    Yes. Mine has that same pipe with a little rusty valley runoff now and again.

    Salt and pepper

    Growing up in the seventies, Im partial to the MERDC four color camo pattern. I like how you can change one or two main colors to suit the terrain.

    Salt and pepper

    "salt and pepper" made me think of the old pixelated "Dual-Tex" camo... But the only pics I find of a pixelated HMMWV are from video games like TOBASH's pic I bet a HMMWV would look pretty awesome done in the "Dual Tex" with location appropriate MERDC colors

    Humvee steering wheel

    I'm pretty sure they are the same. My 93 came with the early skinny OD wheel and the newer thick black A2 wheel bolted right on.

    My wiper blade retrofit.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Getting the Transfer case resealed after the RTV gave out on the top of the case. Leak tested the cooling loop. I should probably paint a little silver cross on it before reinstalling to ward off the vampires.

    Where do you draw the line $$$

    I would look into fixing. Im partial to ramsey winches as they never let me down when I used them on junk yard car haulers for years

    what is this junk in the fuel cannister?

    Yuck. You need to drain the tank and see what comes out

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Worked on cleaning up a scroungy looking 1994 A1 that my buddy is finally getting around to selling.

    Part ID

    Are they all the same part number (-1) or are there any (-2)s in the pile? They should also have an "L" or an "R" stamped on one end. I could use an "R" (-2) for mine.

    M998 headlight issues

    There is always a great chance that both lights are toast. So test for voltage there first. That being said, my headlight malfunction experience with the military headlight switch consisted of no headlights unless the "headlight on" lever was held hard over to the stop. If you let go of the...

    Growler

    The growlers are not M151 based at all. And M151s are notorious for not being able to be registered for on road use. They had dangerous handling issues and most were cut up so as to be unusable . As cool as the growler seems to be, As narrow and unstable as they are I doubt they will see much...

    2009 General Dynamics M1161 ITV-LSV 4x4 Growler

    If I could, I would. Those things are badass. If you can get one that works upfront, It would be great if I had my own ranch to run around on. better than some cookie cutter Polaris thing.

    M1078 cargo bed zeppelin fm3 installation

    Neat, but that's a lot of expensive gear on a custom box taking up space. But, it got me thinking of a simpler solution you could fab up with some ingenuity. Im sure I saw this concept somewhere...boat trailer jack maybe...

    HMMWV marking

    My quick search came up with a 189th Airlift wing of the AR Air National Guard. Their website had a pic of a guy doing PMCS on one of "their" HMMWVs. So maybe Air NG. Mine was CA Army NG. The services seem to be purging all the 7700GVW stuff

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Yes. I forgot about it learning shift points. Ill have to run it a little longer. The cab lock I was talking about is the one with the red pin that locks the cab down. Everything needs to be lubed next.

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    Got it moving and took it for a short drive. Got it to shift as high as 6th gear. The initial shift from 2 to 3 takes too long, but the rest seem to shift normal. Headlight switch is bad but lights work otherwise. Air/hydraulic system raises the cab, cab lock works, air bags work. About all...

    1998 M1078 A0 Wiring nightmare?

    I pulled the two ground terminals off to let it sit till I go back. I plan on going through the battery harness and cleaning all the stacked terminals. They are just setting in there for diagnostic purposes till we confirm mobility with a few laps around the compound. After that we will get the...
