    New member here in Hawaii, soon to be back on the mainland

    Gov planet often auctions fmtvs in Hawaii starting at 1500 bucks! The final sales price ends up being dirt cheap as well! Shipping to San Diego is about $5,000-6,000 I think. I forget the name of the shipper but they specialize in military equipment and frequently shipped from that base where...

    2023 SoCal Summer Rally - August 11th- 13th

    Any of the members have kids that they intend to bring? Mine is 13 (almost always wears camo!) and I'm wondering if there will be someone to hang out with.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Actually I just looked up the official spec the Goodyear MTV 395 85 r20 are 46.6" diameter. currently there's about 7" spacing between my rear tires with no load in the back. Michelin zxl 16.00r20 tires are 52.9" in diameter. If I installed those the spacing in between my tires would decrease...

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    interesting well in measuring the axle spacing on my m1083 unloaded and seeing that the 16.00r20s appear to be 8 in larger diameter it look like the tires might have the chance to rub.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    If only the spaced the rear axles further apart on the 6x6 versions, we could put the same tires on those!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    Ready for independence day! The real Independence Day not that other one that some people just recently celebrated by causing a bunch of mischief.. I had the strong urge to mount these upside down but I suppressed it for the moment... Anyway let the fireworks light up the sky!

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    MO Lmtv insurance and registration in Montana

    I don't know any agents there but perhaps you might try in Kalispell as that is where one of the LLC agent companies is

    CA register a Humvee Street Legal in California

    A Montana LLC is considered an individual according to Montana and a resident of Montana. Therefore a vehicle owned by a Montana LLC is owned by a resident of Montana. Not sure how other States handle that or what they think of Montana's idea but there it is.

    M1088 camper conversion

    Nice pictures! I love the lowered entryway, I would have done the rear departure angle differently but that's just me.

    Idea for m295a1 Van trailer

    There's an m295 van trailer for sale on Gov planet in Colorado Springs. I had a thought for a trailer like this and I almost wish this was the kind that I had found but it's too far for me. You take this kind of van trailer, you can either leave one side fixed closed, or both sides to open as...

    M813 Seized Engine

    Apparently about 2 years ago it was driven off a trailer and into its current parking spot. Even the neighbors remember that day. There it sat. Don't think it was in a flood. Will definitely inspect the oil in all those places soon

    M813 Seized Engine

    Could water have come in through the air cleaner or exhaust stack and filled up the engine through the intake and exhaust valves?

    M813 Seized Engine

    I was wondering if that's the case. When we tried to start it the flywheel would attempt to rotate just a little bit but would be stopped. However if there is that much water perhaps the cylinders have rusted and it will be very difficult to rotate the crank. When we did try to rotate the...

    M813 Seized Engine

    What size and length tube would you say would fit down that hole all the way to the top of the piston? When he checked them there was oil already in there seemed full. When I checked the oil level from the dipstick it was way over filled so I think somebody jumped away too much oil in there...
