They also have a "for sale" forum. Winch alone is worth $1 to 1.5 K. Many parts are hard to find. Good luck! Right now I'm trying to get my M725...

Tires BJs Wholesale Club is like Sam's Club.

Tires Do you have a BJs near you? They gave me a quote recently for my M725. BF Goodrich recently added a "rock crawler" line, similar in size, but they are very expensive compaired to 16.6 tires that the surplus dealer in Texas is selling.

bcowanwheels, When I brought my M725 home, it had a broken right rear (forward facing) spring mounting post. In removing the spring to fix it, I had serious problems getting the spring off. It seems the spring mounting posts and shackles were never greased and had seized-up. Now, in trying...
