    MK 23, 7-Ton Lockers Question?

    Ours is a 2007, so it's only 14 years old, and only had about 3,000 miles on it when we bought it- none of this worn-out re-re-re-built 30-40 year old stuff...

    MK 23, 7-Ton Lockers Question?

    The MTVR also has a 30,000 pound payload capacity- you could put nearly 10,000 pounds in the back of your 20,000-pound M813A1, and then put your fully-loaded M813A1 into the bed of an MTVR, and it still wouldn't be over GVWR...

    MK 23, 7-Ton Lockers Question?

    The MTVR is light-years ahead of the older trucks. The MTVR has long-travel (16") coil-sprung fully-independent suspension, ABS, traction control, 5 lockers, full-time torque-distributing all-wheel-drive, 7-speed heavy-duty double-overdrive automatic transmission, 12-liter (732 cubic inch) CAT...

    MK 23, 7-Ton Lockers Question?

    Yes. No. It is full-time all wheel drive- all three axles. Yes.

    MK 23, 7-Ton Lockers Question?

    There are five lockers- one in each axle, one in the torque-distributing all wheel drive transfer case, and one between the two rear axles. They are controlled automatically by the CTIS computer in the dash, but there is also a momentary over-ride button on the dash that will lock all five of...

    Soft Top Ripped Loose While Driving.

    Energy increases with the square of velocity, so the wind blast at 50 mph would be one-quarter of the wind blast at 100 mph, or one-sixteenth of the wind blast at 200 mph:

    M1088 camper conversion

    I don't know if you're planning any expeditions more than 30 miles from the address you've registered it at, but please be careful with that SP license plate. In order to obtain a Special Interest Vehicle license plate, you have to sign an affidavit containing an admonishment threatening a year...

    Buying first humvee

    His birthday is a Google search away- I don't think he's 17. If the kid really was 17, I'd recommend that he join the military, where they will actually pay him to drive military vehicles...

    Securing your MTVR? anyone installing locks? ignition keys?

    I don't know if I have a record of the part number, but I looked it up again. I'm finding Velvac part number 600169-1 and 600169-6. Any brand of aluminum 4" non-vented female 8 thread per inch locking fuel cap will work. The numbers I gave above, may cross over to other brands if you do a...

    Buying first humvee

    Guys, I may have figured out why he's asking such odd questions: I Googled "EliteBeret", and came up with a 15 year old that appears to spend an awful lot of his time and energy on role-playing video games and costumes...

    Buying first humvee

    Florida requires the buyer to pay a 6% sales tax on all new or used vehicle purchases- it sounds like you're talking about not paying taxes that you legally owe, which is an arrestable criminal offense, and I don't think that Steel Soldiers is an appropriate place to discuss your criminal...

    anyone interested in a Florida 2021 rally?

    We're in central Texas, and have never been there, but it would be easier for us to reach than Key West. We've seen the beautiful pictures of the beaches and ocean. I've got a buddy in our Porsche club that sells boats in Destin, and he keeps telling us how beautiful it is and that we should...
