    Antenna hole grommets

    There are different ones. I have seen for one cable and a wider one for multiple. Which are you seeking? They also use a metal flange.

    Pintle extension using A2 Airlift reinforcement plate or not?

    I did so just needed longer bolts from what I remember. I wanted all the metal more for crash protection than towing capacity. Just my .02

    Another stupid question

    many opinions on tire pressure. IMHO, if you are doing interstate/highway driving, i would bring them up to 30-35 psi. Tires are rated for it. No modern tires going on the interstate speeds are inflated so low. Low presuure increases traction but at highway speed they drastically increase the...

    reuse the head bolts on a NHC 250?

    they are not stretch to torque yield like in current automotive applications, old school hardened bolts. Remember these engines were designed I think in the 60's or early 70's?

    M116A3 Jack Leg repair

    One of the ways to distinguish rear legs is the shape of the landing pad. Most I have seen are round. I use the stock mount for the front handle and it is robust. If pin is ok, it won't go anywhere without human intervention. I have 10,000 miles towing mine all over the states.

    M939 Oil Change, Best Oil, Tips and Tricks

    I 2nd that. Fleetguard sells the conversion plate. Change to a modern spin on filter and there are many choices for filter such as extended capacity and life etc. Canister technology is way old school and much better choices now. Not that expensive. Use a baldwin or fleetguard. Baldwin OB-1368...

    Door Kit Companies

    SECO is a surplus military dealer not a manufacturer and they might actually be reselling the Breton. Compare the prices and that should tell you if they are selling older surplus or trying to make a few $ re selling them. The speedy stitcher works great and not hard to use. I have done several...

    MRAP Maxxpro Seats

    I am afraid most folks on here can not help as the Tm's are restricted and not available to the public. Maybe post some pictures as some mrap seats do come out surplus every once in a while?

    Connector to HMMWV 200 amp umbilical !!NOT slave cable plug!!

    I don't believe this is the same connector. It is smaller in diameter. The OP is looking for the one behind the passenger seat coming out of the battery box. It is optional equipment only used on shelter carriers and maybe special purpose set ups for radio, radar and such. Maybe contact ...

    HMMWV Mysteries

    The ones on the tailgate just are grooved and the panel slides down into it. The hood panel had holes and fits over those pegs and gets held in by hairpin fastners. Maybe google combat Id panels. Some pics have been posted on here in the past.
