    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    You got a great deal! It sounds like its coming along nicely. That washer pump saved you some cash.

    Broken Axle - Outback ( way outback )

    Sounds like quite the situation. It sucks now, but someday it'll become one of those stories that gets shared and everyone has a laugh. If I lived in AZ I wouldn't mind giving you a hand. If you think of it, could you take a few pics where the truck is at? I'm curious to see the terrain.

    Man, that is a really nice rig! I don't think I could bring myself to paint it.

    All day HMMWV sale, what did you get? 9/13/16

    I was watching, but didn't buy anything. Hopefully by this time next year I'll have a running/driving M998 in the driveway.

    Paint job

    Flats are pretty easy to paint yourself. Check out GCI paints. They're about $40 a gallon and from what I've been reading, they spray pretty easy.

    HMMWV anti theft devices?

    This is a good idea. If you cant store it in a secure location, parking other vehicles around it and disabling the truck is a pretty safe way to store it. Sounds like it should be safe at your families place though. Did it look like the guy was just checking it out because its cool? Or did he...

    Cucv lift

    X1000 No blocks in the rear. Shackle flips are fine, or get a kit that includes lift springs.

    Thz71's M1008

    Cool build! You're working that truck hard, but its better than parting it out! The lifted Escalade made me lol. Did he do any wheeling with it?

    As said before, welcome! I'm currently in the market for a HMMWV, so I'll be hanging around this area a lot more now!

    New m1009 with rust question

    Go for it! It seems like a truck worth putting some cash into. Up here its not uncommon to see trucks with no rockers, or floors and they're still on the road. lol

    New m1009 with rust question

    I wouldnt worry about some pitting. Just replace what metal has rot, and move on.

    Ft Meade M1031

    Whats a GL driveshaft? They pick it up with a forklift and bend it? Nice looking truck!

    Whats your 6.2 Oil Pressure?

    When I start the M1008 its right around 45psi cold, and when it gets up to around 200F its at around 15-20psi. It jumps right back to 40 when driving. I was wondering what the rest of you guys are pulling for numbers? I know the general rule is 10psi for every 1K Rpm.

    My first M1008

    I saw this truck on Ebay, and it looks very nice! I like the tan paint, and thats how I plan on doing mine this spring.

    What front lift springs are you running?

    Im looking for some lift, and Im thinking about running a shackle flip in the rear, and 4-6" springs in the front. I know you walk a fine line with the front driveshaft running 6" springs, so Im leaning towards a 4" one. What Im wondering though, is the weight of the 6.2, combined with a 9ft...

    Running Hmmwv wheels question

    Thanks for the info! I sent him a PM. I'd love to have me a set. I think they are some of the best looking wheels to run on a CUCV

    Running Hmmwv wheels question

    I plan on 37's, so I should stick with the 12 or 24 bolts I guess. So If I picked up some wheels, just make sure the O ring is good, then mount and balance like any other tire? Sound good to me.

    Running Hmmwv wheels question

    Hi guys, So Im in the market for some 16.5" wheels, and seeing how they're hard to find around my way Im looking into picking up a set of HMMWV wheels. I have a few quick questions on them... 1: From what I read, I would need to run spacers. Is this on all 4 wheels, or just the front? What...
