    Awesome, thanks again.

    Swapping wheels to fit on a U-Haul trailer?

    Wild, every past post claimed it was impossible to fit it on the standard U-Haul trailer and your only chance was if you got the older style red (?) one. Thanks for the photo, maybe I'll bring the wheels and a jack along just in case and try it on the original wheels. What did you do about the...

    Swapping wheels to fit on a U-Haul trailer?

    I have a 1994 M998A1 which I’ll need to transport at some point between locations, preferably without registering it or hiring a transporter. I’ve thought about buying a car trailer with a wide enough deck, but that’s down the road. I do have a set of wheels that came off my 2004 Silverado...

    MA HMMWV owners - RMV question

    Redacted. For the sake of argument, let's suppose someone in Massachusetts bought a 1990s auction truck and they were going to title it in their name, and were a little confused about what to put down for the make and model. What would then be the proper way to proceed if anyone in MA has any...

    MA HMMWV owners - RMV question

    Thanks for the kind words, (un)fortunately I’m pretty familiar with the RMV at this point after buying a variety of unusual vehicles with unusual paperwork (we actually also just imported a vehicle into MA from Spain by way of NJ USCBP, now that was an adventure) so mainly just seeing if anyone...

    MA HMMWV owners - RMV question

    I would, but it just says “TK” for model and I’d rather it say HMMWV, so if I can get it titled as that with the MA RMV, will try to but they’ll correct me if not. Believe me, if there was any other way to have done it I would’ve, but MA makes zero exceptions for titles regardless of antique...

    MA HMMWV owners - RMV question

    I’m guessing our state’s offices are pretty similar, so what did you do for make/model?

    MA HMMWV owners - RMV question

    My truck is turning 25 this upcoming year, which means I’ll finally be able to title it in MA and register it if I want given its antique status. I’ve had it registered in Vermont since I bought it four years ago, so will get in the door at the RMV that way. My question for other owners in...

    Various M998A1 gremlins

    Thanks, I found that shortly after I posted so that's what I'll do from now on. If the low doesn't work, I'll just assume I either have it in the wrong place or the shift connection is bad. Have to say I'm a little surprised and disappointed in AM, as every other manual 4WD I've driven (even my...

    Various M998A1 gremlins

    Would replacing the glow plugs fix it? It didn't do it when I first got the truck.

    Various M998A1 gremlins

    Glad I'm not alone, my gut says generator but who knows. Also, does anyone have the screw size for soft door handles handy? When I went to close the door after it got off the truck the handle fell apart, I saved everything except the screw I think (I still have both sides of the handle and the...

    Various M998A1 gremlins

    I just had my 1994 M998A1 delivered this morning, after three years of it vacationing with a relative across the country (didn't have the space before now, he did). I'm painfully remembering that it has a range of minor issues, so I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a general...

    Mystery marking + how to uncover unit markings

    Nope, I can't seem to find anything else on the truck except for the identical marking in the middle of the rear that has anything to do with it.

    Mystery marking + how to uncover unit markings

    Thanks for the input and makes sense, I'm just getting lost when it appears that HHC 17 and this B CO marking were there at the same time (especially when in theory the B CO marking should be where HHC 17 is). There also appeared to be something that might look like a 101 under the B CO marking...

    Mystery marking + how to uncover unit markings

    I was recently able to recover my HMMWV's unit markings from under the spray paint, and thought I'd share my method so others may learn more about their trucks and preserve their truck's history. I simply took a bottle of Pro Strength Goof-Off, and with a bunch of paper towels (easier than rags...

    Uncovering unit markings from demil overspray

    Thanks for the suggestions, I don't have access to a blaster unfortunately so I'd be happy to hear some other options as well. I heard gas might work? I did try CARNAC for info a few months ago, but he was very vocal about the fact that he no longer does those searches. I was fortunate enough...

    Uncovering unit markings from demil overspray

    Just wondering, what's the best way to uncover my HMMWV's tactical markings from the paint that was sprayed on before its sale without damaging the paint used for the markings or the CARC paint? Thanks!

    Hello from Mass

    As requested, here's a photo of my jeep taken in front of a VN-era LCVP (not mine) and converted to B&W. Cape Coastie, nice to see your name; I did some Aux work and want to go gold eventually.
