Description
Once back in Charlotte I went to the DMV to have the title transferred. Long story short, a NC DMV inspector came by the house to verify that it was in fact a legal HMMWV, and could be titled in NC as an on-road vehicle. He had obviously never encountered one of these in 20+ years and was quite excited about it. Everything was verified and the title transferred as expected. ÂI soon decided to continue restoring the vehicle and found out that a former US Military and KASCAR 4WD recommended HMMWV mechanic lived and worked in the area. He replaced the suspension, tires, etc to improve on road performance, drivability and comfort. The old style military run-flats and 2 piece rims were replaced with the newer style Mil-Spec BFG radial MTs and one piece steel rims. This made a world of difference on and off road. I basically asked him what could be improved (as opposed to what needed to be replaced) and gave him the green light. The result is a full mechanical restoration of a piece of military history. Full list of repairs/replaced parts available to serious buyers.
My HMMWV is now titled, registered, inspected, mechanically excellent, easy to handle and extremely smooth on the road.Â
I decided to take it to Uwharrie National Forest's ORV park to see how it performed off the pavement. The HMMWV walked up, down, over, and sideways on every obstacle we found in the park. We even pulled a U-turn half way down the steepest hill we could find to go back up and green light som
