Okay, switched from 6TLs to Optimas based on advice of people thatknow more than I do. As I tightened the terminals which were a perfect fit on 6TLs they kept rising! No grease on posts. required quite a lot of torque. Are Optima posts smaller or more tapered? The red rubber covers made...

Recovery at Ft. Hood today. Great service from Gov Planet Rep. Inspection report spot on!

Been having some battery issues on M998. Have been prying the black cover off of + terminal cover to check voltage. Each time figuring the red part of the cover was going to tear. Finally drilled .080 hole in black cover so multimeter probe would go through to terminal. Don't plan on fording...

Have 6TL batterys thatshow 25.5 V . With engine running show 28.5V at batterys and voltmeter barely in the green. With load,head lights on, still shows 28.5. Has jumped to 29 a few times. TM says voltmeter needle should be in middle of green at 28.5. My question is change voltmeter or just...

Instructions are pretty straight forward, however it does not mention that the grill may hit the rear braces of the bumper when the hood is raised. If raised vigorously enough you might damage grill. To prevent this the hood prop rod needs to be shortened. I cut mine at the L shaped bend and...

Saw these mentioned but not where you get them. Seems like a good repair for rust holes where most of the rocker is in good shape. Don't weld anymore. Want to do more than just bondo the rust like the previous owner. Advertised as rust free! I knew better but hope springs eternal...

Asking for opinions. My first M1009. Dash is black, replaced by previous owner. Door panels faded burgundy, as are seats. Going to redo doors. Window seals are shot, etc. Thinking about spraying door panels black to match the dash. Have Jatonka OD seat covers so their color is not an issue...

I know this has been discussed before but want to be sure that the rhino carrier does not position the spare so that it interferes with the surge brakes on M1102. I know there is a pintle extension but don't want to install unless I must. Thanks, Bob

Does anyone make/sell the reinforcing plates that go in the front fender wells at the back? Couldn't find them in LMC catalog. There is a left and a right. Could fabricate but has 2 channels pressed in and flat plate would not be a good fit. Thanks

Picked up M1102 today at Ft. Hood. 2010, newest radials I bought! Was told Gov. Liquidation has one more lot before Gov planet takes over. Great service as always, hope it doesn't change. Sooner or later the M1101/M1102 should be gone.

Is Texas now charging sales tax on cargo trailers, such as M1101, M1102? Haven't had to pay it before. Thanks, Bob

Does the Ibes Tek front bumper come with all the parts to attach to a non winch bumper 1994 H1?

When I unloaded cargo cover from bed of M1101 I found 4 pieces of tan vinyl material 24X13 inches and 4 pieces of OD vinyl 23X11 inches. Looked through entire manual and could find no mention of these. The tan ones are about 1 inch wider than the metal panels that support the top. Could they...

Odds caught up with me on M1101 recovery at Ft. Hood. Checked hubs after mile or so and driver side pretty warm, other side ok. Found Centex trailer in Nolanville, south of Killeen. Owner, Dan Watson, nice guy. Could not get to it that day so we left it picked it up following week. Hub nut...

A friend who works as DA civilian and is retired military told me that all the M1101 and M1102 trailers are being removed from inventory. Has anyone else heard that and is there a replacement. There seems to be a lot of them for sale on GL. Over 80 at last Ft. Hood sale. Prices seem...

Installed airlift bumper without any help. Real proud of myself. Had to remove 1 clamp to get slack in trailer harness. Installed plug without twisting harness not looking a letters on face of plug. Got some interesting results when connected to M1102 trailer. The plug was 90 degrees off. Am I...

Picked up M1102 today at Ft. Hood. Andrew, GL employee, was very helpful and even advised me to check hub temp after a few miles. M1102 is 2011 manufacture with new tires. No sign of unit markings. Overall, looks new except for some paint fading. I am pleased with purchase since I did not...

new guy. old question. 1009, 80,000 miles, average condition, rust etc. fair price in todays market. I really appreciate this site. Thanks, Bob

new guy, just need an idea before looking at one tomorrow. Hope this is the right place to ask. thanks, Bob

Just got a new sign kit, vehicle class . Never installed one and no instructions. What holds the numbers on the studs? The "C" plate goes on top of them but does not look very secure. Also, on 998 HMMWV I've seen pictures of placement on right side of hood, grill, and brush guard. What's...
