    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Hmmwv's are not the only former military vehicles. This proposed law adds crippling restrictions where currently there are none.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    The perception is there that the hmmwv are not currently eligible to be titled and tagged at all. This would then allow a limited title and registration where none is currently permitted. I do not assert that this is the case. Others will.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I am. The construction company that uses a 5ton fitted with a water tank, who has currently registered it as a commercial vehicle and complied with all those requirements, will be forced to stop using it or face criminal charges. The overland crowd, who have substantially modified their LMTVs...

    Hawaii Introduces Bill to Allow Military Vehicle Registration (including HMMWVs)

    Looks to me like that very narrow definition are the only vehicles subject to the limitations in the bill. The rest of the FMVs would not be titled or tagged as special interest - they'd simply be treated as normal vehicles.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    It makes it a CRIME, not a ticket, to take your 5ton to home Depot to pick up supplies.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    This bill gives a little something to the hmmwv owners... (far too little IMHO). And in return severely restricts the use of all the other FMV's. The primary meat of the bill is to impose restrictions. I don't see why any MV enthusiast would support it.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thank you all for the kind words. Welds are like handwriting - mos68x did some and I did some. Looking at the posted pics, it's immediately obvious to me which ones are mine. Miniscule differences in rod angle transitions and similar subtleties sum to a personal style. A similar effect comes...

    Needing a little help deciding some truck things

    For super heavy and offroad, presumably in low gear range, the 809series is arguably a better choice than the 939series.

    Maryland doesnt want me to own a Deuce!

    Interesting. They're dead wrong about the EUC stating it's for off road only. The Hold harmless agreement is only for hmmwv's. However based on wrong info, their conclusion is clear enough: "do not register former military vehicles."

    74m35a2 is the alternator guy. I'm not sure he has the whole kit though.

    939A2 8.3l rebuild kit

    I sold my last one to MOS68X. I don't think he has used it yet so he should be able to get you the part number off the box.

    Anyone ever thought of adding a simple EGR system to an MEP803a ?

    I'll add that by reducing peak combustion temperature an EGR actually greatly increases the amount of particulate carbon produced. This is why you see them in combination with a DPF. The DPF is required to remove the particulates. Consider, we go to quite a bit of trouble to provide the engine...

    What's currently in your truck? Are you preemptively replacing them, or is there a problem with them?

    Question: Best batteries to buy for Humvee (yes I did a search before posting this)..

    Emphatically this! If I'm spending someone else's money, I want Hawkers. If not, the Interstate 65P works just fine.

    Aftermarket LED lighting for HMMWV

    Oh and I’m also the guy who if your blue hid obnoxious headlights hurt my eyes, I wait until you’re about 25’ from me and I pull brights. g. Interesting. Is this operating on the principle that two blinded drivers is safer than one?
