    top speed

    Sorry Mog, BUT ultimate speed is limited by ultimate engine RPM and gearing. Yes, you need some horsepower to push, BUT in our vehicles it has to do with gearing not HP.

    top speed

    Change your diff gears to 2.56. I think pulling a thousand pound house in a thousand pound trailer that will act like a sail would make 70MPH unrealistic in a HMMWV with stock tires. Swapping to 40” might help.

    top speed

    Speed and horsepower are apples and oranges. Speed is about distance over time. Horsepower is about Force over time. Horsepower will allow faster acceleration but gearing ultimately decides top end speed.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Does the Noco put off enough heat to require venting? Have you placed a thermometer. A guy with a rare hummer H1 just burned to the ground due to a trickle charger of all things.

    Indiana National Guard hmmwv's assisting slide offs.

    Unless that snow is Hollywood magic, I think those doors will be considered priceless by those inside the vehicle.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    An Asperger Syndrome child is somehow the poster child for the G7. It’s insane.

    Interesting Response from Vermont DECLINING my HMMWV Registration

    From what I’m told, and that ain’t much, mostly the problem is side impact. You need to upgrade vehicle to specks of 2006 re.: impact. Emissions is easy to deal with. Plan B claims to get these vehicles road ready for all states. Might be good to look into how. 30 year or older trucks are...

    Tires going flat left and right, can they be repaired

    Someone went out of control two years ago when they blew an old bald spare tire and crossed the double line and killed an entire college golf team as well as himself and his son. Throw bad tires away.

    Every windshield they ship to me arrives broken

    With respect, it is just flat windshield material. Go to a junk yard, buy a large flat front windshield from a bus or truck, take it to a windshield place and have them cut it to size and install. The gasket material is available from Steel Soldiers vendors and auction sites. You must use...

    Tires going flat left and right, can they be repaired

    You can’t fix old. You can only replace. The rubber itself irreversibly decays.

    New guy in NC, M1123 needs some love

    Please search others’ experiences and statements about Melton prior to purchasing anything from them (or any other vendor). I am neither endorsing or criticizing them. I’m only saying read the reviews.
