    Highway Cruising Speed

    It's different for each of my trucks, but it sounds like we're all trending the same when it comes to those with the 4L80's. The biggest thing for me is that if it sounds like you're pushing it too much, you probably are. I could comfortably cruise at 60-65 in the M1097A2 that was converted...

    Official 2021 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally information thread

    I'll be honest in that I was sceptical with how this years event would go and in fairness, I should have given it a better shot. With the whole 'rona thing going on last year and the change of venue this year, I wasn't sure how it would go. I never cared for Durhamtown as I never hit the trails...

    Official 2021 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally swap meet thread

    Whatcha got in the way of MUTT door skins and frames? Looking for NOS vinyl doors if ya have them, but definitely need the frames too.

    HMMWV Helmet Top or SlantBack

    The slantback is the classic, iconic HMMWV look that most of the general public thinks about when you say HMMWV. I was with heavy-guns during my time in service, so have plenty of time in crappy weather with the slantback and what everybody says is true - it's barely a roof really. I've got the...

    Official 2021 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally swap meet thread

    Now that my MUTT is here, I've got a good inventory of what I have - and a complete jack set with lug wrench was included. I could use a vinyl top, sides and doors. I'm also interested in US made coils and spark plugs if anybody has any.

    Questions - MERDC Camo Pattern and Unit Markings

    Good evening folks. I'm planning on converting my M151A2 over to a USMC vehicle in the next few weeks and was hoping that someone could help with a couple of questions I have regarding the MERDC camo pattern and the unit markings on the vehicle. I'm interested in painting my truck as an early...

    M151A2 from N Kansas City MO to Athens GA

    Much appreciated! I'm fortunate that I'll be buying it from a friend, so I don't think I'll need to take you up on the offer, but will keep you in mind if I do.

    M151A2 from N Kansas City MO to Athens GA

    I'm finalizing a deal on an M151A2 MUTT that will need to be moved from N. Kansas City, MO to Athens, GA. The vehicle is running and can be driven onto a trailer. I'd love to support someone here if possible.

    2018 Georgia Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade

    I've got a couple of sets of GMV smoke/flare launchers. $750 per set. I guess I need to inventory what other HMMWV stuff I have and get a list going. PM to hold.

    US Flag in Syria

    I've got a flag that was from the first white-side SOF ODA in Syria - it was used as an IFF panel on one of their GMV's. I've currently got it in a shadow box - still with Syrian sand on it. The pic below it is of my friend in the turret of the GMV with the flag spread on the hood. Overall, very...

    Trouble removing Rt. Front axle to change boot on CV Joing

    Actually, it does have more than just "remove halfshaft". It's a 3 step process that tells you what exactly needs to be removed to pull a half-shafts out. Yes, if he read it, it would have told him why he was unable to remove the half-shaft from the truck while the wheel was still on the truck...

    Trouble removing Rt. Front axle to change boot on CV Joing

    Except in this case, the TM does tell you HOW to do it. It took all of 5 minutes (I had to answer the phone) to find it in section 6.9 in TM-9-2320-280-20-2.

    Rock Sliders on the Humvve

    Heck yeah he does. Without him, my GMV would still be in pieces.

    Rock Sliders on the Humvve

    The ones I had measured were from Letterkenny builds that were pre-MSG variants. I may be swapping them out soon enough for your full length versions.

    Rock Sliders on the Humvve

    How thick are they? The real ones used on the GMV's are 3/8" steel, which may be overkill as a jack rail/cowl protection - but yours look a good bit thinner. I've got 86humv's rails on my GMV and they have been outstanding as well.

    Which HMMWV To Buy? Looking for advice

    Antenna mount. Instead of reviving a dead post for something not totally relevant to it - consider starting a new thread introducing yourself and telling us about your truck. I'm sure you'll get plenty of answers there for any other questions that you might have regarding the new acquisition.

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    I made that comment and I agree that you certainly could make it using a old/busted shafts, but I personally look at those kits as something to get you out of a pinch or back to civilization and not as something to get you by on a road-trip until you feel like putting a new shaft in. I mean...

    HMMWV Overland / cross country driving - Service?

    I've done several backwoods traverse trips with my trucks so far. It wasn't the middle of nowhere, like Moab or anything like that out west, but it was far enough removed and in difficult enough terrain that recovery by anyone other than myself or the other mil vehicles that were with me would...
