    Tail lights with reverse lights built in

    I've never heard of that site. Their page has a bunch of chinese made parts in it, as well as images taken from other sites such as the windshield glass image from the AM general site, with being almost doubled in price. Another example is they have images of the Alpha Custom HMC4 hard top...

    It's alive!!!

    keep the used belt in the spare parts bin in the truck, along with some idler pulley bearings in case you have an idler lock up while driving away from civilization, as there is no guarantee of finding the belt locally.

    Tail lights with reverse lights built in

    Can you do a link instead of just a screenshot? There are both good and bad units that look very similar, so more info will give you better answers

    M1097A2 build thread

    1) Personally I am running these batteries, but there is a little debate as to stick with the military 6T series or use civilian sizes. I am not a purist, and the group 24AGM have been working great for me for years now. https://www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/sli24agmdp 2) A)39.5x13.5...

    It's alive!!!

    The manufacturer's troubleshooting guide is a little easier to follow https://www.ceniehoff.com/Documents/Ctrl_Hyperlink/TG17_uid252021123202.pdf And yes, 3117 and 3135 are both usable on the 200 amp

    M989 vs M989a1

    All I can say is good luck with that. I doubt the hitch extension will make any sort of positive difference, and might make it worse. If you're going to try parking it somewhere it has to be backed into and not in a straight line then I really hope for your sanity sake you also have some type...

    M1097R1 Cooling Problem

    Either you have been buying bad TDMs, or you have a short to ground somewhere in the system that is overloading it and causing the instant failure. Not much else in the system really. Without the TDM installed, you shouldn't be having any overheating issues as the fan should be engaged 100% of...

    Storage charges from the yard

    contacting the yard directly is the best option. As long as you are in contact with them and making it clear you are working on getting the item picked up, they will usually be a bit more lenient than if you just blow them off and show up a week or three late.

    HMMWV IROK Radials ROK-08 39.5x13.5x16.5

    That's probably due to them being around for decades now. Most reviews and feedback tend to be on newer products, and the HMMWV and H1 weren't all that common, not to mention they were and still are expensive vehicles. You're right that specifically finding reviews for HMMWV/H1 with 39.5"...

    HMMWV IROK Radials ROK-08 39.5x13.5x16.5

    That size was manufactured specifically because of the H1 community, as it was the biggest tire you could run without rubbing. You could probably do some H1 image searches on the web and find pictures of it.

    HMMWV IROK Radials ROK-08 39.5x13.5x16.5

    They should fit without issue as long as your springs are not sagging, and since you said M1165 it's unlikely your springs are bad. Remember the stock 37x12.5 tires are designed to fit no issues while using snow chains that add to the diameter and width, so 39.5x13.5 should fit as long as you...

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    I had Les Schwab balance mine, one was 9 oz off. They didn't get the clip on weights on very good; I went over all the exterior ones later after I lost one weight and clamped them down tighter. Haven't lost any more. The Centramatics keep everything in balance at speed, so mostly I just...

    M1097A2 build thread

    I know I bought 3 of them, only used one so far. Another local bought 6 I think, and at least one got damaged in shipping. After that AM General realized their mistake and jacked up the price during the free shipping sales.

    PETLAS Has anyone tried these tires?

    I believe that they say the bead lock rings are tire specific, because unlike the rubber military ones, the PVC ones have zero give to them, so if the size isn't perfect, it can cause issues when you are tightening down the wheel halves. Not sure if it would just make the halves not bolt...

    HMMWV M1123 Clutch Fan control box disconnected

    You can run it forever disconnected and the only thing it will hurt is your fuel economy. As long as the thermostat is doing it's job and opening at the right temp, the engine will come up to operating temp. In winter it would definitely be an issue though. The fan moves a LOT of air...

    Hard vs soft......doors

    Yes. Hard door uses a post type striker, soft doors use an angled wire type latch

    HMMWV M1123 Clutch Fan control box disconnected

    Time Delay Module. It's purpose is to disengage the fan if you stomp all the way down on the throttle. This is primarily for water fording situations, to disengage the fan before entering water, or the fan gets destroyed. It also frees up the power from the fan system if you really need to...
