I wanted to watch and wanted to be smug that I can't get stuck once I get my front winch in place, but your narration makes me unhappy I haven't put on a rear mounted winch too.
It's combat footage, so you are warned if you click through . . . several armored HMMWVs in combat in Ukraine. Also lots of American weaponry around the HMMWV.

Back on track, I found that out the hard way test driving a buddy’s 6.5/4. I wouldn’t say the 6.5 Turbo is fast, but at least I am not in the right lane with 4 ways on being passed by loaded semis!
The REV B parts are getting more expensive - and in the case of a couple bits, hard to find - but overall they represent a vast improvement over earlier models.
The real question is cost: higher upfront cost, and higher maintenance costs -- and is that worth it you? That depends on your...
From their new spin-off show, "Pawn Stars Do America". Advance to about 36:43 for the scene. The Pawn Stars passed. I would have also - the 6.5 non-turbo doesn't have the juice to run up and down I-70 in Colorado.

Coug I agree at first my HMMWV was unstoppable - both good and bad - but I found with some active brake pumping it performs quite well in the snow. Definitely needs longer stopping distance than a car, but it is 3.5 tons.
I would love to get ahold of a Ricardo Defense ABS kit for the HMMWV -...

Top quality rim, a bit more expensive than Black Rhino but better built, higher load capacity, and factory offset. That makes them the clear choice.
I run BFG T/A KO2s on much more severe winter weather than you'll ever see in Connecticut and they are fantastic in the snow. You'll need to switch to 17" rims for that (I don't think they offer a 16.5 version for the 2 piece military rims).
And studs will destroy your driveway and garage and...
As Coug said, those Trucklites are plug and play. They are designed for the military HMMWV and used on the later model HMMWVs. One of the best bang-for-buck upgrades I made on my 1165.b
Get yourself a set of Trucklite 07496 lights and don't look back. The upfront cost is a little higher but these are the bets headlights (mil-spec too).

@thoner7, why don't you give Steve K. (aka Retired Warhorses) a call and have a chat, he can walk you through things, he's a great guy - and he sells HMMWVs too. He's in the book if you google for him.
UT is the national title code for "utility vehicle" aka "suburban" body style as you guessed. My original MT title was issued in error as a truck and it was corrected to UT. It does not have to do with on road/off road.
