RetiredWarHorses is sending me a new rod assembly. I will replace the assembly. I may have been able to spend the effort to correct it, but now I should have a clean solution. Plus, it is in the 40s and raining now. too cold to persuade the assembly to cooperate.

Great feedback. I went to Brakes Plus and they were able to get me on the lift and run an alignment check. All 4 tires were out of alignment toe-out, but ok on the camber and caster. They were able to zero the toe for 3 of four but that problem tire adjustment rod was not moving (-1.16). We...

Ok, Thanks Steve. -24 Chapter 34 Suspension Maintenance. That should be fun. Any ideas on where to find shims - if I need them?

My 1151 has a tire wear issue. The left rear tire appears to only be wearing on the inside and basically has ruined the tire. Any ideas on why and remediation prior to replacing?

Decided to get the 1151A1 weighed so I could reduce my yearly tabs. I figured it would drop to 5000-6000 lbs. Nope, right at 8,000lbs. Dang thing is heavy. Here is a picture from the summer trip to an OHV. Great fun was had driving thru mud and water, and exploring dysfunctional trails and hills.

I am starting to work on the 1114. it was missing the gear shift button. I printed one on my 3D printer. Seems to look and work fine.

Those lights are a home brew. I got my parts off of amazon and 3D printed the housing. I wanted a water resistant, broad voltage input multi color and a push button on off (with memory) so that I can have them all on one color and then use the front switch to turn them all on-off and maintain...

BTW, I took a headset to the gun range as ear protection, and it really works well. they include the ambient noise function so i can hear around me but it clips the gun noise. it seems to be equivalent to a set of standard ear muffs.

Also in those pictures is my VIC3 installation with each seat having a FFCS and the MCS. I also installed two of the bluetooth adaptors so we can communicate on two cell phones, depending upon the MCS setup. If you look closely, I built hangers for each of the head sets. not perfect but it makes...

Built and installed my interior lights for my 1151A1. there is a light over each door, and then two in the hatchback area, one facing forward when the hatch is down, and one facing aft when the hatch is down. each have individual buttons to control on/off, red, blue, green, white. and then I...

I have been looking for a compatible extinguisher. Mind sharing where you found that please?

Nice. For me the rear door gap is caused by how the door is aligned with the hinges. If done correctly, the should not be a gap at the top. Well, no more of a gap than elsewhere. When I drilled my door hinges, I lacked that information. The door is a bit high and I have a slight gap at the...

I use washers on both sides and everything is metal primed and then surface painted. but yeah, my truck is a battery. my adds are stainless, then the existing bolts are anodized steel, there are some chromium plated bolts, and then steel plates, different types of AL, brackets, etc.

I just used stainless bolts and nuts. Lot of them. I think it gives the truck a rugged finished look.

finally got my Vic-3 four ffcs stations installed along with dual bluetooth (plugged into A and B radio ports). I know the ffcs with four is overkill for a hmmwv but i could so i did. mounted each one within easy access to each seat, and with dual bluetooth, can have two cell phones connected...
