    All true. Only missing one bit of information - I renewed (and paid) on the 16th. I've tried logging out and back in but no change.

    You never want to see this under your HMMWV

    It waited for good weather - see how much it loves you?

    M1101 trailer cover support bows

    Another possibility is to do what I did - make some. I found a good industrial electrician (and some of their elaborate conduit runs look like works of art) to bend some inexpensive electrical conduit. It took him maybe 20 minutes to do in his driveway. The benefits to the conduit is its...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yeah, but I don't want my palms getting hairy... That one link has the wrench for cheap enough I may get one, but the home depot pipe is working great.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Drove out to Tacoma Screw after work and picked up some longer bolts - the bumper bolts were too short to get at least three threads past the locknut. New locknuts as well. Stopped at home depot and bought a 18" length of pre-cut 1/2" black iron pipe to hold me over until I can find a...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Spare tire carrier installed. Found one local for $500 - too good to pass up. Only need the wrench.

    'Project Reliability' - A weenie focused bulletproofing

    Wow, this already looks loads better than the last time I saw it! All things considered, you're making great progress and props for getting the paint done in WA in the rainy season. Most of us would put it off until summer, but it's a great morale booster to have it looking so good while you...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    My M1009 died returning from the mountains. Engine quit and I coasted to a stop, restarted right off and drove another five miles or so and it quit again. This cycle repeated, each cycle becoming shorter and shorter until it finally quit for good. The next day it started right up, ran a few...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    The last time these two trucks were out in public together was on the transporter up from RWH. RCamacho's 1151 is looking incredible; a lot of hard work went into making it so. His M1151 was turning a lot of heads, along the road and from other drivers. We convoyed through town going to...

    48" inch Hi Jack Lift

    I've used a jack like that to lift one front wheel - but NOT using the tie-down ring. Under the ring is a notch in the bracket which the jack will fit into.

    Iowa City Iowa

    Help! I won a GovLiq auction I could swear said shipping was available before I bid, and now that I have won it says shipping is not available. :mad: Looking for someone in the area to pick it up and mail it out. Small item, should fit in a med flat-rate box. $30 for the service do it?

    Western WA Rollcall

    I'm confused. What's a "thing with them"? Hagerty is the broker, they don't actually insure my vehicle. I forget the name of the actual insurance carrier, but it's legitimate insurance.
