    HMMWV Open Market Purchase Price - Not Auction

    Man that's amazing. When you look at what 4 wheelers and larger ATVs cost, like 4 seat Kawasaki Mules, you'd think that there would be thousands of deer hunters that instead of showing up at the deer lease with a $18,000 Kubota side by side, would spend the same or better on showing up with a...

    HMMWV Open Market Purchase Price - Not Auction

    What do you think the real market value is for an HMMWV today? Without the ability to make them road-legal, you have limited the market to just people wanting hunting vehicles, maybe agricultural uses, and recreation uses like a dune buggy perhaps. The Dallas/Fort Worth Craigslist has three...

    What Is The Consensus On Deuce Bed Covers? Vinyl or Canvas? And Where Can I Buy One?!

    Oh really? When I think vinyl I think tarp flapping itself to pieces as I drive, but maybe this is not a correct thought process... Never seen one up close..

    Wheel Pattern For M998 Same As M1123???

    I am looking at purchasing a set of 37" mil issue BFG tires on M1123 wheels for my M998. Are the bolt patterns and such the same?? I hate to assume they are.. I am looking at buying the wheels and tires, frame rails (which I dont need), cross members (also dont need) and instrument cluster...

    Anyone Install A Regular Receiver Hitch on an HMMWV??

    Thinking about being able to pull regular trailers around the property with my HMMWV. The pintle "claw" type hitch doesn't help me any. Anyone have a common solution that they would recommend?

    HMMWV Doors - Hard or Soft?

    My V came sans-doors... So now I am starting the process of seeing who sells doors, and how much they cost.. Looks like my options are hard "X" doors or soft doors. Are the hard doors worth the premium? Seems like these trucks aren't exactly weather/water/wind proof by design and soft doors...

    What Kind of Brakes Does The M101A3 Have?

    I see connections for brakes on the A3 or A2 that look like air brakes like a big rig? Does this have air brakes that lock without air being supplied to it? I need to be able to tow it with a civilian 3/4 ton truck with no air brakes obviously.
