A bittersweet passage earlier today. 45 miles across the mountain roads then 70 miles back on the highway for what will be the last off-road trip of the year. Snow is already piling up at the 9,000 foot mark. But beautiful weather today and a really nice trip for a Wednesday.

Yeah I still have a 400 amp in my M1152A1 that's in the picture above, I need to swap that out. @serpico760, you will be the first to know!

Just wanted to say I love my 1152A1 - I find it extremely useful as a longer bed pickup than my 1165A1. I use it to move a lot of stuff including my snowmobile in winter. My only criticism is the front seat is a little cramped for a tall guy like me. I hope you will enjoy your own as much!

I don't think there's been any advancements in oil filter tech since this thread came out a few years ago.

That's weird - my winch is pretty new, only 6 months old. They must have altered. Or it might be because you got the synthetic. (That's definitely more practical, but doesn't look as good as steel cable!) Can you rotate the motor like you can the gearbox? That might solve your fitment issues.

You just need to order the 3 meter snorkels, and a set of scuba gear - problem solved.

Wire brush on paint outside the house, with mask. It's CARC.

Intrigued by "self driving". Was this a Tesla-like feature being tested on a HMMWV?

Just to rehash some of the wiring issues. The supplied wiring on the winch is short as Sherpa assumes most batteries are in the front of the vehicle. If you mount the control box on the back of the winch, as recommended, the supplied wires won't quite make it to the starter which is the...

What makes it a low speed trailer?

That seems pretty ideal, i will have to watch for one.

Looking to tow my MRZR and I want a military trailer for looks/parades. I can't seem to find a trailer that fits that is HMMWV-towable. It seems it will not fit in the M1101/1102 series trailers. MRZR dimensions: I have a civilian trailer and my HMMWV has a 2" hitch and that works fine...

I think it's more an issue that IBIS had some dangerously bad products - like their medium tow bars - and that the owners went to jail for government fraud. Makes me want to avoid anything they touched.

@Guyfang , there's tons and tons of great stuff on that website that I haven't seen elsewhere. Here is a link to the parent directory: https://ia802504.us.archive.org/23/items/0000-00-00-00-us-military-vehicle-manuals-unclassified-and-or-declassified/

The install guide is at this link: https://ia802504.us.archive.org/23/items/0000-00-00-00-us-military-vehicle-manuals-unclassified-and-or-declassified/HMMWV_IBIS_TEK_Front-Protective-Bumper_text.pdf But no I would have zero interest in this, particularly since most IBIS Tek stuff has gotten a...

It is very irritating that Colorado is so difficult about HMMWVs, and yet there are still a number driving around the state.

Must have been that very nice looking 1165A1 with the doors. There was a LOT of bidding interest in that one. Out the door it is over 50K!
