    $4k without brackets. Just the Support. No Hardware, No Turret, Nada.

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    I have FINALLY located a turret support. However, the price is so high, that I am forced to ask..... Is the juice worth the squeeze. I have an m1045A2. My favorite HMMWV and I am still giddy like a kid when I see my truck. :) I am aware of the issues with a turret leaking and believe I can...

    Tunnel by emergency brake gets hot to the touch

    Hello All, Just wanted to pose a question to the group. Took the truck out for the first time on an extended ride. About 40 miles one way on the freeway. The tunnel next to the emergency brake base got really warm (including the emergency brake), dare I say hot. Is this normal?

    slant back gas struts

    What is this called and where can I find another? A cock head screw or something to that effect. They are not common it seems.

    slant back gas struts

    Sure would help to have another set of hands. But I'm solo, so I guess I will have to use a rope to tie the roof in a vertical position if I can get it that high in a RELATIVELY safe manner

    Roofs removed from the 11XX Slant Backs(?)

    This is a new development. The roofs were always sold with the m1114s previously. Will a 10xx series roof fit the m1114? Thanks

    Roofs removed from the 11XX Slant Backs(?)

    Hello All, I suppose the roofs being removed from the 11XX Slant Backs is because of some new classification that they are armor and thus must now be demiled? Does anyone have the scoop? At first I thought this was the state of California saying you cant sell an armored vehicle in our state...

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    I like the tires. They're a little wide at 15.5 but I got a great price on them so I couldnt pass it up. Next tire purchase I may get the 13.5 version.

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    My tires are 40x15.5r20. I think its user preference. Some people prefer the spring setup while others prefer discs and puck lift. The ride MAY be better with the spring lift method but I have no idea.

    where to buy parts for humvee winch?

    :LOL::ROFLMAO::LOL::ROFLMAO: I was thinking the Exact same thing.

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    No new springs or spacers. 2 in discs and 2 inch body lift kit. Ride is the same to me. The 40in Mud Grapplers are loud but I can barely hear them over the sound of the Hmmwv enging/tranny.

    Engine oil cooler lines resting on exhaust manifold

    The hoses don't run next to the manifold? Hmm guess I need a pic to see that. Seems my hoses have been that way since receipt. Interesting.
