If a CUCV was pulling one, then either it was heavily modified, or an idiot. I have an M720 over in my back field I bought from one of the other guys around here. It's certainly heavy enough on it's own. I helped recover a shelter with another one, and it took 3-4 people to maneuver each...

So now it's getting frustrating. Installed the new Moog problem solver pitman arm. It doesn't go on very far. With the nut torqued down to 186 ft lbs, and no lock washer installed, the nut is on the shaft with only a couple threads past it. In other words about 1/4" or so further down than the...

Only reason I have the $700 hitch on my truck is because someone within driving distance bought it, then realized it wouldn't work with the airlift bumper so sold it to me half price. Black Dog didn't have their receiver out yet, and none of the other ones on the market looked like they would...

Reading through, it looks like there were multiple levels of reset, and starting with different models of truck to turn them into heavy variants. Could just be the first sets were only brought up to being heavy variant, then they did another run and brought them up to heavy A2 version, then the...

Both are air operated brakes, so without modification neither is suitable for towing behind a pickup, but both would be suitable behind the M35a2.

your generator produces 60 amps of 24V, so 1440 watts of power (really it charges at 28V so almost 1700 watts, but you usually don't want to be running generators at max for extended periods of time) The truck itself probably draws up to a couple hundred watts when using all the running lights...

What model of truck do you have? Some of the answers will be different if you have a truck with a 3 speed transmission or a 4 speed, and 60 amp or 200 amp generator. Also for your calculations is that each individual light drawing those wattages, or is it the combined total for all the...

To go further in depth to my previous answer: (edit: looking at your picture, I'm assuming you have an M1123 from the A2 front bumper and no rear bumper. If this is wrong please correct me as some of the answers change a little) The HMMWV isn't really designed to pull heavy loads. The...

With proper hitch and brake controller, it's not impossible to tow that amount, but it's highly discouraged.

the filter is after the lift pump but before the injection pump. Injection pump has enough suction to pull fuel from the tank, so you can still drive even with a failed lift pump. As soon as you open the drain valve you let air into the system, and the injection pump doesn't have enough...

I think it's more of an initial idea that won't pass the reality check phase of the planning. Fun to consider what you can do with it, but too expensive to implement. as for efficiency, one of the guys near me just got an old 2 stoke diesel generator up and running for the fun of it, so using...

The cost of the inverter and the cost of the wiring on the 24V side would be ridiculous. You're talking an inverter that costs more than most portable generators do for even a cheap chinese one. For a quality inverter with that output, you could pretty much buy an MEP-803A For 400 amps of...

unfortunately I fell for the look, as I wanted some more aggressive tires for snow and off road. Ended up with a pile of junk tires (11 from one source due to order screw ups, being shipped tires with multiple holes drilled in the sides, and finally the ones that failed in short order) Do you...

In theory the slave port is capable of 500 amps power. I don't know if for the HMMWV the cables connecting the slave port to the batteries are capable of that, but if you did a double run of the cables directly to the batteries (or to wherever the generator cables connect to) then in theory...

the set I have on order right now from Feltz tire are sold as "2018+" for date code, so less than 5 years old. I haven't seen anyone posting issues about the BFG Baja tires having cracking issues due to age, compared to Goodyear having to send out bulletins about their tires having catastrophic...

Yes, it will deflect water also to keep the filter dry, but there should be an intake cap that prevents water from getting into the system in the first place. The paper does filter out the sand, but you don't want it all hitting the paper at high speed in a single location, or you will literally...

The Goodyear MT last the best, but have the worst traction. The BFG Baja have the best traction, but wear down the fastest. You will only see a benefit to LR-E tires compared to LR-D if you're loaded heavy... very heavy. A set of LR-D tires is good for over 7k lbs per axle, so 14k for the...

even the 200 amp gen is good for 5kw of output, which is more than enough to make it through an emergency with the right setup.

also to consider that the military usually limits the speed soldiers are allowed to drive them. I know in Korea we had convoy speeds limited to 35mph for 5 vehicles or less, and 25mph for more than 5 vehicles. I've driven it for a while with steering system issues, including higher speeds...

I've done the string alignment method before, and read the method in the manuals. For a vehicle that lives off road as much as on, they are more than good enough. My truck does more on road time than off road, so it's worth the money to me to take it to a shop and have them do it. I hadn't...
