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. 🍻
it looks great. good job. good choice with this wheel holder. The car looks better and better. I improve my Humvee as well as you do. Greetings from Poland
Hello to Poland from the USA, thank you so much for following our Journey! We have so many great videos coming up next like deep water fording components, winch installation, slant back and hard top installation, and more - so feel free to stay tuned :) We would love to see the progress of your Humvee as well, you're welcome to follow us on Instagram and share photos with us!
Good luck with your install! You'll love it :) It's sometimes in the way, like when you want to open the tailgate, but besides that it's an awesome upgrade!
@@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.
I know!! I love this tire carrier, it looks great and very sturdy too but it gets pretty expensive quick! We are fortunate to have purchased it last year when things were less expensive.
@@astr0creep6x6x6 I bought after market one for 250$. From Walmart, I think it's made in China but construction is very solid. Also tire sits lower giving me better rear view.
@@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.
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.
Hey Thomas, good to hear from you! We apologize, we had some family situation we've been taking care of, but we'll be back with more videos coming very soon! :)
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 :)
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 :)
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
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!
Rhino is the brand of the tire carrier and the Duramax V8 engine is a family of 6.6 liter Diesel V8 engines produced by DMAX, General Motors etc.. Hope it helps you to understand better! :)
Hey, I am not sure - Rhino sells a lot of different carriers so you may be able to find something that would work for your car. I know this one specifically is for the Humvee and is what the military uses - hope it helps, and hope you find what you're looking for. :)
@@dykepepsi I've got both a Hummer H1 and a FJ Cruiser. The carrier alone is the weight of one FJ Cruiser spare tire. The bumper would not be able to handle the weight of a rig like this - you'd need to replace the bumper before you considered anything close to a rhino.
