    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    Very interesting that yours has the underbody protection kit installed. I have seen complete kits around $1k and pieces sold but can't recall a truck sold with it installed. Nice score and bonus.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    interesting to see the wrecked ones has supplemental red lights on the front corners and one of the "new" ones has a clear light. Are these mp units ? and those are flashers? Also what is the wording on the license plates? Never seen tactical vehicles with road plates.

    Water Pump Broken Bolt

    515 should work or any good quality rtv silicone. For the bolts., I like to use any of the Teflon white brush on sealers like loctite 565 0r 567 etc. Will also act as an antisieze lubricant.

    Registering a NEWER Humvee in New Hampshire

    My son lived and worked in NH for 2 years. He told the vehichle inspection was extremely thorough. Not a mv but nothing like here in LA that is a very simple safety check. Check your frame to make sure there is no rust. Sometimes on older m998 the frame held water and rusted.His inspector was...

    How to Prove Date of Manufacture?

    I believe the original data plate is removed when they are uparmored and a new one installed. OE they are riveted not screwed in. Using the serial number to determine build is your best. Doubt you are going to find another data plate like the one referenced. Another long shot is there sometimes...

    Title/register a trailer with only a bill of sale - Louisiana

    My recommendation on the trailer is to register it in Maine. Much cheaper and no title required. You will need a bill of sale with manufacturer and vin to do so. If you don't have those, be very weary if trailer is not home made as if it is a legit trailer, there will be a data plate of some...

    IDLER ARM BROKE

    In another lifetime I sold parts for 20 years.I do not recall seeing that kind of failure in an idler arm. Scary to think the loss of steering..... What is the back story? On trail, on road, chasing zombies?

    IDLER ARM BROKE

    I wish moog would sell these items directly to us. AMG contract folks made a great job of locking up access to these parts as propriety so they control the market. Damn shame the crap these firms put out. A cracked idler arm sounds like a class action lawsuit if multiple failures can be...
