    Can Hummer H2 wheels be mounted on hmmwv m998?

    With all the cheap, real HMMWV wheels and tires available why would you want to do this. Just asking...$175.00 for new radials with runflats seems like a bargain to me. I'm not selling them so just curious.

    Would you pay $17,000.00 for a M1009?

    Looking at all the modifcations I believe that the owner has a lot in this truck, especially if he paid a shop to do the work. This is a custom truck and not a restoration. A special buyer would need to want all these changes. Something to keep in mind if we stray too far from the original...

    New top on M151A2

    Put new top on M151A2 today. Asked soldier B to help. Used dish soap to lubricate the front bead and that helped. Top was really in good shape having been in box since 1987. The talc that was on top came off ok with Dawn and water. Goo gone got most of the rest. Looks really good! What a...

    Should I buy a M1009?

    I think the upper end of your budget is realistic,at least in my area. Be prepared to spend a few thousand more on tires, paint, brakes, hoses, belts, fluids, etc It really does add up. There will probably be some ongoing rust repair issues and you can save if you can do those yourself. I...

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    Thank you for this information. I learned the hard way about the bolt heads. Ended up getting them from AMG dealer who said I needed to upgrade to Nordlocks. Getting the lock washer out of the hub was stressfull!

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    I used new bolts and Nordlock washers on flange with Loctite. Also when installing fastener on shaft end in geared hub DO NOT drop the lock washer in the hub. It was a chore to get it out! Good luck.

    M416 paint

    Started on the M416 this week. Used my new needle scaler on the floor that had 3+ coats of paint and some surface rust but no perforation. Used paint mask and eye protection. Next time will add ear protection! Boy, it is loud when working in the bed with the scaler. Removed remaining paint...

    2 piece wheels

    Did not know about out-of-round issues. Maybe that is why my first set of radials wore so badly!

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    I tried to get my half shafts rebuilt at a local axle shop but once I said HMMWV, they did not want to mess with them! You could still check as all the parts are available.

    2 piece wheels

    I agree the one piece steel H1 rims would be a good option. It seems many H1 owners replaced these so there should be some out there. I replaced mine because the 2 piece military wheels and radials were cheaper than buying a new tire!
