Interesting... So I took the 200lb wheel & tire to five major tire shops in my area to find out if I can (and should) reverse the tread, some national chains. Four of them said they can't do it. Some said it'll break their equipment. One (Quality Tire, who mainly does commercial tires) said they...

Makes sense... And probably quite effective against recent enemies.

Nice truck. So if there is no directional arrow on the sidewall, is it safe to say they're non-directional? In your reference picture, the tire tread is pointed in opposite directions, which is actually how I see most of the HMMWV's. Driver side pointing toward the rear and passenger toward...

HMMWV Tires - Directional or Non-Directional? Hello, Humvee tires are described often as non-directional, but they have the tread points going in one direction. Are they still non-directional, even though the points could face different directions?

Here's a picture of what I did, in case it helps anyone.

No tie-downs? I was thinking of using the same batteries, but am hoping the original bracket would somehow work.

Excellent - thanks!

Watching the news to see what MVs the Guard rolls into Maryland?

Cool! Will these parts work for the 4-man bulkhead setup as well?

Awesome idea!

Sorry the pictures came up cockeyed from my phone. I'll fix it later.

Hey fellas. I'm installing some supplemental armored doors on a HMMWV that previously had soft doors. The stock hinges seem flimsy with these heavy doors. Are there sturdier hinges available? I haven't been successful in finding any in the TMs. They mount and close well, but don't seal up...

I just called Optima and asked for advice. They told me the Yellow-top D34 are dual purpose - designed for starting and deep cycles. I asked about warranty and they said it's 36-months, whether used for starting or not. I'll proceed with getting those, under the assumption that 750 CCA's are...

Makes sense, thanks. I'm leaning toward the deep-cycle as well due to the frequent draining and charging cycles. I was just concerned about the lower CCAs.

Thanks, but I've exhausted all resources for the 6TL's under $200, unless I become a distributor. And I already have the 34 series adapters. So I'm between the yellow-top (deep cycle) and the red-top (starting) group 34s. Does anyone one have some technical input on the two and its suitability...

HMMWV Battery Requirements Can anyone help me out with finding specs needed for the HMMWV batteries? Specifically, what are the Cranking Amp & Cold Cranking Amp (CA & CCA) requirements for the HMMWV? And would a starting-type battery be better, or a deep-cycle? Mine will sit most of the month...

Man, that's too bad. Anyone got a source for the 6TL's that's under $200? Anything more than that and the Optimas w/adapters seems like the best fit.

Where do you get your 6TLs for $125?
