    Tie rod end cross reference

    I believe these are oe moog but amg made them propriety so you wont find them aftermarket. Just amg direct or any of the parts dealers like mac or kascar etc....

    Rear winch suggestions

    many reports of folks here on other posts not happy with them and allegations of chinacom parts on some items. Buyer be aware. @86humv had the plates in the past. Might be worth a pm.

    Are all good trucks gone?

    On the flip side, I saw a nice tan m1097a2 that looked in decent condition in Tx go for $4k and another one less nice but still $4k in Al. Just have to look and be flexible.

    Rhinolift Tire Carrier for a M1045A2?

    those LEO mounts appear to be Ibis Tek. They typically are offset so another carrier for Fuel/Water cans can go on left. Interesting info on the Rhino webpage as they seem to have a refurb lift available direct and I also saw a kit to mount without an airlift bumper.

    HMMWV 6.5 Lift Pump Life

    If you are removing the vent, then the standard 2 line civy pump will work just fine.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    I have only seen one at a surplus store in Tx. I was tempted but had no practical use for it. I wonder if we shopped the same store😀

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    I have seen this truck at veterans parades and the New Orleans Air show. This truck looked very average in condition but it was special as it is a former forward air controller with the amtech hard top. Whats makes it special is that is has the extra small door for a slide out antenna base. They...

    Are all good trucks gone?

    up-armored trucks in current or reserve inventory- Yes. DLA surplus going to GP- not likely.

    Pawn Stars look at a HMMWV

    Got to tell ya that cracks me up. BTW, we all don't speak like that down yonder...... Always wondered why they don't do that for example with Northern Law Maine or New Hampshire :) Now, that is some thick accents ;-)

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    I have seen a local painted black air national guard recruiter eye candy for shows & exhibits etc.. Very few are painted black and the one I saw was rather sloppy.

    REV truck?

    Verify 1st, I understand early models were coolant.

    Two silly oil change questions...

    It is normal for diesels to get black quickly. Even new oil will darken much faster than maybe what you are used to in a gas engine. Many diesel oils start off darker anyway because of the additive package. I believe you probably had residue still left as impossible to drain fully. I would not...

    DWF exhaust pipe question

    That simple support is stupid crazy priced and hard to find so that is a big plus. I have no personal experience but have seen others post about shortening the lower pipe and rewelding it.

    DWF exhaust pipe question

    $425 for a complete kit is very very reasonable... Shipping of $100 is also very reasonable. I have sold pipes only and paid more than that to ship due to oversize and dimensional weight.

    DWF exhaust pipe question

    What pipe do you have? There is an up armored exhaust pipe that sits further away from the body? Did your truck have the USMC mak bolt on ? I suspect you have a truck with armour removed but with armour exhaust pipe. Besides the mentioned washers and grommets there is an inner brace/mount as...

    Tie Rod End Recommendations?

    Interesting information. I had not seen any retail chassis/multi purpose tubes of grease that were silicone. I always like using a red, blue, or green modern products. I tend to stay away from the old school tan/brown peanut butter lithium greases. Who sells Nye products retail?

    Tie Rod End Recommendations?

    It appears Moog is OE equipment but does not release the proprietary parts to the aftermarket and has to be sourced through AMG or one of its distributiors or surplus.
