    Proper procedure for cleaning HMMWV windows

    +1 on Meguiars. Works well. Follow the directions. I use it about twice a year. BDGR

    Thank-you for noticing. I wish I could have gotten a lot more done, but yes, little things count too! Bulldogger

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Minor but been meaning to get to it I slit 4 twelve inch lengths of 3/8” diameter tubing and slipped them over the door crossbars so the vinyl windows won’t get as scratched when I tuck them in. Window open weather is coming! Bulldogger

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    It can take some wheeling and dealing today with DMV, it varies by office and region. It's not assured. Some use alternate paths, from second owners. Discussion of ways to get around office policies is not allowed here so I won't elaborate. You should be able to get tags one way or the...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    Basically the same as antique plates; limited travel distance and timing, can't use as a daily driver is the bottom line. It will be another year before it takes effect. There may be some push to adjust the wording, particularly to take some of VASP's inspection authority away and allow safety...

    m998 no lights

    Try unscrewing and unplugging the connector on the back of the lever switch housing if you haven't. Could just be corroded and dirty. Pull her off and give the connections a tickle, maybe low pressure sir to blow out any dust or dirt. Might be as simple as disconnect, tidy, reconnect...

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    The current bill text I read designated a surplus vehicle and anything formerly owned by the DoD and subsequently authorized for sale to civilians, meaning all ex-Mil trucks. Perhaps it started as HMMWV specific. Bulldogger

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    I sent word to MISSION BBQ of Richmond that their fleet of BBQ trucks are about to be decommissioned. They are going to engage, I hope. They understood the implications of the bill when I explained it, I think. Bulldogger

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Slant Back Feedback and Discussion

    That is also on my mind. As noted, I doubt I'd ever get that far. I am nowhere close to having the kind of sales that might get me interested in making another product. But I daydream of it. Bulldogger

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Slant Back Feedback and Discussion

    A few people have expressed interest in something like that. I'm not sure I would ever get to that because it exceeds my capabilities and the equipment I have in my shop. I'll see if this current version gets popular enough to warrant further investment, though I think it's unlikely I would tool...

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Slant Back Feedback and Discussion

    I have tan fabric in stock DCIV, and will be making one soon. I plan to use up fabric on hand (green, tan) to sell to buy more fabric in bulk. Let me know when you're ready. Shipping to TN should be about $45. Bulldogger

    Nattie, the Fittings are smoothed out because of the foam that is put over the tubes. The foam is as thick as the fittings. Bulldogger

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Slant Back Feedback and Discussion

    I might could extend the sides enough to fit over the footmen. It’s not a bad idea. I’ve not seen a mil cover in person or might have tried to do that from the start. Biggest concern is how to secure that setup, as Ancra buckles are very expensive considering one needs 11 of them. I’ve not found...

    Driving Hmmwv in snow

    Best check that fan circuit better then. It definitely should be coming on at temp. The Tech Manual will walk you through it. Could be a lot of things, either the sensors, control or the Cadillac valve itself. Mine stuck on, but careful disassembly and cleaning and it's been fine ever since...
