Skinny - you and I have no problem. I just didn't appreciate the fellow from Alabama busting in like he did. I was just about to order a set of the Centromatics. If you want to sell yours, PM me. Thanks.

Respectfully, in response to the gentleman from Alabama - I intend to run the HMMWV wheels because I want the beadlock capability so I can lower the tire pressure for better traction in snow or mud without danger of the tire breaking loose from the rim. I am assuming you know how these wheels...

What is the thread of the lugnuts? Is this information listed anywhere in the TM? I believe they are 9/16" x 18. If anybody can confirm this I will greatly appreciate it.

OK, I have found my steel spacers from an outfit in Texas. He said they come with 14 x 1.5 studs and locknuts for my M1028. Does this sound correct?

Thanks everyone for your comments. I will purchase steel spacers. Now to find the best source............

I am putting together a set of 12-bolt HMMWV wheels to run on my M1028 during the summer months. I understand that I need to run 2" spacers on the front to compensate for the wheel's offset, and I also intend to run the spacers on the rear for proper tire tracking and looks. The spacers are...

Back surgery is postponed until I get both knees replaced. Right knee replacement scheduled for February 23, left knee a few weeks after that.

If your starter is the original OEM unit, I would quickly find a starter rebuild shop and have the unit rebuilt. This can usually be done in a day or two, probably as fast as UPS could deliver a new Chinese piece of junk. And in addition, if you go with a new Chinese direct drive unit, you...

What's wrong with a little fender trimming?

The photo below is said to be the correct jack for M151. Can somebody verify this and also tell me the lifting capacity of the jack? Thanks.

I would like to install some insulation and sound deadening material to the back of the cab behind the seat in my M1028. I considered applying some peel & stick such as DynaMat or FatMat, however it seems like something else should be applied over this such as carpet or something to hide the...

Well, one thing is for certain - You fellas certainly know a lot more than I do about such matters. This thread has produced some very lively and informative posts. I appreciate all of them. So I guess I will now ask the question - What is the largest inverter my M1028 could run safely at...

Thanks everyone for your comments, which have enlightened me greatly. I will heed your advice and install a smaller inverter in the truck and opt for a small Honda portable unit in the tool chest. Another Question - Would a 1000 watt inverter be within the truck's regenerative capability...

Skinny - Thanks for your comments. You have stimulated me into additional thought regarding the inverter size. I had already planned on purchasing a small Honda generator for emergency situations and keeping it in my truck tool chest. Maybe I should downsize the inverter capacity and rely on...

Skinny - Thanks for your comments. Here's a link to the inverter - http://www.theinverterstore.com/3000-watt-24-volt-pure-sine-wave-inverter.html# My truck has never been muddy and will never be muddy. It sat on a National Guard base in Arizona for 25 years. When I bought it in 2010 it had...

Skinny - I intend to permanently mount it. And I plan to mount it inside the cab so it is accessible while in transit to power one or more computers and a ham radio. The unit is only 3-1/2" tall so it may fit under the seat, or mounted on edge behind the seat. I still need to determine where...

Keith, thanks for the info. I will buy the 24 volt model. My next question, where is the ideal connection location under the hood?

I plan on installing a 3000 watt Pure Sine power inverter in my M1028 to provide 120 volt AC to power electronic equipment during emergency situations. AIMS offers these with DC imputs of both 12 and 24 volt. http://www.theinverterstore.com/3000-watt-24-volt-pure-sine-wave-inverter.html...

I just purchased 6 new BFG 37 x 12.5 x 16.5 BAJA T/A radials. I will post photos in my rebuild thread when I get these mounted. Thanks everybody for your comments !

Peter - the first link does not work but the second does. Thanks. I will be running standard HMMWV 12-bolt wheels, so I will need 2" spacers. The 12-bolts will simply bolt on. I am not a big fan of re-centered wheels or aluminum wheel spacers. I am spending my daughter's inheritance...
