I know a lot of the members of our community are active or reserve soldiers (to include service men and women of all branches) and quite a few of you are deployed, heading out soon, or on your way back. In a few cases we have some members who are recovering from injuries received in the line of...
Another passion of mine is "Tiny Houses" and small footprint living (not carbon footprint, just square footage) so I review this blog daily: Tiny House Blog - Small House Living
The other day the feature was one of the cooler tiny / mobile houses I've ever seen. I thought there might be some...
Ok - I did a search and nothing came up so here's my question:
What do you think the best way to preserve rubber might be for small rubber parts and larger items? We all know that when exposed to light and air rubber will dry out and crack (tires, dashboards, gaskets, seals, etc). I did a...
Ok - so I've spent some time on GL looking for stuff (boy that site could be better constructed!) - and one big question I've ended up with is: What do I use for a search string?
For example: I have found HMMWV parts listed as; hmmwv, hummer, humvee, hummvee, m998, m1025, m1026, etc. etc. etc...
My alternator gave up the ghost... anyone got one that they want to sell? Used but functioning is all I'm interested in. Doesn't have to be new, pretty, or even pretty new!
Thanks!

I found and bought this on ebay (commanders control panel from an M1A1) - a little green CARC paint and attach it to my radio shelf - voila... official status as a sci-fi nut!
I'm looking for two parts for my M1026 - a set of the brackets that bolt to the rear of the frame for the pioneer tool carrier. They are about 2" square and didn't come with my carrier when i bought it... BUMMER!
I also need the silver bracket that both the PS pump and the alternator bolt to...
Ok - we're almost done with the engine replacement but have a few questions before we really put her through the paces...
On a 6.2L HMMWV:
1. What is the normal operating temperature for the engine?
2. At what temperature should the fan kick in?
3. What is the best way to test the fan...
Well, its been a while since I updated everyone on my 'sploded engine... After killing the newly restored HMMWV back in December I finally tracked down a good 6.2L HMMWV take out about two or three hours away. I offered the guy $200 and he accepted - when we got down there we offered him...
This is the alternator on my HMMWV currently - my mechanic says it is way to big and leaching the horse power. Can anyone tell me what kind of alternator it is and what it might be worth in a trade?
Thanks!
Well, I've really done it now :-(... I just finished the resto on my 1026 and proceeded to blow up the engine. So now I need a new one - it had the 6.2L in it, I can either go back with the same or with one of the new ones.
Anyone got an engine for sale? If no to the engine, anyone got a 60...
What happens when you aren't there to open the paint with your MV painter? Let's just say that not everyone has actually seen military camo before and doesn't recognize the difference between CARC Tan and CARC Brown. Enjoy!
