    Not another blinking question

    I found it. This is the bulb that will fix the problem, at least it did for me and others. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083ZKD76K/ref=pe_386300_440135490_TE_simp_item_image?th=1

    Arrival of 2nd HMMWV M1151A1

    Trust me, you don't. The install is a major PITA and after you're done, get ready for disappointment. Even with every single louver closed, the amount of air expelled through that one by the driver's knee is imperceptible. Just cap them off at each end and get on with your life.

    Windshield washer tank cap needed

    You're gonna make us work for it... :sneaky: What vehicle? If it's the HMMWV in your avatar, then I might have one. PM me your address and I'll drop it in the mail.

    Not another blinking question

    If the turns flash with the bulb removed from the signal stalk, you can live with it like that, or replace that bulb with the one that fixes the problem. I forget the part number, I think it's available on amazon.

    Common HMMWV Questions from observers....

    When I had my M1009 I was mortified if someone thought I painted a K5 in camo - "It came that way from the factory!" I'd be equally mortified if someone thought my 1165 was one of those SUV conversion kits... :eek: "They park them all over on the base, and there's no keys, so..." Ironically...

    Entry Level M1078 in Western WA Opportunity

    A friend has a very nice M1078 he needs to move. He offered it to me for a steal of a price and as much as it pains me, I really don't have room for it in suburbia. I don't know a lot about it, but I saw it start and it runs great; he's moved it around on his proterty so it appears to drive...

    WA GMV Roof, Rear Rack Assembly, and Doors

    I recently picked up a small truckload of HMMWV parts, which included this GMV roof and rear rack assembly. It won't work well with my M1165 without some fitting and welding (a skill I sadly do not have). I am pretty sure the roof is authentic, the rear rack is either field improvised or home...

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Took the Chevy mag wheels off and listed them for sale, put two good HMMWV wheels and tires on the trailer. Got to looking at it, decided to pull out the pressure washer and wash the outside of the trailer, decided to do the tarp as well, then figured I may as well do the inside of the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I let the fuel level drop below a half tank to check what kind of MPG I'm getting. Calculated out at 9.6

    Local M1114 Owners?

    Good morning all! I recently picked up a small truckload of HMMWV parts, which included a super rare GMV roof and rear rack assembly. It won't work well with my M1165 without some fitting and welding (a skill I sadly do not have). Trying to gauge interest if anyone has a M1114 model (direct...

    Map of States That Are or Are Not HMMWV Friendly

    Not talking about the insurance company, talking about an accident investigator looking into your LLC and determining it doesn't do any business, and exists merely to circumvent a law. The Revokable Trust doesn't have that pitfall.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    I've never pulled the M1101 with anything other than the Grand Cherokee. The HMMWV is the Prime Mover for it though, and Saturday I need to pick up some HMMWV parts. First, I had to deal with the ball of little b@stards, saw them swirling around when I was getting ready to connect, and used...
