    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    The color is an old WWII German Panzer green with an extra shot of black. My buddy came up with it for his Pinzgauer 712M and I painted my M101A2 to match so when I got my M998 I went the same way. The M101A2 fits the lines of the Pinzgauer perfectly. Mark

    Largest Box on 1083/1088

    A one time ship connex box would be my choice. A great positive with moving the spare tire is you could fab up a pass through from the cab to the box. The spare tire is a real problem and I'm not sure where I would put the damn thing. Please keep up updated as to the progress. Mark

    Blown head gasket or something else?

    If you suspect a head gasket leak then you need a product like below. It will let you know one way or the other. It looks for exhaust gases in the coolant. Hope this helps. Mark Exhaust gas tester

    Hard doors vs. soft doors opinions

    The theft issue is a big deal. I have two blink cameras on mine. One on the dash and one mounted out the pass bed side watching my M101A2. I absolutely get that the real X-Doors are big bucks but they are soooo much better than the soft doors. When I got my set I only had to replace one glass...

    THE PLASTIC — Tail light housing and side marker light housing

    I tried the cheaper stuff and I can tell you it fades quick compared to the rustoleum. It also flakes more. Been there done that and won't do it again. Mark

    Registering a late model HMMWV in MA

    I would highly suggest you go to the Taunton MA. RMV as they are the most knowledgeable of the branches. With mine I was able to get it registered with our 6 digit ser number and the style of the truck is a pickup. This location was recommended to me when I was looking to get my M998 on the...
