    Turbo setup on a 6.2 (hot side)

    I have tapped pressurized oil galley's to run turbos on chevy 5.3/6.0 truck engines. I'm not going to play forced induction on my hmmwv due to the fact I have no use for it, but I bet my lunch money that you can engineer a n/a block to run a turbo. It's all time, and a good welder.

    hmmwv 6.2 7 cylinder

    Hope you didn't pay too much for it.... That said, you can try to put a claim on it, but it'll be denied. Since it's missing a bunch ole stuff, swap might be a cheaper option as surplus is no longer surplus for these trucks.... LOL :(

    Govplanet HMMWV initial bid set to 5000

    IMHO 3.5k is still high. Can buy the same carcasses left over on GL for scrap prices, but in little bitty pieces! Anyways, If they can get more money starting them out lower, and having a bidder frenzy. Why set a standard price?

    Need a Shipper in CA

    Post a u ship ad. I was in DE when mine was approved, and went u ship route. Everything was Charlie foxtrot so it didn't even get picked up till I got back... Good info on the aaa. Catch 22 on the commercial issue.

    HMMWV retrieval suggestions

    I had mine on a deck over.... Good thing as when the shipper picked it up, he was surprised to see 3 flats. Hope for the best, expect the worse.

    I don't think you'll have to worry that much with weight when you toss those heavy bead lock centers.

    HMMWV Open Market Purchase Price - Not Auction

    Can't discount those Kubota's. They are road legal where I live, and more times then naut you'll see the neighbors taking those into town. A hmmwv is demanding. If you know how to wrench, and have the desire they are just about as good as any 4x4 you can buy.

    Soft tops

    That's just getting out of hand now. Even the gl ones are going for way too much. Surplus ain't even surplus anymore. I'll ride this one out.

    HMMWV Open Market Purchase Price - Not Auction

    Have to factor in tax and buyer premium on the gp stuff. Unless you have a farm use tax then no taxes. The reason they're not sold is because they're over priced imho. You can't take a 5k hmmwv then turn around and sell it for 13k without doing any major work to it. Then half the time the...

    Good info. ^^ I noticed the bulbs are cheaper on Amazon (h4 24v), prolly because they can't even move stock...

    Backup lights - comments welcome

    I was considering that when I took my tail lights apart to change bulbs, I'm glad someone engineered it. How's the brightness during the day?
