Does anyone have, or could they point me in the direction to find, the diagrams for hooking up the newer-model tachometer in a Humvee? I'm referring to the model that mounts up next to the wiper motor, not on the doghouse... it's already been installed... but was apparently never hooked up...

Yeah, not sure about actually firing anything from the launchers... I'm just looking for replicas.

I am very interested... PM me please!

If you just want the slantback look, then that's the best way to go. Honestly, I've got no use for the weapons/ammo mounts or armor plating in my M1026, but we're just keeping that all in there because they're factory-installed hardware and keep the truck authentic. As far as leaking... as...

The reason behind that, from what I've learned, is because the majority of civilian-owned Humvees out there for sale are from the late '90s USMC auctions in Barstow and Atlanta... 98% of those auctioned vehicles were 1986-1987 M998s... soft-tops. There were a few "rare" models released... some...

Why not go with 686 tan so it'll retain that military look? If you're sold on black, flat/matte would probably look better. Gloss black might give it too much of a "hummerfied" look.

I have a pair of $9 noise-canceling earplugs that I wear when shooting. I've just started wearing those while driving the M1026... they make even freeway driving very pleasant, and they still comply with state law.

Augi, Welcome aboard! You've come to the right place... I'm a new Humvee owner myself, and this board as well as G503.com has helped me gain a wealth of knowledge regarding these trucks. As far as the photos you posted, that metal post is the Glow Plug Controller... that, coupled with the...

Does anybody know where I could get some replica smoke launchers to mount onto my HMMWV? I'm looking for the roof-mounted type like this:

Just realized I never came back to update my registration status... So after being more or less jerked around for 6 months by the title company that assured us it would be "no problem" to title and register the Humvee, they finally stopped returning our calls all together about 3 months back...

I'm hoping for the sake of $$$ that it won't require a total replacement of the wiring harnesses, but that's looking like it might be a possibility. Right now, there seems to be a combination of mechanical and electrical issues with the truck... Probable Mechanical Issues: - the engine can...

Thanks for the recommendation. I've got a guy coming to take a look at it who was a diesel mechanic in the Army and worked on HMMWVs... he should be able to confirm my list of needed repairs, but he's already said he probably won't be able to fix them without proper tools and equipment. That's...

Figure it's a long shot, but it can't hurt to ask... Does anyone know of a mechanic in or around Sacramento, CA who could do some mechanical/electrical maintenance on a HMMWV? I had a friend's M1044 dropped off in my driveway the other night that's running, but needs a lot more work done...

I know a contractor who can cut and build a set of front half-doors for $300. PM me if interested and I'll put you in contact with him.

I've seen a few fake ones before... they look pretty authentic to the untrained eye.

Heh... good to know my video got some views. :driver:

Most vehicles after '81 have the standard 17 digit VIN... with the first 11 digits acting as a code to identify the vehicle make, model, weight, engine, transmission, fuel type, seatbelt configuration, body style, manufacture year, etc... then the last 6 digits are the individual vehicle...

Got some updated photos of the Humvee... aside from still needing new tires, the rest of the vehicle is basically complete:

The contractor who's refurbished this HMMWV for us has 12 more rolling chassis in various stages of completion... technically 13 if Blackwater/Xe decides to back out of their order. They're a mix of USMC, US Navy, and US Army trucks and come with, and without, SF-97 forms. Once he's done with...

Well, after calling around to about a dozen insurance companies and getting rejected all around, we finally just created a proper VIN for the vehicle... now the first 11 digits show up in the computers as a '91 AM General SUV, and the last 6 digits are the actual serial number. With the new...
