    Opinions on removing the reinforcement behinds seats

    They are there for a reason. If you remove them it voids the warranty LOL Seriously, I would leave them in. I did however cover mine with padding as I do not want anyone in the back breaking their leg in the event of a head on or a tree that will not get out of the way

    DLA contacting you about the status of your hummers

    I got a letter from them stating that I understand that it is not allowed to be exported and is subject to blah blah regulations. And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. (Alice's Restaurant) May be Standard form letter.

    Original Marine HMMWV Auction

    My 1038 was from that Auction and was USMC. It was actually in Panama so that was kind of cool. The sad, it's value was at least cut in half when they started selling them again

    No shortage of rolling stock

    If there is no shortage of rolling stock why are there only 31 HUMVEEs in the next two auctions, most of which are beaters? I guess they gave up on the M1123s nobody was buying the stock ones... They trying to drive up the price or don't have stock ready to sell ? ? We will see

    The gaps are there to let the rain in and the cold air in the winter. Someone has a sick sense of humor at AMG...

    This can't be good

    It did not really go away when I cracked one of them open but it was hot and my hearing really sucks. In any case, when all were tightened back down it was gone. This morning it was back. I did just go to a nice, non windy stop and ran it again and it was there and even after 15 mins there was...

    This can't be good

    So when I got home I did the break the fuel line connection one at a time. On a good note the rpms dropped each time, second, after the knock was gone. This morning it was back, I am thinking the stuck injector is correct. I have a set so I will replace them this weekend. If still there then we...

    This can't be good

    Let the manager of a local Military Vehicle supply company borrow it for a week to show. It came back with that knock. The water pump blew and they replaced that but I doubt it is related other than the off chance they overheated it. Seems like new motor time.

    One thousand miles...one thousand dollars

    Boys and their toys. We used to quail hunt all the time and one day my dad figured out that over 10 years it was about $600 a pound for quail meat. It is more than just the miles or the amount of meat. The fun in both hunting or driving and fixing up an old MV is priceless...

    GP 3 day payment

    Other than the expected EUC wait time my experience with GP was good. As far as selling some of these "On Road" Humvees, that may come back to bite them. We all know where many of them came from in the first place and how they were sold...
