I'll through in my experiences with driving in snow and brakes in general. The HMMWV has a few things going against it for driving in snow on the roads. First are the stock tires. They work great in 3 feet of snow but on 1 inch they are nearly useless, they just aren't made for traction on...

Yes but no amount of tilting makes any more room. There is no other way to make additional room. I will be welding everything back together in the next couple of days as well as modifying the seat. I will be posting updates as I go.

Besides making more room with the steering column and seat mods, my plans for this year are 4L80 as mentioned above. Vic-3 Lite communications for driver/passenger intercom. And a custom install AC system.

I want to keep the military look and the stock directional signal controls. I did check out a H1 steering column and did not like the looks of it.

So it's been a while since I've posted to my thread. Since my last post my focus changed to a plow truck. Originally I bought a low mileage Duramax with a rusted out frame to use as a donor to do a Duramax conversion to this truck. I actually bought it the same day with those intentions...

The stock wheels are 8.5" and the Dodge are 8" In my thread I detail the differences in what tires fit. 37x12.50x17 have a wheel width of 8.5-10.5". I suspect you could put them on a 8" wheel but it is just outside the recommended width. There is a tire manufacturer that makes a 37x11.50x17...

I love the stock rims. I hate the tire choices for 16.5" rims. The only options are MT's - Mud Tires. I want AT's - All Terrain Tires. I have to switch to a 17" rim to have any choices. It the only reason I'm looking for different rims.

Yes, super glue. If the ends are cut nice and flat to each other, 1 drop of super glue will do it.

Any grommet of roughly the same size but a little larger will work. Take a razor and slice one side of the grommet then wrap it in the hole until it over laps, mark it and cut to size. When installing it put the cut on the bottom of the hole. Most hardware stores will have them.

Initially I thought the same thing, then I went and actually learned about the product and checked them out more closely. It's not angle iron afaik. Angle iron is actually pretty flimsy and easily bent. As I understand it the material used it much stronger. Is there are reason your first...

Consider a preemptive strike, contact the HOA and file a complaint that someone is leaving litter and threatening notes on your legal, registered vehicle.

Interestingly the same part number for that spring is listed here https://www.hummerpartsguy.com/SPRING-FRONT-1728LB-SNOW-PLOW_p_123.html for a Snow Plow.

From what I found, link in my post above, no not all 2500 and 3500 wheels will work for several different reasons. Any stock size wheel typically isn't wide enough for suggested rim width for mounting tires that fit the HMMWV's. That is typically 37x12.50 tires. Also the Wheel offset and back...

Those in a 17" are too narrow for any available 37"+ tires that I can find. There are other stock Dodge wheels in 18x8 and 20x8 that can take available 37"+ tires. I've posted a lot of Tire and Wheel info here...

I have been casually researching wheels and tires for a while. A recent health issue has me laid up in front of my computer. I'm not an expert on wheels and fitment but I did accumulate a fair amount of information on the topic. My criteria was pretty simple. 1. Maintain stock profile as much...

What is the rim width? I have been doing a lot of wheel research and later today I am posting in my build thread about wheels, offsets etc. I found some stock Dodge steel wheels as well. Do you know what year those are from? Thanks

The picture says "GovPlanet" on it. I'm guessing it is a picture he found online to represent what he was talking about and not an actual picture of his leak.

Well actually mine is a permanent hard top with a permanent rear wall. There aren't ever going to be back seats. The access will be for storage under the bed floor and access to the front of the bed area.

The issues I have been finding with wheels is the stock wheel offset is high. I have to do some measuring myself but it looks like +50mm (about 2"). With the 8.5" wide wheel that is about 6.25" back spacing. The Black Rhino wheels are +6mm (about .25"). With a 9.5" wide wheel that's about 5"...
