    ACTUAL HMMWV width?

    My efforts have confirmed this statement. I was hoping that inflating the tires decreased the width to something that would work on a trailer. The following image shows 85" from tire to tire and it looks like they're running low pressure: The next image shows 86": Further head...

    Govplanet Sales Tax

    I'm about to get into this game. Bought one of the M1123s in GA and was charged 7% combined for GA state and local county sales taxes. EUC hasn't cleared yet, but I wanted to see what had to be done to get the refund. I've seen a mention about timing so I don't want to miss my window and get...

    ACTUAL HMMWV width?

    Agreed, but the width might be referring to the overall width on the outside of the fenders on that particular trailer. Calling 3 local United Rentals, the largest distance between the fenders that they had on the lot was 83".

    ACTUAL HMMWV width?

    That I see, that trailer doesn't specify that 90" is between the fenders.

    ACTUAL HMMWV width?

    I feel like I have checked everywhere in a 50 mile radius. Sunbelt Rentals, United Rentals, Herc (used to be Hertz) equipment rentals, the big trailer companies, I even messaged people with trailers on Craigslist to see if I can rent their trailer that is for sale. Not a single deck over...

    ACTUAL HMMWV width?

    I'm having a nearly impossible time finding a trailer that fits the Humvee according to various specs and measurements for the HMMWV width from the outside of tire to tire. Yet when I look online I see people using U-haul trailers for their M998, and I see HMMWVs on what looks like several 7'...

    M1123 Purchase and Build Thread - Virginia

    I've seen those as well, but there's really no way to do it that doesn't take away from the flexibility of the truck. At the moment I'm leaning towards selling it.

    M1123 Purchase and Build Thread - Virginia

    A guy within 3 miles from me has several Humvees. One was a 2 door woodland camo truck, but the guy hates 2 doors and woodland camo. He took everything off and threw it in the corner and painted his truck tan. And ultimately he sold it to me for a great price. I will be finishing this as a 2...

    M1123 Purchase and Build Thread - Virginia

    Okay... so I'm hoping the mods understand this is a different topic than other M998/M1038 HMMWV threads because I will discuss titling... I messaged Warthog and got no response, and I just received another PM question about an M1123 from another gentleman in VA. The goal of this thread is to...

    Issues with SF-97

    I've been eyeing a few auctions for a while, but will have to calm my spending after all of this Humvee stuff... much to my surprise, M1102 prices on GovPlanet have shot up. They used to be $500 or $600, rarely over $1000. Now they seem to be selling in the $1500-$2000 price range. You can...

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    You just have to make sure that the raised fender wells are wide enough to allow your Humvee to roll through. Here are the dimensions I'd go by: http://olive-drab.com/images/hmmwv_dims.jpg I don't really trust the rental guys to go out and measure with a tape measure to be honest... I've been...

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    Which HMMWV do you have? You'll be awfully tight with that max towing load. My HMMWV will be 5,950 lbs curb weight. And you're not going to find a trailer that is 500 lbs to tow it. I'll be renting a trailer from an equipment rental company like Sunbelt, United Rentals, etc. I will be...

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    I'm in a similar boat. I'm borrowing a truck and renting a trailer and going to pick it up. I'll save the adventures for after I own it and know it a little better. :-)

    If she was breastfeeding an M1102, would that topless image be okay? I'll take a donation of one. /nudge nudge

    Issues with SF-97

    Ha! I think I've already spent somewhere in the $1500 range. I have windshields, retainers, soft doors, hinges, straps, top and rear curtain, cargo divider, troop seats, auxiliary lighting, back-up lamps, ignition switch, rivet guns, rivets, bolts, tools, and hardware for all of the previously...

    Issues with SF-97

    /Slowly raises hand... Part of my problem is I bought one of the incomplete M1123 trucks. So I keep going back to look to see if it has the little things like... a door striker. Or... a center windshield retainer bracket. Or... etc, etc. So I keep finding new things I'll need and I'm...

    Did no one get approved in the last few days? This therapy thread only works if I see SOMEONE is getting their new toy. :clinto:
