    Hmmwv cover recommendations?

    If you’re not going to move it until spring, consider having shrink wrapped. That’s what they do with boats. Keeps them dry and clean. It also holds up to wind.

    Tom Murray, One of the originals

    Tom is a fixture in this hobby. I bought a ton of parts from him for our M151 project. Prayers of comfort for his family and friends.

    Bringing back to life a 2009 HMMWV M1165A1 from GovPlanet - total newbie, please help...

    Welcome to the hobby! When I bought my M934 from GP, it had been sitting for eight years . We prepped the truck for the 1,000 mile drive home. It ran pretty bad for the first couple hundred miles. As we kept filling it with fresh fuel and additives it ran better and stronger. By the time we made...

    Asking for a friend

    M1088 camper conversion

    Ckouba, Just to give you a point of reference. It took me a little over two years to build out my M934. I had some help with a lot of it. I did the finish work and mechanicals by myself. I didn't have to build the box. Based on what I started with and what you are doing from the ground up, I'd...

    Great news! I love hear stories of a truck put out to waste being saved. This one showed you it’s appreciation by running. I look forward to seeing your progress with this project. Thanks for saving this vehicle.

    SC I need insurance on my M813a1. Any advice.

    I insure all of my vehicles with Hagerty. I had a chance to meet these folks this summer when the MVPA convoy visited their "garage". They fed us and let us hang out and enjoy their extensive collection. The folks I met there are just plane nice people. Their rates are fair. There are others...

    Welcome to the site! You will find this place to be a vast source of knowledge… Or sometimes opinion. 😃 I don’t know what it’s like in Kansas but in Michigan and some other states, it’s almost impossible to title an HMMWV. This is due to the level of ignorance in our state government. You may...
