Downloaded all the TM’s from the top of this forum. Wow. Takes time.

I’m waiting on Two M1151 and two M1114. One since January, two since February, and last since March. Que Cera Cera.

Wow! The new member gets off to an amazing start. Props!

Still waiting on my January purchase. But I’m in no rush. M1165 has been kicking my a$$. Fortunately I have been lucky enough to work with Eric, the HMMWV whisperer .

With swear jar at the ready, I tackled the oil cooler. A day earlier a double rainbow gave me hope that I might meet with success. The shallow soft steel hex heads are… challenging. Blow torch for each one. Loosen and tighten technique. Two came out easily. One came out after I hammered in a...

Had no happiness with glow plug #8. Looks like 17 year old rust belt engine glow plugs have grown roots. Cracked off at neck. Not looking forward to extraction. Might leave it if others come out. No joy in Mudville today. Others are now percolating in penetrating oil. Blow torch and slow...

Dude??!!

Great Jack, but NOT light. Wear your back brace.

place a bumper or tennis ball on/around/over the antenna to prevent it from hitting and scraping paint on the hard top while driving. Ask me how I know. 😉👍

Arctic heater switches? Now we know what’s causing polar arctic warming. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachments/b-roll1-jpg.917144/

Austin is solid.

Everything you ever want to know about rebuilding your PCB EESS to bulletproof. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/how-to-bypass-pcb-i-am-aware-some-hmmwv-owners-have-done-it.182560/ EDIT- The SSI solid state box sucks. And it is almost impossible to trace the failure points. Just rebuild...

Really super nice!

Sand or etch the surface so paint adheres.

As posted on my Project Joshua M1165 log, spent the last five days filling missing fluids, purging air, and bypassing the oil cooler. Did this all “free range”. Healthier mechanic garages yield healthier rigs according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Automobiles.

Air intake my friend. I might disassemble and clean that system.

Looks great BUT when sanding and prepping I typically cover all air intakes.

Towing it with that Corvette, I see.

Traditional HMMWV mirrors suck. Hard to adjust passenger side without assistant. Big. Blocky. Shaky. essentially they are the same mirrors on 1960’s school buses. It’s not about looks, it is about function. Any modern retractable mirror is an improvement IMHO.
