    Holy Cow Batman.... GL HMMWVS

    They could only be bought by US Citizens located within the USA per the description. Perhaps BAE ran into issues with exportation and that is why they were still state side? If they were exportable I would think that BAE would have exported them as they could likely get more for them from a...

    Holy Cow Batman.... GL HMMWVS

    The descriptions all stated xx km on engine. I took that to mean that they were overhauls given that they were 7 years old. They all stated "for off road use" and that a document would be attached to invoice. (User agreement).

    Holy Cow Batman.... GL HMMWVS

    Who else was watching the overhauled HMMWVs that GL had listed? I can't understand who would pay that kind of money for one. These are still no title, off road use trucks. Unless another defense contractor bought them for export? Even then did they leave any room for profit margin? After taxes...

    flat tow HMMWV

    I was reflecting on the comment about towing one with the engine running so I attempted it today. Outcome is that the power steering makes it track poorly if the engine is running. It headed one way and I the other and I had to stop and crank the wheel around straight again. Keep in mind that...

    Paint Color on Navy 844A wheel loader

    It would have belonged to the Seabees. Perhaps there is someone here who was a seabee and can tell you better, but I think they use Marine Corp green like on Marine One. Federal Standard # 14097.

    Modern trucks needed for movie shoot in orlando(post Vietnam era)

    My name is Brad and I am married too.... I guess we have some things in common :D I really don't follow the entertainment industry much, so I wouldn't know who Angelina Jolee was or what she was in.

    Modern trucks needed for movie shoot in orlando(post Vietnam era)

    Are there any hot actresses in this movie? If I am not going to get paid I want to at least meet some hot actresses. What was the girls name in tomb raider? Is she going to be there?

    Just purchased 1991 Humvee M998

    I prefer the 2 man cargo configuration also. It reminds me of a m715

    Changing soft top, canvas color.

    Changing soft top, canvas color.

    My hmmwv had a tan top and camo cargo cover. I wanted them to sort of match so I changed the color of the tan top to green. Pretty simple to do and with a little practice you can make it look pretty decent. Ideally I would have removed the canvas prior to painting, but I just sprayed in place...

    The label on the d/c optima says that using them as a cranking battery, voids their warranty.

    Slantback sold last week at auction.

    I didn't think GP was going to be selling the slant backs, but just noticed this one sold last week. It is really rough and 21K after fees seems like a lot to spend on a top. Most of the truck looks like scrap to me. Link if anybody wants to look at the item listing...

    HMMWV Battery / Requirements

    CCA on the 6tl is 825. Pretty much nothing meets that and still fits the battery box. I just buy group 78 battery's which are just over 10 inch length and put out 800 CCA

    HMMWV Battery / Requirements

    6tls are spendy just fyi, but if you don't mind putting up the cash I think mil vehicles look best with the original battery configuration. That being said I try and buy trucks with good batteries, but when I have had to replace them I go with civi replacement batteries and adapt the battery...
