    Help ID sheathed cable.

    This one on eBay is 40" in length and mine is 45", but I would think longer is better than shorter. That's what my wife tells me, anyway...

    Help ID sheathed cable.

    One end is the barrel and the other end is not actually a fitting, like I thought, but three seperate rubber gromets.

    Help ID sheathed cable.

    Picked up some NOS parts from an estate auction and there were 90 of these cables in a box of parts. All the other parts were Humvee, so I'm making a presumption here. Thinking maybe throttle cable, but pics I see show entire cable length is sheathed. This one is 45" long with 18" beint...

    Need help ID seat frame

    Picked up this seat frame at a recent auction where most of the vehicles were large trucks or M37's. Don't think this is M37. Hinge on forward support seems like it would be a front seat to swivel forward and allow acces to rear. Adjustable slide, so not early military. There were also a few...

    Calling All Cars! Need as much info as I can get on MP Humvees.

    Ft. Gordon in Augusta, GA is soon to become Ft Eisenhower and representatives of the family will be at a ceremony in October of this year and they have reached out to the GA MVPA for a MP Humvee as Ft. Gordon was home to an MP training command and this will be a static display during this...

    M998 shift lever button will not depress

    Got it with a little persuasion from the top, haven't been underneath it yet, some hitchhikers with stingers are still lurking about. But, when we shift, the four wheel lever also wants to move with it, so need to sort that out. Going to tent the truck today with some bug bombs and retake...

    M998 shift lever button will not depress

    Picked up two M998s at a recent auction, one runner and one parts. Installed new batteries today and fired the runner right up and it sounds great. Trans in neutral and when I went to put it in gear, the shift lever button is up and out but will not depress. Put some WD40 on it and tapped...

    Door Filler Panel Fastener Question

    I used a 1/4" box end wrench and they came off. I'll pull the hinges off the other M998 and mount them in preperation for the soft doors. Maybe this thread will help the next guy.

    Door Filler Panel Fastener Question

    Yes, it is the 12 point size that I need. If it is not a special tool, thn I need to purchase a 12 point socket and don't need a whole set. But...if I have to, I have to. All my 1/4" drive sockets are six sided and I can't find one that grabs without slipping and I don't want to round these over.

    Door Filler Panel Fastener Question

    Picked up two M998s, one a two door and one a four door and one runs and one does not and I want to switch the body panels around to get a running four man soft top. Anyway, the two rear door filler panels are held in place with a slotted fastener that uses the rear seat back fastening system...

    Width of M998 from mirror to mirror?

    I know most people are interested in the width of a Humvee from tire to tire, but I'm building a lean to pole barn while my M998 is in the shop and not on site. I want to make one bay wide enough to handle the M998. Anyone know what the width is from outside mirror to outside mirror? I know...

    Slant back jerry can/water can mounting clips?

    I saw that listing a while ago. Don't need 10, but can't beat the price. Unless you don't need all 10 of yours and want to part with a few???

    Slant back jerry can/water can mounting clips?

    Transferred slant back from 1151 to my 998. Inside the 1151 rear tub were two jerry can mounts and one Scepter water can mount. I'd like to transfer the hardware to the 998, but have some questions first. In the pics, the two mounts on the drivers side, one fuel and one water, have what...

    AMGeneral Tailgate logo decal

    This is our M998 marked for USMC. Son wanted some black accents that are not military correct, so black vinyl on black bumper would not be my first choice but it shows up OK on OD Green. If we were to highlight the AMGeneral logo, it would be in black for this truck.

    What turret cover plate do I have? And, whhich do I need?

    We took the ring off and laid it on this plate and rotated it every way we could and the most bolt holes we could catch was four out of 16. And, the ones that were off were not close. With this hatch being an Oshcosh product, we are thinking a different vehicle all together. I have seen the...

    AMGeneral Tailgate logo decal

    So, not for a USMC vehicle. I'll put them in stock for another vehicle that we will mark Army. I have an M715 in the shop, but would use white vinyl on that one. I can always use the vinyl as a paint mask.

    Raining cats and dogs this morning, so can't go out and take pick, but will later of turret ring with the rubber seal and the rubber two piece bushings that I have removed to install a solid steel military issued cover hatch plate. eBay seller represented it would be correct for Humvee, and...

    AMGeneral Tailgate logo decal

    Well, this explains why I got a full set of vinyl markings for my Humvee salad project and it came with two 4 " stars for a USMC vehicle and my son mentioned he had seen stars on the tailgate in pics. My tail gate is embossed with AM General and I can't figure out where to put stars. I'm now...

    Any tips on removing turret ring?

    Got steel cover plate coming to bolt onto the M1151 roof that currently has the 16 bolts holding the large rubber O ring and the rubber bushings in it on the current roof that we have removed the 1/4" steel plates from. After removing the bolts, it appears that this mount was siliconed in place...
