I'm guessing those ones with the armor walls but no top are what the M1123s look like before the demil. Certainly explains why there are so many with virtually no miles on them, who would want to ride like that if anything else was available?

I won my truck 3/27, so just before you did, today I got an email telling me that the status for EUC changed from "Sent" to "submitted." So from the sounds of it I likely have a few more weeks of waiting.

Sounds like they'll let you have the 90% back until the EUC clears, when you have to pay it again. You'll get a couple dollars in interest in a savings account, maybe, but then lose it again when you have to pay another wire transfer charge. That's assuming though that they actually process...

Here's a copy of the guidance they put out, available at all the licensing offices. Unfortunately it does say that having a clean form 97 does not equate to being suitable for on road use.

Thank you, very useful picture to see where they are actually lifting from.

EDIT: it's not directly about the original topic, but since this is what comes up when I search for titling HMMWV in Washington, this seemed like an appropriate place to add it. If it's too far off topic I apologize, and hope someone will point out to me a better place to put it. It's been a...

I can't answer the question directly, but I'm sure it also depends on what year/version of the HMMWV that you are talking about. I think the earlier M998 had a lighter frame, but the newest uparmored ones can weigh in at twice what the early ones did, so those dimensions don't surprise me at...

I know it's been a while, but thought I would add something to this. I found one, and only one website that lists the 6TMF as a 1225CCA battery. They also listed it as AGM, which it is not. It's just the Maintenance Free version of the 6TL, still a flooded lead acid battery. Every other...

The early M998s had a 24v 60 amp generator, no tap in the middle for 12v. If you used the 12v from the rear battery, the front battery would get over charged, and the rear battery would never get back to being fully charged. A good way to kill batteries if you were drawing more than a very...

I'm kind of new to 24V wiring in trucks, but since it's a dual output alternator, can the alternator be hooked up to the starting batteries as normal, then wire a third battery in parallel with the second battery, and possibly use some type of an isolation relay to separate it from the system...

My parents both did WSU, I did Capital High School. Honestly though, I mostly just like the cat, and Cougar was already taken as a name here.

Now that that is over with, I do want to thank the people that provided me with useful information and supported this idea. This is still just one option I am considering, It's still at least a month or two until my EUC clears, and by then I may have a pickup truck and some sort of trailer...

While I do appreciate advice aimed at increasing the safety of hauling a load, an F450 with a flat bed on it is the very definition of a "flatbed". As for "high centering it" if my intention was to block it in the center and only the center, then yes, the arguments you have listed would be...

Yes, and I did mention that it would be removed before I left to go pick up the HMMWV. If the GP forklift driver screws up, it doesn't matter how thick the headache rack is, something will give. Looking at the forklift in the pics I've seen of them loading, it doesn't appear to have side...

That's not a bad idea. Main reasons I was thinking of using timbers was I don't know how accommodating the forklift operator at the Yermo yard is going to be, whether they will let me take my time and remove the wheels and position them on the flatbed before loading, or if they are just going...

Truck is a base model 2000 F450 with the 7.3l diesel. Flatbed is 12 feet long. I have some 1/4" by 2" steel welded under the edge of the bed, but I plan that most of my straps and chains for this load will run down to the frame as it's stronger/more secure than flat iron welded every 16...

I have no plans to haul it on a short trailer, any trailer I might use would be longer than the HMMWV and rated for more than the 6k lbs load that would be necessary. Short trailers are just a pain to haul in the first place, and much more prone to issues when towing. What I've been discussing...

Thank you very much for that measurement. That's about where I thought it would be.

I'd be more than willing to spend that on a towbar for the HMMWV if I thought it was the best option, but from all the threads here everyone seems to recommend picking up the HMMWV and getting it home to check it out before rolling it down the road. That would be flat towing it for 900 miles...
