    Tire /wheel question

    I was trying to find recommended minimum and maximum rim widths for the g177's, but no luck. Also wondering if the bead thickness will work with the rubber bead lock inserts. These are going on a ford F700, singled.

    Tire /wheel question

    I searched, but couldn't find an answer, so...... Has anyone put 11.00R20 G177's on the 10" x 20" bolt together 5 ton combat wheels? I like the look and safety of the bolt together rim, and the bead lock feature.But want the G177's for durability.

    Bobbed HMMWV

    I would probably put a 5.3 crate motor with a 400 or 700r4 (whichever is shorter) or another compatible short auto. Then I would need to find a 2 hi compatible transfer case that will tolerate the front drive shaft turning all the time. And probably shift the whole drive train as forward as...

    Bobbed HMMWV

    I have 2 brand new left & right frame rails for one of the trucks(good template), but the other one has cut frame rails (not enough to make a full truck). The good thing is they are not like most cut frames, there is substantial length from both ends(only a few inches shy of complete).And one of...

    Bobbed HMMWV

    I have seen the pics online of the bobbed hmmwv. I thought it would make a great father son project for a first car . I am not chopping up a whole hmmwv, but building one from almost 2 hmmwv's worth of parts in the back yard. Does anyone know who built it or where/if there is a build thread on...

    Gear hub question

    Glad to contribute. I am sure that i will learn way more from you than the other way around. Am i on the best site for hmmwv stuff? I have always been here for CUCV and Deuce stuff, but it seems the hmmwv forum is a bit light. Or did i just buy into a small crowd..lol

    Gear hub question

    Anyone know the timken bearing numbers for the gear hubs? I have a couple of gear hubs that look suspect, and figured I might as well rebuild all 4 during the chassis build.

    New HMMWV owner....sorta....questions?

    No title, but NCDMV has assured me that building it from pieces they will issue a "custom built" title. Harder way to street legal one, but the only legal way. People may regret circumventing the intent and titling the "whole" hmmwvs that are being sold now. I didn't want to pay 20k plus for a...

    New HMMWV owner....sorta....questions?

    Yes, I am afraid I have bought into an expensive project. I have a 6BT that will go in it, just have to hunt down a trans/transfer case that will be suitable. I have a body that has been cut into 3 chunks (supposedly have all the repair panels), 2 brand new shiny frame rails, complete rear...
