    Question about rim nuts (not lug nuts) on 24 bolt even-spaced rims

    I have the porter cable electric impact. It is a beast.

    HMMWV CARGO EXTENSION KIT ON 4 MAN HARD TOP

    I have the four man setup and I setup the modified two man troop seats to fit the four man setup. The standard four man cargo cover will not fit this setup unfortunately as it is too wide with the troop seats. I replace the old side boards with mahogany 1x6s. Mark

    Question about rim nuts (not lug nuts) on 24 bolt even-spaced rims

    Lock nuts makes sense. Anything to keep them tight in the field Mark

    Question about rim nuts (not lug nuts) on 24 bolt even-spaced rims

    The studs and nuts have an anti rust coating applied to them and I would venture that is causing the issue you are experiencing. A Little light oil on the studs will help. If you cleaned them up with a wire brush that's about all you can do. I've touched up my studs and nuts (where needed)...

    Is this wheel unusable?

    I would never use wheels that are in that shape. Just my .02 cents Mark

    X DOORS

    They look fixable but will definitely take some work to get them in order. You may have to replace some or all of the glass due to laminate separation. Unfortunately the price is about right for the market right now. Mark

    Is this a KDS Smart start system protective box?

    No other markings on the box? More pics might help. I would be concerned. Mark

    So how much can an M998 HMMWV pull in a pinch?

    Great observation. Mark

    Behr paint test.

    I don't believe painting the stack with Behr paint would be a good idea. Besides the heat you have contraction and expansion and that may make the paint flake off over time. If you do paint it with the Behr please keep us updated on the performance. Interesting question. Mark

    Mike’s Mechanical Mules

    It will actually save money for the family. It would have been wrong not to buy them. Lol

    M101A2 Trailer tire change to modern tires?

    On my M101A2 I went with the Kenda Klever A/T Tires 265/75R16 LRE 10PR. I like the look and they are a tad wider than the 235/85/16. Mark

    Went and did it again…

    Women love it when you surprise them with expensive gifts you bought for yourself. They love to see you happy no matter what you spend. If you agree with the above I have this bridge for sale real cheap and you can install tollbooths and make a fortune. The price is so low it should be...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Make that Softcom intercom.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    My Sigtronics intercom runs on a 9V battery or I can hook it up to run on 24v which is aircraft voltage. A 9v lythium lasts forever in truck with me using it here and there. Glad to see others have gone the aviation route. Mark

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Nice! I run a portable setup. A Sigtronics four place intercom and four Fightcom DX5 headsets. I really like your setup. Mark

    Recommended tire pressure

    I went a little higher with my 24 bolt MTRs as it helped smooth out the vibrations of the tires. Made it ride a little stiffer but this truck will never be looked upon as comfy anyway. I had a tiny leak in one of my tires and found it would go down to less than 10psi before you notice the tire...

    Alternator bracket bolts

    Oh I completely agree with torque being a main consideration. Is there room in the head to drill and tap for a larger stud? And I understand using a harder bolt if that breaks it can make removing more problematic. Just a bad design for the heft of the alternator. Mark
