    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    God, you are wearing me out. You are lucky you are not paying some lawyer for this advice. Think, intent, purpose and Commercial, COMMERCIAL COMMERCIAL! Look at the "and" between the definition of a commercial vehicle and the characteristics of a vehicle. Think commercial purposes. That is the...

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    You are just wrong. Did you really look at case law, case cites, the definitions section of the Veh Code and the legislative (intent) notes? You don't need to go that far down the statute as you are not using the vehicle for commercial purposes. Its that simple. The legislators expressly...

    California CDL: Another Clarification (long)

    Quit trying to scare everybody! As I wrote before, I am a lawyer in CA with 9 years experience. I did my own research on this issue, and you do not need a CDL! You can go ask all the police and other law enforcement personnel what they think the law is, and if they tell you a CDL of any...

    Bobbed Deuce - Why use M105 trailer frame too?????????

    RE: I appreciate vintage but... Great! I am sure you really need a multifuel engine, just in case there is no more diesel you can use jet fuel. Anyway, I don't care at all. I just voiced my opinion that the I thought the concept of a bobbed deuce was stupid. Go ahead and make it into an ice...

    Bobbed Deuce - Why use M105 trailer frame too?????????

    RE: I appreciate vintage but... Good, I am glad you were smarter than the engineers at AM general and the Army, so that you have modified the trucks to do a better job. Then why not use an F150? Even better turning radius......

    Bobbed Deuce - Why use M105 trailer frame too?????????

    I will never understand the logic behind a bobbed m35 truck. All that work and for what? You no longer have a military relic, not you have a custom whatever. That is why I believe a bobbed deuce is a POS period. Why not put a Chevy cab on it too. If you want a four wheel truck then go buy a...

    My New 6.5 TDL HMMWV engine. Is this the right one?

    So nobody has any idea where to purchase a new or rebuilt drop-in 6.5 TDL for my hmmwv? AMG or GEP is fine. I really would appreciate any insight as I am sure somebody else has already tracked down a good source for these and I am overseas, so that makes it much harder. Thanks in advance.

    You know the M35A3 has the same engine and tranny.... in theory I guess, you could buy a Steyr and swap the engine and tranny with that of an m35a3 (love mine in fact) and you'd have an LMTV. Presto.

    My New 6.5 TDL HMMWV engine. Is this the right one?

    Man, I was hoping for a turbo. I have added so much armor and accessories to my HMMWV, and been driving it in high altitudes, I know I need a turbo. OK, maybe this is easier: ANYBODY KNOW OF OR HAVE A SOURCE FOR A NEW 6.5 TURBO FOR MY 87 HMMWV? I HAVE THE EXTENDED VEHICLE CAPACITY KIT (ECV)...

    Lots of water on the floorboard

    On my m35a3, which only has 5000 mi on it, I noticed under the floor matting, there are some joined areas of the floorboard going perpendicular to the body, that are not sealed that well. I filled them up with silicon. Problem solved. You might also want to take the truck out in the daylight...

    HMMWV rifle rack (my m35a3 rack too!)

    Can somebody please post some pics on what the HMMWV m-16 rifle racks look like when they are mounted in the HMMWV. I ordered one from Kascar to see what I got. It looks nothing like the rifle rack I mounted in the m35 except for the bottom butt stock retainer. The rack I have has the bottom...
