    Help with H1 purchase

    Been there and done that with the deuce. Nice trucks for certain and simple, but I've always wanted a HMMWV. I know it's an impractical vehicle, but you only live once and that life is VERY short. Thus, my desire to buy one. I'd prefer some help on what to look for as opposed to...

    Help with H1 purchase

    Off MV subject sort of, but. I am considering buying an H1 (the military HMMWV is too austere for me at my age--I need AC). My price range is under 50K. Preferably 40K. What do I need to look for? Are all Hummer H1s essentially the same? Will I have a difficult or impossible time finding...

    Correct trailer for a M1009

    I believe you want an M101A2 series trailer. Also an M116A2. These are 3/4 to 1 ton trailers that would tow nicely behind your CUCV. Others may correct me if I am wrong.

    Thinking of buying a M116A3

    Chris, I've got this trailer I assembled from parts from an old M103A3. I'll sell you the trailer for cheap. The Mep003 is not included.

    M1008 hub diameter

    Anybody know the exact diameter of the hub on an M1008? I need to know the diameter where the wheel mounts. In other words, what is the center wheel hole diameter? Are the front (dana 60) and rear (14 bolt) the same? Lastly, is the HMMWV wheel hole diameter the same?

    Memphis Equip Auction roadtrip? Hi-rollers?

    Is it logical to assume that since they are keeping the store in Memphis open that they really won't be offering great deals? I mean, they seemed to have whipped everyone into a frenzy about closing a store and leaving PA. However, they still need an inventory for the other (main) store...

    Inspection needed @ JAX Fl.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think inspection is dissallowed. When I picked up my last trailers, they had been pulled aside into a holding area. I never even saw any more trailers. However, the fellows that helped me were exceptionally nice, helpful, and patient. Dunno. I'm headed back...

    Hybrid question (HMMWV rims)

    I measured the backspace and its nearly 8 inches (crude measurment). At that depth it will hit the king pin. No go. Thanks for offer help Tenn col.

    Hybrid question (HMMWV rims)

    Did the research and I understand that the HMMWV rims won't fit on the front Dana 60 of the M1008. Or on my K5 which has a Dana 60. However, I have crossover high steering and no need of the tire rod "seats" or 'arms' on the knuckles. Is this where the rub is--literally? If so, couldn't I just...

    Inherited a 77 M880 ... sandy color, registered as NGOUNG

    BobH, Nice truck. I like the look of that truck. How were the 880s geared? Are they as good as an M1008? As easily modified?

    Bunnell, florida

    Travis, I figured it was 2 hours from my house--you flying or driving to Bunnell? James, how've you been? Your signature line hasn't grown any more--I thought we'd see a Walker Bulldog on there by now (ha). Hope things are well. Also, I can head that way too if it's for a fine redhead!
