    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    Is there a demand for these panels? (Obviously in addition to the OP need) Looks very easy to replicate and I am looking for things like this to produce.

    Is Powder Coat worth it?

    Both the paint and the powder coating will get chipped by rocks. Only the paint is easy to sand and touch up worn areas.

    Yikes!

    Hagerty covered the repair and the bodywork alone was estimated at over $4k. So I bought a decent ac/dc tig welder and kept the change. After annealing, the panel was fairly easy to unpeel. Some dolly work, welding and more hammering and it will work just fine for me. A little wavy still but a...

    Welcome, love the truck. Looks museum ready. Hope you get around to sharing more about it and showing it off some.

    Hummer Ambulance

    Yes, you are crazy. I think you might find many of us here are. Theres some sort of undiscovered disorder that causes some humans to find any justification to substitute a MV for a perfectly good civilian vehicle that is more comfortable, easier to maintain/find a mechanic to work on, and...

    Common problems and solutions HMMWV

    Thank you, I appreciate your help. After some more digging I am just going to adust it as I initially thought. I am doubting there is a caliper adjustment needed or that can be made. The whole driveline caliper thing had me all turned around. Would still very much like to acquire a physical copy...

    Common problems and solutions HMMWV

    I found a diagram of the correct caliper in TM 9-2320-280-34 dated Jan 1991, so surely theres more information somewhere.

    Common problems and solutions HMMWV

    Thanks for responding. However, here is the exact same directions in the Jan 1990 edition taken from the TM section in our forum. I am not finding a more recent publication here on our site. Could very well be my shortcoming. I prefer to have a physical book in my hand. If theres anyone that...

    Common problems and solutions HMMWV

    And in an effort to provide solutions that will hopefully help someone some day... I am continually amazed at how hard it is for auto parts store workers to find brake pads for these trucks. Napa part# UP-7531-M is what I use.

    Common problems and solutions HMMWV

    It seems like starting a new thread every time a difficulty arises is a moderator's pain. Perhaps I am wrong and maybe noone will use this but here it is nonetheless. The truck is a 1990 M-998. My current dilemma lies with the rear brake calipers. After noticing some leaking from both sides, I...

    Power X Doors - Which are the best?

    Mine came from global parts but I can tell by the inside piece and door handle that these are the same type of doors. They will initially seem great, unfortunately the construction is of such poor quality that they begin to come apart with use.

    These look to be the same Russian made junk that I wasted $5k on.

    Aftermarket hood grills

    A lot of the grills I've seen are just flat plate cut into different designs. Without the ribs that direct air in, it would appear likely that cooling is not going to be better.
