I'm not in front of the truck at the moment, but it's the standard GMV tire carrier that were handbuilt before companies like MSG started making them. Here's a pic I took of an active truck not long ago - it's this exact mount.

Is there enough room to have someone tack it with a tig welder so that you can get the bolt out properly, or is there no room for that?

I finally got the rear-shelf I needed for my GMV and got the toolbox mounted. I'll get it painted up this weekend.....

To each their own I suppose, I can think of a few single spaced notebook pages worth of other things more "bubbafied" than house paint, especially if you maintain the correct colors. People have been doing this for years and it seems to have held up just fine for many folks. Will it last as long...

All of the items in your list are unit issue items (pioneer tools, slave cables) or are required to be removed prior to turning in to DRMO (fire extinguisher), so the likelihood of finding those in your truck would only be due to luck where someone neglected to remove them. The trucks are kept...

Stainless steel fasteners and aluminum?

If you can design, prototype and manufacture one for what you consider to be a reasonable price, then go for it. There's a reason your current options aren't cheap.

Define "reasonably priced". What's unreasonable to you isn't the case for another. I think $1500 for a complete airlift bumper with brackets and a rhino carrier isn't a bad price at all when you break down the cost of all the parts separately. Obviously $1500 is too much for you to spend, so...

It's not a matter of shredding the sidewall - agreed that it would happen regardless. The runflat does allow you to safely and certainly more easily travel though if you do have a flat tire so that you can get to a safer or more appropriate area to change the tire. It's a lot easier to drive on...

Why wouldn't you air down to 20psi? The standard M998 tire spec is darn close to that, so I don't see why you wouldn't. As for removing the run flat, they aren't hurting anything by leaving them in, so why bother - they're still capable of being balanced. Having the run flat is also of benefit...

Are they not balancing them because they're dry rotted or because they're too big? Most shops won't touch them if they're starting to dry rot, in which case do what you know you need to do and replace them. If it's because they're too big, ya just need to find the appropriate shop.

Tonight seemed like a beautiful night to drive under the NOD's.

Thank you for your input. Re-read what I wrote - I acknowledged that. I'm not exactly sure what a "grey" title is as it pertains to a Humvee. Those who need to get creative to get a title get what they get. There are others who followed the procedures though and their state reconsidered -...

Actually, as someone in a moderator/administrator position, you should be holding yourself to a higher standard. Fact is, I don't disagree that registering and titling are problematic from state to state. Fact is, while the disposition code could at some point be changed again, there is no...

While states may refuse to title and the DLA could change the disposition code again, I sincerely doubt that any will ever be taken back. The government wants them gone as much as there is a demand for them. The disposition code wasn't changed just because someone in the government cared about...

Did you even look at the thread? That's what he's telling you. Post the information in that thread and you'll get your answer. While it's not a true 17 digit VIN, the 6 digit serial number effectively becomes the VIN when you register it.

Congratulations, maybe buy a lottery ticket as more often than not, it's found not to match. Again, ya probably shouldn't necessarily rely on it to verify the data plate number, unless you get lucky.

That's an internal identification number that AMG uses and has no correlation to the number on the data plate for purposes of validating vehicle data plate number. If you're lucky, the number may be close, but frequently they aren't.

While I think the thread has run its course, I suggest that shutting out the subject entirely isn't the right approach either. This was probably the first time that the elephent in the room has been more thorougjly discussed here than before. While there was some bickering, there was a lot of...

They aren't out of business and are still making HMMWV's - they also still show up to all of the major military trade shows to promote it.
