Hypothetically a nice cargo cover kit I was hypothetically bidding on at GL got pulled. I guess I hypothetically know why now.

I bought a decent looking M998 for $5.5k before fees, I'll likely have $7.5k to get it here etc, and then a little more to set it right, but it runs and has most all of the parts already. If you intended to use it as they are being sold, an off road wheeler (farm truck for me) then I don't see...

I found this which might be helpful, it comes from here, and there are pictures: http://www.m2hb.net/m2phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2284 Finally, we were able to get back on the restoration. When James pulled the arm out of the machine, the broken torsion bar was discovered. However, removing it...

As far as using any MV for a DD it probably comes down to budget. While fuel and issues with parking come to mind, fixing the beast when it breaks, or just typical PM work is much more costly than even a 1-ton truck.

I submitted my paperwork for my M998 on 5/11/16 and it went to TSC today 5/19/16. This is my second in the last 12 months, so hopefully it will move along quickly. Update: EUC approved 5/31/16. 20 days from the auction end date! Something must be working!

Steelsoldiers, out of general interest, how is she holding up with the 6BT in there?

Wow, well it has been done, some great videos as well, some body lift required. http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?22201-6BT-Cummins-in-a-M998-HMMWV

Wreckerman isn't wrong, the maintenance isn't simple, big tools, another crane to move parts in and out of it. I will say mine doesn't leak, and it definitely has oil in it :-), then again it's nearly new. Given that the military ran the wrong oil in them their entire life, I can imagine that...

It might be difficult: http://www.dieselhub.com/tech/engine-dimensions.html The 6.2/6.5 is 30" long, the Cummins is 41.7", the width is 26" vs 28.6" and the height is 26" vs 37.8". From a dimension perspective it isn't going to fit. Next is the weight, the V8 is 750lbs versus the 1150lbs of...

They do very different things. You aren't going to get four people into a HEMTT due to the layout unless they are riding in the bed. You mentioned a double cab 5 ton, which of course is feasible. In both cases look at your zoning laws or HOA requirements, sounds like you live in the city...

I saw this some time ago: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?139720-Information-wanted-General-Dynamics-XM-966-HMMWV-prototype-program Looks like the General Dynamics version of the XM966.

That's great Spyderman!

Andy, I saw that too! Take a look for those doors, I would be happy to get them local to save on the shipping. I contact the ebay guy, I believe he changed it, and asked if I would like to buy some doors from him.

One soft door in the back it looks like!

Regarding the doors, I think I'll want to go soft skin, but I may build some appropriate AR500 doors at some point if the mood ever suits me.

Andy, I think this one will come to Lovettsville for some work before I send it to greener pastures. How's yours coming along? I'm sure I'll need some pointers! It's out in Kansas, so it will likely be trucked back some time in the distant future when my EUC clears....

Well, we need a smaller truck than the HEMTT around the farm, so a HMMWV seems to fit the bill and provide a factor of cool. Won this guy earlier in the week, it's a runner, but likely will need some work here and there. Brakes are reportedly soft, needs batteries, probably tires in the future...

Alco, is there any chance that someone could get one approved for shipment to Canada? How have the fires been up your way?

I just bought one, it has one X-style hard door, and a soft door laying in the back. I would love to snag three hard doors for it for under $1k
