September 21st, 2016. Admittedly the gentleman in post No. 48 above did manage a rather minor faux pas, but the question here is, as AM General sent an aforementioned letter to the state DMV's telling them that the HMMWV's did not met Federal Highway Safety regulations and that they should...

September 21st, 2016. A modification that decreases your likelihood of being rear ended at night (doesn't eliminate it with all the texting doofus's, but it helps)![thumbzup]

September 21st, 2016. Given that most HMMWV's lately are being sold as "Off Road Use" only by the Gov't, are you planning on hunting up one of the old Marine Corps 1990's swap-outs? The other curious thought on my end is would not an LMTV 1098 4X4 be a better conversion basis for your camper...

September 20th, 2016. The 53"s will cut down your torque and hill climbing abilities considerably, as they decrease the power at the rim of the tire while they increase the speed (slightly). An interesting side effect to any truck tire size increase in terms of the outside diameter, where a...

September 20th, 2016. Interesting comments on the air horns on the LMTV/FMTV. I suspect that like the deuces original airhorns, they are (were) calibrated for European traffic laws, where an American horn would be non compliant. Plus, how much attention do you really want to draw to yourself...

Comment Number 5 above by Wreckerman should be correctly attributed to General Phillips Sheridan, who after the Civil War was in charge of the troops pacifying Texas during reconstruction, no easy job even for Little Phil. I can take the summer Texas heat, as the Texas winters are sights better...

August 21st, 2015. Gotta give them credit, but I would have been better to start with a KIA M450 series truck. Maybe he can get KIA to do an import worthy version of this with AC, as the KM450 does seem to have AC!:-)

July 29th, 2016. The right torque multiplier (industrial grade) for a 1" or 2" inch wrench set, will take the lug nuts off or the lug bolts will fail. These torque multipliers have a heavy duty planetary drive which will multiply the force applied to the input side by a very sizeable amount...

July 26th, 2016. Carnac: The comment about the KIA was not directed to you, but to the silly beggars that can't live with 1960's military truck technology and specifications. It may not get you speeding tickets, but it will do whatever it was designed to do originally! Have a Great Day...

July 24th, 2016. Also S404's are generally gasoline engine, as the MD diesels applied in that series were not, pardon the pun, of bullet proof reliability.:-D

July 24th, 2016:-D Another Ahab: That started life as an M151, but has been reincarnated as a "MUTT" in every sense of the word. You have to admit, the stack of washers tells me that the man did not have access to an engine lathe to make a proper set of spacer posts.......:whistle:

July 24th, 2016. I can easily understand the situation with Jeep, as the YC's were not bad, as they were simple 4 cylinder Jeeps, with the worst feature being the idiotic layout of the gauges all over the dashboard. The later post YJ's have been rather over-engineered and nothing like the...

July 24th, 2016. Anyone here have good connections with Fiat Chrysler? Any chance we can get them to dump their bogus project pickups and bring in some rebadged KIA M425's (Diesel M715) series trucks. From what I have seen of late, Chrysler, as usual, is pi--ing in the wind and is sure to...

July 19th, 2016. 99nouns: So what's SI AE, and why would they follow him for 5 years for shipping rice? Where I was originally from, it would have been the Mafia, and they wouldn't have wasted 5 years tracking you.... With them, the problem disappeared almost instantly!;-)

July 18th, 2016. Maybe the new brake components can be sourced from Korea from KIA Motors Military Trucks division, as they are still building M35 and M715 derivatives from our original blueprints.....

July 18th, 2016. Bet that plumber really hated not taking the 15 minutes to remove the signs from his truck cab, but from what I can see in the picture, the present owners have come up with something better then liquid plumber to clean out your old shorts, or should I say, dirty them up!;-)

July 17th, 2016. That was probably the only vehicle in Atlanta that night that had nothing to fear from a fender-bender.....However, given the way they drive in Atlanta, it was also likely much too slow for the local's tastes in driving (speed).;-)

July 16th, 2016. Cut the OP some slack, if he's happy with what he bought, it's really little or no business of yours to rain on his parade. We won't get too many replacements for the fellows that old Grimm the Reaper's going to get sooner or later, so if you want a hobby to continue, you...

July 16th, 2016. You gents are getting your knickers in a twist when you have no reliable information to start with. However, if the demil code does change, you will be reimbursed your purchase price (or the original sales price) and you will have to prove and negotiate any upgrades or...

July 9th, 2016 Rich bids for that particular unit. Just goes to show you a fool and their money can often be separated.;-)
