    It stays loose. It locks the carrier open so it doesn't move if you're not on level ground. Cool build.

    Well, an update to my previous comment. My M-1123 still has no tire carrier. But, just bought a second HMMWV. It's a M-1151A1. That truck has a carrier witch is rare to find on the slant backs. 🍻

      I agree! Very hard to find nowadays. I love the M-115A1, share some pictures with us on Instagram if you would like. We would love to see it!

      Awesome! I love the Rhino carrier as well, I have no regrets installing it - absolutely the best tire carrier for the Humvee, in my opinion :)

      @@theinspiredjourney got it done! Works awesome. Had to order new thrust bushings as mine didn’t come with them (it was free, so I’ll take a few missing parts!). I’m thinking of wiring a third brake light into it and possibly putting my license plate there too.

      @@mrdato116 the lifting mechanism is nothing more than the body of a ratcheting chain binder. The HMMWV market has gone mental. I am still pissed about the price of a C-pillar, its shipping weight, and the fact that I can get a full rocker assembly shipped for a 1999 7.3 diesel for a tiny fraction of the so-called shipping cost of the already ex-fucking-spensive C-Pillar.

    Make sure you replace your spindle nuts with Bluehummer/MM locking spindle nuts. Also you might want to go ahead and install the civilian anti-decapitation brackets on the hood and firewall.

      That is a tough one! They are not easy to get. I would try facebook marketplace in Humvee groups or ebay to start. I think they would be your best bet. Every once in a while a new one comes up. It took us a while to find ours but it was well worth it! Hope it helps :)

    The only thing I don’t like about these is that they look really slow to get out of the way to access the tailgate. For example I pull up to the transfer station and the guys start opening my tailgate with this not so much.

    Would you please be willing to send me a list of bolts and where they go and where to get them from so I can refurbish all the bolts on both of my trucks I have two M1097A2 and need every bolt replaced. Maybe you have like a list to make it easier for reference

      I’ve got two of them and looks like you replaced all with new bolts, or at least the bumper, and I would like to do the same

    • @theinspiredjourney
      @theinspiredjourney  Рік тому

      Unfortunately I don't have a list like that. I did put new bolts on the airlift bumper since my airlift bumper didn't come with any bolts so I had to get some. On the truck itself I only replaced bolts that needed replacements if visually didn't look good. My best option for a good supplier of bolts and good grade quality was Tractor Supply in bulk, but that's just my experience. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

      Hey! Thank you :)
      Not sure if you're referring to the Rhino carrier or the tarp, lol. The tarp is no longer there, it was a quick solution for us before we were able to get the roof installed, so we'd be able to
      keep the rain out, and some heat in during the winter... although we did install a hard top slant back, which anyway gets rid of any rear view, lol. In general Humvees suck when it comes to good side or rear view...
      Thanks for watching :)
