    HMMWV w/e?

    Good theory but what about a truck that has a winch it says W/W not W/W W/E together so I don't think it's enhancements since winch trucks get enhancements too.

    Lug nuts damaging the rims.

However IF its legal and the OP wants to do...

    5 passenger legal?

    I spent plenty of time manning the turret in Iraq when I was in so I know the risks involved.

    Options for mounting spare in HMMWV bed

    Pre-Buy jitters, Reliability nightmare horror stories... Please Help.

    The nightmares horrid reliability problems your vet buddies tell you about Mainly stem from a crappy maintenance team and more importantly weather or not the private working on the truck cares or not. im sure you would care for it many times more than a fresh 18 year old "mechanic".

    Good / Bad Comments About HMMWV's??

    aside from the normal reactions. I have noticed that jeepers wave quite often and seem interested in the vehicle and hummer h2 and 3 drivers seem to avoid contact. and if someone asks about the mileage I tell em it gets 35mpg on a newly designed experimental engine.

Cut 4 tabs out 1/8 x 1 steel flat bar maybe 3 inch long if i remember correctly. attached the tabs to the bar so they lined up with the mirror bolt holes. the bolts go through mirror mounts and trough the tabs into the windshield...
