    Installing the H1 Rocker Panel Protection on Hmmwv

    I have heard some people install these by drilling through the floor of the truck and using GD-8 bolts, washers, & nuts without using a bracket. Not sure if thats a secure method of installing as its not making use of a bracket but I am open to feedback.

    What are some real world benefits of the REV over the ECV? I understand it has the upgrade to the cooling stack (geared fan) and the cooled differentials but I'm not sure how meaningful the geared fan is over the ECV version or the cooled differentials. Both models have the willwood brakes and...

    Rhino Tire Carrier - Washer Specs

    Just like Action said, they bend due to misuse or not being properly secured when driving. Ultimately, it's user error. Lol

    Rhino Tire Carrier - Washer Specs

    Hello All, I was able to finally locate a rhino tire carrier. However, the company that makes them no longer sells the repair kit and the documentation isn't specific enough regarding the pivot pin retainer washer specs. The retainer washer can be seen in the adjoining pics. Does anyone per...

    How many HMMWVs are still in the pipeline to be auctioned?

    In the future I will likely electrify mine once the Tesla conversions are reliable and easy to DIY.

    Has anyone priced paint recently? Prices are insane

    The clear protects the paint from scratches better than without. Trying to get a little more protection from brush and light branches when I take it off pavement. Trying to keep the paint in decent condition as long as possible but I get your point.

    Has anyone priced paint recently? Prices are insane

    I am in the process of painting my truck and I was shocked at the price of materials for paint. For decent, solvent based paint (Valspar) 2 Gallons of paint, primer, clear coat, reducer, hardener, etc. price points are coming in over 2k just for materials. We are in a different world today.

    How many HMMWVs are still in the pipeline to be auctioned?

    Does anyone have an idea just how many more Hmmwvs will be headed to auction? I saw a post earlier this week that the Marines are running out of Hmmwvs that are available to be sent for auction. I have no idea if this is true but I am curious as to how many more Hmmwvs will be auctioned off.
