    Took my Humvee out with the TFL guys last week. Fun time, hopefully you guys enjoy the vid: Feel free to tear me up. Pretty sure the correct torque rating is 290ft-lbs.

    HUMVEE Ultra4 (KOH) Build?

    Hey guys, Not sure if anyone here is familiar with Ultra4 racing, but this is an offroad race series that combines high speed desert or short course with rock crawling. The most famous race in the series is King Of the Hammers (KOH). I've been racing in Ultra4 since 2012. I started with a...

    GEP 6.5 NA - Max Boost & HP/TQ

    Some of you guys might have seen a thread of mine a while back discussing swapping to an LS engine in my HMMWV. Well, after enjoying it for a while now I've developed a bit of a soft spot for the 6.5 and am wondering what reasonable HP numbers can be achieved. I have a D1SC Prochager I'm...

    Tie Rod End Recommendations?

    Hey guys, near the end of my Moab trip I noticed the front tires of my m1123 would turn on their own under heavy load. From what I've read, it sounds like this is likely due to a worn Idler, but all steering joints could be suspect. I'm planning to upgrade to the alpha/moog problem solver...

    Auto Part Store CV Axles OK?

    I'm taking a trip to Moab in a couple weeks and thought it would be good to have a couple spare axle shafts with me. What's everyone's thoughts on cv shafts from an autoparts store? How do they compare to the OE 10k axles? I can get new CV axles from Rock auto for ~$90ea. Brand is GSP (rear...

    Rear Seat Cushion Recommendations?

    Hey guys. How bad are the stock rear cushions with the stock rear seat back boards? Any recommendations for a better option that still lets you fold the seats away for more bed space? I saw a company Oregon Aero that makes something, but they're like $350 per cushion! That seems ridiculous...

    CO Insuring HMMWV NEWER than 20 years

    Hey guys, Looks like there's a few decent insurance options for HMMWV's, but everyone I've found requires the vehicle to be at least 20 years old (Hagerty, USAA, Nationwide, JC Taylor....). Any other companies I should try to get insurance on a newer model? My M1123 is a 2008.

    HMMWV Yermo to CO

    Hey guys, As I continue to wait for my EUC to clear (been 10.5 weeks now, hopefully any day), it's beginning to look less and less like I'll have time to go pickup my M1123. Anyone here care to quote me to transport from Yermo CA to Colorado Springs CO (80926)? I haven't yet posted to uship...

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    Hey Guys, While I sit here checking my EUC status 5 times a day every day, I can't help but day dream about all my plans for my HMMWV. I've purchased a M1123 with the 6.5L NA engine. My original plan was to immediately swap the diesel out for an LS3 I have, but I've been wondering how bad the...
