    which tire you would prefer

    I don’t see 37x12.5x16.5 anywhere. So I’m back to my question. Are these tires actually available for the HMMWV yet?

    which tire you would prefer

    Has there been any sign that these tires are actually for sale? I would love to replace the Wranglers with a set of KO2 tires in stock size.

    Anti-theft measures?

    I just found the instructions. You can set the fob as either 'automatic', or 'manual' mode. So for a car show, just set it to manual and it won't start unless you push the button on the RFID fob. https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/dgd-m24.pdf

    Anti-theft measures?

    Is there a way to temp disable the RFID key fob? I'm thinking of car shows where I'm near the HMMWV.. I don't want some to start playing with the run switch and it allowing the start cause the key fob would be in my pocket. Otherwise it looks pretty cool. I'd seen it advertised before, but...

    1998 AM General M1123 HMMWV 4 Door Soft Top Listed on Govplanet.

    Looks to me like the stuff they bring to Comic-con and other events to advertise their movies. They park them either in the convention hall, or outside on the side walk. I've seen ones painted just like this in past years for other movies. They are mechanically 'sound' (i.e. not going to just...

    HMMWV on-road bills

    From a bit of very quick research, TR-11-0016, isn't a bill.. but a court decision. In the US we have primary law (bills, codes, etc) (Federal, State, Local -- passed by legislative bodies), and secondary law -- interpretations of the primary law by the courts. So TR-11-0016 is secondary law...

    HMMWV on-road bills

    MN has a law that allows SOME military vehicles to be registered. It does NOT have anything to do with FMVSS, but is based on vehicle size and weight. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/168A.02 See subdivision 1(b): (b) A decommissioned military vehicle that (1) was also manufactured...

    Registering in Colorado

    Some states have a requirement that if a vehicle remains in the state more then a certain amount of time, that vehicle MUST be registered in that state. (That includes commercially owned vehicles.) But I agree, Lobbying is the place to spend your time and money. In Minnesota they got the law...

    Registering in Colorado

    I was told Minnesota tried to do something similar, and owners with existing titles sued the state and won. They were prevented from recinding registration, but they could prevent new registrations. (Then the law was changed to permit HMMWVs and CUCVs to be licensed.) Note sure any owner who...

    Fuel additives for cold weather and/or storage

    I use Howes and PowerService. Recently it's been Howes. 8 Oz per tank full. I do it all summer long and into the fall until true Winter diesel is available here. That way if I don't drive it, the diesel still has the anti-gel in it. If I do drive it, it's a small price to pay for the...

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    Plastic scratches, easily! Glass doesn’t. Get glass.

    Expensive 4 minutes

    I was thinking it was that damned blinker green light blinding him as he was driving... I did love the slide when he slammed on the brakes.. pretty clear he had no idea that rig didn't have anti-lock brakes.

    Think of the hollywood fruit stands. The peril to all of that fruit at high speeds through the alley!

    Item found in M997 ambulance

    Asked my housemate about this. She spent a lot of time driving and training in that model. She said it doesn’t look like any standard part, plus the color is wrong. If it was Army the ropes should be green. so she thinks it’s just debris someone threw into the ambulance and nothing that came...

    coolant drain plug

    passenger side, lower hose, about where the tie rod for the passenger tire crosses (just above that), lowest point of the hose. (That section is metal.)

    Engine Rebuild

    Mine is a 6.5L connected to the 3 speed. I was told it was replaced by the Army in 2004. Works fine, but it would be nice to have an overdrive.

    Holes from armored windshield?

    So far I've only used the tool on rivets.. but it works wonderfully.. Much better then a lot of rivet guns I've used in the past.

    Replacing Coolant Reservoir Cap - 16 LBS or 15LBS?

    It probably doesn’t matter, but I’ve been told 15 psi on the HMMWV.

    any brand of glow plugs?

    The glow plugs should be under $10 each. I just bought two sets. https://real4wd.com/product/glow-plug-engine-assy-hmmwv/ https://www.macmotors.com/HumveeCatalog/Wellman/GLOW-PLUG-24-VOLT-OEM/12338771 I’ve bought from both companies and they are the real thing, $100 or less shipped.

    any brand of glow plugs?

    Go to kascar, or Mac motors. Do not buy from eBay, and the head should be 3/8 hex, NOT 10mm, if you get 10mm it’s counterfeit and WILL fail and be really difficult to remove.
