Keep in mind that you might find either of the types of spring upper mounts in the rear. For the cast mounts you will run the rear springs longer. For the welded mounts they end up the same height springs for front and rear (but you can tune length for your average loaded weight) Just...

hmmwv is full time 4wd. There are civilian versions that are selectable. The military version is not. https://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/transfer-cases/np242

just about every one I've seen was sold to the public as part of the BEOD (Body, Explosive Ordnance Disposal). For the price of just the rack selling on the secondhand market, I got the rack WITH my BEOD.

NP242 should be the only one used in A2 trucks. The parts manual clearly shows that for your truck (Usable On Code C17) uses NSN 2520014092512 for the transfer case. That transfer case comes up as the NP242 when searched. all the manuals for your truck are posted here, and the parts manuals...

the friction modifiers shouldn't do any harm. the hubs on A2 and newer trucks are all CTIS versions.

M161 Alley Cat experimental vehicle. Story I heard is they put out a contract to build some trucks using all the leftover M151 parts. About 60 of them were made, and most ended up down in south america.

for a 2 door soft top you could probably use the camouflage storage rack as a mounting point, if you can find one. Rear is just flat feet that bolt down to the top of the B-pillar, so could probably be used with a 4 door soft top as well (but might look a little funny?)

I put on mud flaps with some 2" angle iron, and cheap mud flaps from NAPA. used 20 mil PVC tape from the irrigation section of home despot as a physical barrier between the aluminum body and steel angle iron. Bolted the angle iron to the bottom of the fender below the tail lights, then bolted...

I'm assuming that is sarcasm aimed at the "massively overpriced government contract parts" line I said above (sorry, it's sometimes hard to distinguish sarcasm from other types of statements on the internet sometimes) There is a certain amount of cost in manufacturing a part. In comparison to...

it's not ground clearance so much as the departure angle changes quite a bit compared to a truck without it. Even worse angle if you add a 2" receiver than hangs below the bumper.

yes, they point to the shackles that are rated for the truck to be airlifted by. I've also seem bumpers with "sling and tie down" stenciled on them, with no mention of airlift. To steal a picture from elsewhere:

wolfer has a reputation for selling parts that are junk. There is no way they can meet the specs as laid out by the government contract, and then have them be more durable or whatever they are claiming than the government specs. There really isn't any way to build parts that exceed the specs...

Just because people refer to something using certain terms doesn't make them official. In the parts manual the "airlift bumper" is simply referred to as "bumper, vehicular" No mention of airlift anything it also shows braces going from the frame to the outer ends of the bumper. These braces...

In the parts manual the M1123 is UOC (Useable On Code) "NNN" All of the A2 variant trucks (4 speed non turbo trucks) are 12k drivetrain components Only thing you need to pay attention to other than that is there are a couple things different on the engine or related systems for trucks with a...

currently I'm running Goodyear MT tires because the ones I have look in decent shape, aren't terribly old (less than a decade is good enough for me) and because it's what I have. The set of goodyear MT/R I got a couple years back developed major sidewall cracks within a year of mounting them so...

Yes. That is what I meant but didn't state the connection between the two statements, so thank you for clarifying.

Centramatics or Blalancemasters do work. I have had Centramatics on mine for the past couple years and the difference is amazing, especially with how many times I've swapped out the tires on rims or tire/wheel assemblies, and not done any type of balance on them.

you guys know this forum also has a TM section with the HMMWV manuals in it as well? For A0/A1 and A2 series trucks (includes M1123 because it is an A2 series truck) all operator, maintenance, and parts manuals. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/tms-for-the-m998-series-hmmwv.78861/ 6.5L...

https://www.psmagazine.army.mil/News/Article/2493071/m1097r1-hmmwv-order-transmissions-by-serial-number/ If your unit has the M1097R1 HMMWV, NSN 2320-01-346-9317, with a retrofitted engine, check the serial number before ordering a new transmission for the vehicle. M1097R1 HMMWVs with...

For a hitch you'll be best served buying the one from BlackDog, rather than one that bolts in place of the pintle hook. The pintle is too high up for most civilian trailers, and the further away you get from the "bumper" that it goes on, the more leverage. The "pinball" type that are a flat...
