I had the great honor earlier today of participating in our local July 4th parade to carry Lt. Col. Michael McCuistion, USAF retired, and several other service veterans in the HMMWV. Lt. Col. McCuistion was an F105 Thunderbolt pilot in Vietnam. He earned two Silver Stars and was shot down over...

I tested my new horn with the stock horn using some alligator clips. I wasn't impressed that the stock horn added anything. I did have to remove the front bumper, that took some time, but I am putting in a winch later this week so needed to anyway.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EG18Y8I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Just wired up a simple harness to hook it up. HMMWV stock horn is set up with two Packard connectors. To wire the new horn, disconnected those two and then wired in two identical "Y"s - the base of...

Finally upgraded the road runner horn to something audible.

Lazy Wednesday

Shalom and welcome

Anyone using a flexible hose like a Fume-a-Vent for HMMWV startup? My HMMWV is garaged and when started will make smoke. I can't leave my garage doors open to vent out the garage because of very cold temps in winter. Same issue with working in the garage during the winter, can't leave the...

Definitely need a winch on any off road vehicle, HMMWV or not, for self recovery. Whether it's front or rear mounted, hydraulic or electric, don't matter. Without it you stay stuck.

Those strike me as all the disadvantages of staying in a 16.5" size (v 17) with none of the benefits of beadlocks (like airing down or being bulletproof).

No but I want one!

Turnlock Fastener, 5325-01-191-7555 or 5325-01-255-1126? The rest of the world might call them D ring quarter turn screw fasteners.

I can't seem to find much in the archives to help me on these two question. I am going to be running some high amperage cables from the starter to the front bumper for a Sherpa electric winch installation. First question, the winch connections are currently covered by a layer of that...

They are a pain and expensive to source replacement, but the Sheppard box is superior to the earlier HMMWV alternatives.

More and more reasons to junk the two piece rims and switch to civilian 17 rims, unless you need the bulletproof inserts for some reason.

I see your wildflowers and raise you a snowy mountain pass on Easter with another HMMWV behind me.

That miles/hours discrepancy wouldn't be unusual if the truck had been equipped with a shelter and the engine was kept running for power.

My titles are 6 digits and it was progressive who added 11 zeroes to the VIN - they are fine with that. No issues on my end.

Add zeroes to the VIN. If your serial number is 123456, register it as 12345600000000000. You can also try 00000000000123456. You need 17 digits total.
