    HMMWV's

    What a change. I got a my M1165A1 in February for $26k and it was in prime shape other than the tires. Perfect interior, all pieces there, doors on the side, everything worked. And the price difference for a REV truck is well worth the extra $$$. I haven't seen anything like that at...

    Help with a couple auction pics - name that part...

    In all seriousness (I wasn't really bidding on any trucks now) I would hold off until some nicer trucks emerge. The ones on auction have been quite rough compared to six months ago.

    Help with a couple auction pics - name that part...

    Don't bid on that truck! You don't want it! It's not the one you are looking for! (or you'll be bidding against me!)

    Need help with Packard connectors

    A proper ratcheting-style crimping tool is a must for making the Packard connectors work right. Also don't forget to use dielectric grease to lightly lubricate the *outside* of the male connector or you won't be able to separate them after a few years. Just don't get the grease on the...

    Black Dog Customs is only 150 or so miles away.

    MSD-ICE Kit Diagnostics

    I do have the software, and I legitimately paid for it.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I would have bought in a heartbeat but it's the wrong part for me.

    People may sell them, but that's theft. These are copyrighted materials.

    So is the M1161 a complete orphan vehicle that I should avoid?

    So an update from my end. I never did post the thread at growlerforum. That's because I test drove the M1161 and although it was fun I didn't see it being a suitable off road vehicle for mountain usage. In addition, given the weight, it would be impossible to tow out of the backcountry. I...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Still dealing with my defective heater core in the M1165A1. I rigged up a bypass hose today between the supply and drain lines and capped the heater core side hoses. Drove 20 miles or so and engine temp stayed rock steady in the low green and no fluid leaking anywhere. Looks like I'm back...

    During my brief career as a high school graffiti artist I learmed that rubber gloves are needed when using spraypaint to avoid telltale finger discoloration. ;)

    Taliban has more up-armor HMMWV’s than American citizens now!

    I have been quite upset thinking about all the spare parts those Talis now have.

    So is the M1161 a complete orphan vehicle that I should avoid?

    One seems to have about fallen into my lap, an M1161 for sale locally. It seems to be in OK shape, I have to verify the year and give it of course a thorough inspection. The seller is asking a lot, comparatively, as he wants to make back his auction cost and something on top of that. Is it a...

    The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    Technically not a "recall", but yes, it's a recall: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/goodyear-mt-r-tires-safety-message.178785/#

    The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

    All HMMWV tires should be replaced on purchase, given the recall on the MTRs discussed in other threads. That's not surprising. The other issues? Par for the course, especially govplanet covering up a damaged windscreen with a sticker.

    I think they only come as a unit. Maybe I'm wrong?
