    Humvee transmission

    If I were to replace my 3 speed with a 4 speed I personally would go with a built 700R4 as it is a mechanical transmission and not have to worry about electronics at all. When built the old 700R4 can easily handle the HMMWVs power. I do have experience with the 700R4s at the drag strips and...

    Rebuilding Troop seats

    Thank you. Only issue with mahogany is it darkens over time and after like 5 or 6 years outside they need a freshening. I'm just going to pull them, sand them and relinseed them. But no deterioration at all. Mark

    Rebuilding Troop seats

    I used 6x1 mahogany and some boiled linseed oil. Looks really nice and holds up very very well. I personally prefer the wood look. Mark

    US Parts Source for Unimog?

    Swissarmyvehicles.com is a great source for parts for the Pinzgauers and probably the unimog. The both came off the same assembly line.

    The right to travel

    Yes the last ten and more so the last five and I would love to vent on other nonsense these days but thus is not the right venue. It suffices to say things are getting truly weird with our government as of late.

    The right to travel

    Complete newbie question about trailers for hauling vehicles and equipment

    Well put. There are better choices for a trailer when being towed by a civilian pickup. The military trailers are just too damn heavy and then you have the air brake issues. I would opt for a 102" wide 20' equipment trailer with 5k axles (15" tires or 7k axles (16" tires) axles and electric...

    M1123 Glowplug issues

    Those are extra cheap chicom trash that should never be used. Change out the glow plugs with Wellman plugs. Only way to go with the HMMWV. Sorry you wasted your time with junk. Hopefully the old ones come out easy and use copper never seize on the threads. They must be 3/8" to not be chicom...

    Nice HMMWV to say the least

    He doesn't drive around with the "guns" mounted . He sets them up for shows and parades. They are replica guns. Mark
