Diamond plate gives more stiffness for less weight. It also provides a nonslip surface. Lastly, you see it used on stock MV's, so it will go with the OE design.

71.5mph = impending installation of the coveted 6.2 block interior inspection port.

You emphasized that you want it "right", twice. CARC is the answer. There's several versions of CARC. 4 gallons was enough to do this truck. Zinc primer. NDT, do you hear an echo? :)

I've used ospho. Works ok. Sandblasting is the gold standard.

Not for long....

My girlfriends daily driver is a 2016 fourdoor wrangler, lifted on 35's. I'm actually surprised at how close the hmmwv feels to the jeep, driving down the road at 55mph. Given, the jeep has twice the hp, and a much higher top speed. But at 50-55 they don't feel *that* different.

I'm reasonably close you, about 45 minutes from Beatrice NE. I have a good M998 with an on road title and current plates. Everything works like it should. You're welcome to come over middle of next week or possibly the weekend and drive it. This'll give you a basis for comparison for future...

This is directly contradicted by the statements made by the OMV employee. I have no firsthand knowledge of what happened. I merely watch with interest to see how it turns out. Precedent and all...

If I were going to tow the M129A4 semitrailer regularly, I'd want to put 395's on the truck and trailer both, in order to share a spare and in order to tow the trailer level. But the 16's really appeal to me cosmetically, and also I acquired another XM818 on 11.00''s to tow the semitrailer...

By popular request .... I'll take some pics of the interior and under the hood and add them.

Ideally you want to centrifuge it. My understanding is that some of the abrasives that accumulate are too small for effective filtration.

I saw a very impressive video of a Jeep rollover. Crawling along at walking speed, got tipped just a smidge off balance and then started tumbling sideways and then end over end. I'm convinced that a rollcage is highly desirable. I'll see if I can find the video and post it here.

Looks to me like she sent a directive to DMV to revoke titles and registration without any legal basis to do so. Then she offers this bill to allow for title and registration with severe limitations. It looks like the goal was to coerce support from current owners for the limited...

I concur, except that the potential market will be that rare enthusiast who wants that collectible M35A3. In today's market, value $7500-$15k, with this particular truck in the $9k-12k range. I sent a PM with the details of my reasoning.

In theory private sale should command something of a premium over an auction truck simply due to the diminished risk, and the absence of an EUC wait. You see people "upgrade" and "improve" them, then turn around and expect to recoup everything they've put into it. The thing is, one man's...

Idaho is a yes, with no restrictions. I think Montana is too but I'm not sure.
