    @BigRig379 is around there somewhere.

    Michelin XL tires

    14.00's? Unless they're cheap I'd pass. If they're cheap and the truck doesn't spend much time above 40mph I'd consider it. In today's market if I'm buying tires for a 5ton I'm buying 395 XZLs or if I have $ to spend then 16.00 AT3s.

    Default fee = transaction canceled, hmmwv relisted in an upcoming auction and sells to the highest bidder and they keep the default fee on top of that.

    Un-Preserve Multifuel

    @Floridianson posted a good writeup specific to an NH250 a while back but I can't find it now. It'll also be relevant to the multifuel...

    How to Jump Start CUCV

    Sounds reasonable. The assumption is that just one battery on the cucv is discharged. It's important to ground to the negative post on the battery, as mentioned above. Let us know how it goes.

    Steel or Aluminum MRAP wheels?

    My preference for a deuce is the aluminum MRAP rim.

    How to Jump Start CUCV

    What are you going to jump it from? What equipment do you have available?

    5 ton and 10 ton dump bed covers interchangeable?

    Edwards canvas in OK does good work.

    m51a2 Dump weapons mount options?

    I'm not aware of any actually being used. But there's a swing out dash mount that puts an M240 or M249 in a hmmwv. This would probably take little tweaking to put a belt fed into your truck. Or a pedestal in the bed. Neither of these options strike me as particularly desirable in...

    What wheels are these?

    LMTV. They'll bolt right up to 939 and 809series trucks too.

    M817 Low Range Question

    It's fine. The "no low reverse" is specific to 939series trucks, not 809series. I own both. Shift into low, throw it in reverse and have at it. You're fine.

    Buying first humvee

    Talk to someone in FL who has registered a hmmwv recently in FL. Many places have specific exceptions and refuse hmmwvs. I have no personal experience with FL and make no claims this is the case. But it is well worth checking before you've sunk time and $ into a vehicle and find the path blocked...

    Buying first humvee

    There's not a 17 digit VIN. There's a (typically 6 digit) serial number. This gives most DMVs fits. I know people have them registered in FL, but it is almost certainly a far more tedious and aggravating process than you think. Every state that I know of collects sales tax on vehicle transfers...

    Buying first humvee

    Thing is, the ones on the secondary market all went through GP at some point and these costs were incorporated into the value. The secondary market is at minimum 20% higher than GP, and frequently more like double. A bare bones no frills basic hmmwv in functioning condition has a market value...

    Buying first humvee

    Rolling chassis with a driveline in place and intact is going to exceed the $7k. The thing is, you're not likely to find just the parts present you want, and in good shape. The ones in better shape tend to also be the ones that are more complete. If cheap is the goal, GP is the answer if...

    Odd tire failure

    This is my experience as well. I've blown a right front G177, and I've blown a right front 14.00. Both of these were at highway speeds, and neither really caused much excitement. (Neither gave any warning either). Harder to control was the intermediate axle driver side blowout.

    5 ton and 10 ton dump bed covers interchangeable?

    You are correct. Just looking at them, the beds are different dimensions so the covers won't be the same. @eric67camino

    SF97

    Thanks. I learned something. That isn't how DMV presented it to me.

    SF97

    This is all state specific. Bonded title in AZ for example is 1.5x the value of the vehicle. So instead of $15 per $1000 , it's $1500 per $1000. Just one example of many differences. In any case, it isn't fraud unless false statements are made. It may or may not be legal, but it isn't...

    Soft Top Ripped Loose While Driving.

    Gorilla tape will hold for a while. (Months typically). Rivits and washers are the best solution. Stitching it will fail again before too long.
