    Nice RT524 FOR MY FAV

    I was active duty in the late 80s into the late 90s, with the older FM radio systems. The FDC track had the VRC-47 system with the RT-524 and the R-442 Aux receiver for monitoring a 2nd radio net. VRC-12 would be the vehicular radio system of the MT-1029/VRC power mount tray and the RT-524...

    Need a sample Humvee VIN number.

    Even if the other vehicle were a Hummer H1, the last six digits would be a different serial number. If one had to submit a 17 digit VIN code to suit their state DMV this is the breakdown of each number/letter placement: Before they went to the 17 digit system in 1981 it was entirely possible...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The tapered trip pins should be 5/32" OD (like AR15 hammer and trigger pin OD), I found 5/32" OD zytel nylon round stock on ebay to replace the pins with a more durable plastic chemistry.

    Unknown Part M1165 A1

    TM 9-2320-387-24P March 2002 Edition Figure 201P Left Wheelhouse Stowage Plate Item #1 Plate, Mounting Part 12518573 NSN 5340-01-473-8573 I've seen a few USMC HMMWV with the plates on both sides, sometimes with the Scepter MFC/MWC brackets on top even a few with the brown aluminum...

    Humvee Seat rails

    These pics compare the difference in width and rivet holes as well as compared with the width of the underside MWO reinforcement plate.

    Humvee Seat rails

    The two # 12343052 I just got today from Black Dog Customs are narrower than the originals removed from my truck, the rivet holes are inward about 3/8" on the opposite side. Drilling the truck hull for the new rivet hole placement will just make the installation weaker, prone to tear out of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The blue tagged sensor is the only mil-spec sensor, even AMG got stung, wound up with hundreds of Chinesium versions that were claimed to meet spec. There is a discussion about it back in Jan/Feb.

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    My theory: with the camo net and pole bag strapped to the gate, on a truck with A2 (or A1) airlift bumper installed, you can't lower the tail gate without unstrapping the net and poles, first. This bracket looks like you can unfasten the center 2in strap assy and the net/poles or M22o TOW...

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    I believe SOP was to carry the entire ground mount parts for the M220 TOW system in case the HMMWV goes mammaries vertical you can still accomplish the mission. The USMC MG Section Weapons Carriers carried the M3 Tripods for the M2HB .50BMG and Mk19 40mm in the slant's cargo bed even though...

    U Ship... Non runner... all wheels... What category are People using?

    For LTL, I have been using Yellow Freight YRC.com for everything from shipping pallets from GovPlanet to shipping parts I don't need to others, parts that just too big/heavy for me to deal with. You palletize it, go on their website to fill in all the info, select a level of service, pay...

    Type IX Single Component CARC Painting?

    In the worse case scenario I can't find a semi local shop to shoot my HMMWV, I bought 2 gallons of Tan686 Mil-DTL-53039E Type IX Coating Aliphatic PU. I google the Mil-DTL-53039E, all I get is beta beta prime chloro ethyl ether nonsense. I Ass/U/Me Type IX is POLYURETHANE based? And...

    Has anybody tried stowing the AC Condensor under the cargo bed in place of the Pioneer Tool Set?

    Correct M1165A1 CDR Bolts?

    Here's the CDR Bracket and CDR, showing the rubber bushings in the bolt slots and the 5/16" threaded bushing crimped in the bracket. The previous Operator would have had to strip out the bracket then retapped it for larger threads.

    Question re: Half Shaft install

    Because of the range of motion of the twin A Arm suspension, when it hangs down at max extension (without the halfshaft in place to limit the arc of motion) may make the distance between the portal hub and the output flange shorter than the length of the halfshaft. Try raising the portal hub...

    Correct M1165A1 CDR Bolts?

    Don't fit? how? 5/16" are too small diameter to fit the now stripped threads in the bracket? Or are you not reaching the threads in the bracket? The rubber bushings will compress as you tighten the 5/16" bolts, the rubber bushings compress, keep tension on the thin steel CDR mount which is...

    Water cans on fender?

    The troop seats do have those two lengths of U shaped brackets underneath to help distribute the weight. Some of the 4 man A2 and ECV trucks being sold on GP have a reinforcement plate on top the rear fenders, some with MFC/MWC brackets, some with the old style 81mm M821 HE brown aluminum ammo...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    There was an alteration done to some of the SOCOM GMV M1025A2 trucks, the horizontal B Pillar was trimmed then a milled or stamped aluminum piece was welded in place, in order to give the Operator more leg room when using the SOCOM-unique IED resistant seats:

    Split roof?

    Blue Ox (William) makes a 4 man C Pillar Curtain with the center section fitted with zippers, to roll up then tie out of the way for longer loads, pup to pass through etc. Blue Ox Tops | Facebook Might be a simpler solution to cutting on a fiberglass rollup door.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Yes sir that's the H1 style compressor shelf. One of my original GMVs came with it. Another fellow made copies. If the Tuber is willing to sell it at a price that is acceptable, go for it. I think even the aluminum plate copies were a few hundred bucks. Here's most of the air...
