    2000 mile road trip in an FMTV

    you will need gear oil for the front hubs ( they do dry out fast). I'd advise staying in the far right lane. Use a GPS and know your turns as you approach them.

    LMTV vs 5 TON

    LMTV is a airdrop vehicle , a M900 series truck is not. There are many pros on the M900 series trucks, hardly any cons. I own both , and I don't mind sharing.

    What's an M35A2 worth these days?

    $10K + , and would be free of any issues

    LMTV vs 5 TON

    I own both, in fact I own a little bit of everything I can get ! Well, with that said , no truck will ever be as general public consumer friendly as the M900 series trucks. The military demands these these trucks for their use , not ours. When airdrop became the best game on the planet, the LMTV...

    How much did you pay for your M998/humvee?

    Let's be clear about this ... rescued surplus=wholesale , after that, it's a retail transaction. The expectation of someone who wants to purchase MVs for the same price that someone else rescued one off Gov Planet is absurd. I am seeing this all the time! When the hammer falls, you gotta pay...

    LMTV Air Conditioner

    I might have an extra BAE heat/ac interior unit. I have 2 units , other being the SS model. I probably will sell the one I'm not using, but I'm not ready yet. I almost thought I shouldn't toss my hat in here not knowing what my timeline will be. Which unit is the best ?

    Is there a place local for 6TL battery exchanges ? I'm thinking about doing Optima Red Tops. I'm 20 mins from Burlington

    High Speed Gears vs. Detroit-style Locker ... difficult decisions to be made

    I'm in the same camp with you. I'm hoping to get more done on my M1078 come spring. I already have the high speed gears , and many other upgrades ready to go. Dropping RPMs can only be a good thing , and as NDT just said ... get it all done while you're at it.

    no power on M35A2C

    I agree 98G . I bought 31s with 900 CCA and they worked great. So yesterday I find a source for Optima Red Tops for $167 each. 3 year replacement warranty... 4 Wheel Parts stores

    no power on M35A2C

    calling around to find someone selling the Hawker, no luck so far . Sam's Club has Optimas , their Redtop AGM is suppoed to be good. I got a M923A2 out of surplus 3 years ago that had Optimas in it. They went bad on the way home. I had to replace the PCB on that truck a little bit later.too.
