Point taken on the tires. Sadly, I won't be in a position to fly in a whole set of wheels/tires just for one run.

You can read the Wikipedia page, for some insights. Here's another article. Lots of ads in the 2nd one. Think a properly outfitted Deuce would be ok? The 2nd article I linked mentions you cross over 900 dunes and it recommends no heavy trucks. I'm posting here because my Deuce has been...

Some things you don't let go of.

Added front winch, HF 12k lbs. Already have a Mile Marker in the back. Also added brush guard.

Method 105 beadlock wheels, 17x8.5 & Yokohama Geolander MT G003 37x12.5R17 Went with civilian wheels/tires because of the price of stock tire sizes. Even used tires have a big shipping cost - not everyone lives near suppliers. The offset isn't perfect but I won't be carrying much load most...

I could've sworn I posted this under HMMWV. Could a mod move it there?

Nothing significant. I didn't need it. I told my friend he could have it, but it just came down to space/storage. There was one for sale around here on Craigslist recently for $200. He has kept the chassis and is planning on using that to create an off-road toy.

Simultaneously making every other humvee slightly more rarer/valuable. My M1114 body at the scrap yard. 610 lbs...got $62 for it.

So, the 6.5 had some issues, the least of which we discovered that this vehicle had spent some serious time at least partially submerged. There was water in places that weren't meant to have water and it was still there months (years?) later when I took delivery.

Ok, so, I have a M1097R1. Now, according to the literature and the auction listing it was supposed to have a 6.5l, but it doesn't it has the 6.2l and it's still a 3 speed. Bought a M1114 with a wrecked front end that came with a 6.5l, turbo & 4 speed. The plan was to grab whatever could be...

New shoes. Method 105 17x8.5 + Yokohama Geolander MT 37x12.5R17. Both were cheaper than replacing the tires alone, in the stock size. They are a little bigger than stock. It's mostly for off-road use.

Yep, got that. I was just responding to that notion.

Just curious what you want to use it for, for consideration. This brings me back to my original point - commercially produced RV's use almost paper thin aluminum skins. However, unless you have a local source or deep pockets ACM panels can get very expensive due to shipping. I will probably...

I would like to point out that what factories do to vans/RV are often driven by cost when they are building thousands. You are building 1. Companies pinch pennies. If a better solution might cost a little more, consider it. You're not reinventing the wheel, you're making a better one. Will...

Hope I'm not stepping on the toes of the 1 bidder, who could be on SS. GSA Auctions, General Services Administration, Government Site for Auctions (realestatesales.gov) Buyer is responsible for completing the End Use Certificate and bringing the aircraft into compliance with 14 CFR Chapter or...

Those steps use a special hinge for the threshold attachment. You can see the cabinet sized version in these pics. The second pic shows how they attach. In order to use their method I would have to buy at least one of their steps (to get the hinge) and modify it. I figure the cost to be...

Maybe I'll mount it where the gunner's seat is, stick some ice in it and keep drinks there.

I thought that was called a "seat".

Can't do a search because I don't know what it is or even where it goes. It was a loose part that was on the floor of a M1114 with a destroyed front end that I bought for parts. The attachment pins are the kind that are somewhat quick release. Obviously, it must go somewhere that you...

The picture in post #10 shows two fuel tanks standing up - they will be mounted flat. Believe me, water tanks don't cost anywhere near what these did. Post #1 has one of my sub-floor drawings. The fuel tanks are shaded orange in the drawing. The two tanks at the top of the drawing are for...
