    M998 soft doors - repair or replace?

    For those of you that are not familiar with polishing, this is the same principle as polishing the paint job on a car. Step 1, take a wet rag and clean the windows Step 2, do only one side of the window at a time, heat is the enemy here, you will feel the warmth on the window when you start...

    M998 soft doors - repair or replace?

    Well, after reading about the Meguiar's PlastX , I fired up the Humvee and went and got a bottle, this stuff is great, I tried with a rag but quickly used my 3' polisher. I spent about 10 mins per window, I did the insides and out I took before and after pics, nearly every mark came off, I have...

    the real cost of owning a HMMWV

    It all depends on how crazy you want to go about it, you can buy and do some maintenance and have a really fun vehicle to drive. My recommendations would be: Research first, if it's been maintain or comes with maintenance records Find the vehicle that is the most complete for you, meaning, if...

    I have 26 Grade 8 , 1/2 bolt holding mine to the frame Go to Tractor Supply and get some spares, most of them are 3" or 3"1/2 Bolt depot, is also good, get the locking nuts and buy 100 pack of flat washers, you will need them somewhere

    Towing HMMVW with HMMWV.

    Yep, my bad, I was certain that they would be bullet proof in order to protect our troops. The way I see it there's never enough protection for them. The current production Expanded Capacity Vehicle (ECV) model M1113 has a payload of 5,100 lbs. That is over 2 ½ tons, or very nearly the M1113's...

    Towing HMMVW with HMMWV.

    I did install the airlift bumper with the reinforcement, I think that I have 26 1/2 grade 8 bolt holding it to the back of the truck, I am short of the 2 shorter brackets going to the pintle , you would think that the bumper could pull anything, guess not. By the way , if someone has the shorter...

    Towing HMMVW with HMMWV.

    So, just asking, if a fully loaded Humvee comes in at 20K and can run around with all of that extra weight, and a de militerized is about 5,200, can't you apply the lost of the 15k to pull another vehicle ? Again, just asking...

    Hmmwv oil sample analysis

    Like others have stated, the odometer can be changed at any time. Get a real oil gauge and see where that is going, mine usualy goes high at first start then goes to the 15-20 range once warmed up. The only way I know that mine was low milleage is that iI replaced the rear main oil seal, so I...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    I understand that you are not in the mass production, that's the tuff part, you can get a set of four door on fleabay for a jeep under $500.00 What would be a ballpark figure for a set a four, any ideas, maybe we can post something for a limited run of doors and see how many would be interested...
