If one doesn't understand why the truck is so wide, all they have to do is replace a starter or a transfercase, then they'll wish the HMMWV was 6" wider.

Well, I would've been a great source until about a month ago when I sold my spare. Now, I'd just post up a wanted ad in the classified. Plenty of people have transfer cases, just need to let them know you're in need of one. Failing anything reasonably close/shippable, you can try for...

I wish I had your nearly-free source of troop seats. I'd like to get my 2-man upgraded to that newer style of troop seat, as I actually plan to use mine as-built. I like your idea here, but it still just doesn't look quite right. I don't think the flat boards look very good when slanted like...

I like the shore power plug location. I've been looking around for a good place to drop in an auto-eject plug, as I want it to power a battery maintainer and a block heater for cold months. Rear door panel would be perfect if I didn't already have one of the hinged panels there that would...

There's instructions included in the official kit, 57K3529. I'm very surprised nobody has scanned and posted this. Unfortunately, I never got it either, because I had purchased a used take-off plate and had the other hardware already in my garage. I used this information from Hummer Knowledge...

Finally! New fuel gauge came in yesterday and I installed it while waiting for a friend to show up so I could help him with his car. It immediately read a reasonable value for the fuel level, and a quick repeat of some of the troubleshooting tests showed behavior in-line with a good gauge. I...

I wear the 3-point safety belts in my HMMWV at all times when that vehicle is in motion. I do the same when in anyone else's MV. My exception has been when riding in the back during slow, parade-like rides (actual parades, moving a group of people through a campground ~10 MPH speeds, etc) and...

+1 on the fuel gelling. The emergency technique of building a small fire under your fuel tank to just allow the heat to liquify just some of the fuel is normally very risky... It's way riskier with the HMMWV's plastic tank. Now...a portable oil pan heating pad or portable personal heater would...

I think you might have missed a bit of text out of what I wrote. In following the testing procedures for the gauge, my gauge never was able to display the full range of movement. It basically goes from the bottom of the glass, way below E, to a hypothetical maximum of around 2/3-3/4 Full. That's...

Seemed like a fast test, so I did that. Opposite polarity flatlines the gauge, so it's not that. I'm starting the wire jiggles, so we'll see if it's a poor connection somewhere causing extra resistance/partial ground short... This is going to be real special if both my fuel sender AND gauge...

Fuel tank is back in the HMMWV! No leaks, and it runs just fine, as I was apparently lucky enough to not need to bleed the system. However, nothing is ever entirely free of issue... The new style fuel sender isn't reading correctly. The tank is physically about 2/3 full, but the gauge only...

My little Handee Clamp was the perfect tool. I used it with a piece of tape to hold the washer loosely to the nut. Gives you plenty of grip to start the bolt onto the nut from within the channel. Can slip a small wrench in there after to actually tighten it down without worry of dropping any of...

Well, say it ain't so. I did quite a simple search and came across a guide that explains a good way to do this. I might just re-explore this option, as I have plenty of hardware around and can definitely afford a couple rivnuts. This guide seems to address the problem of the rivnut spinning...

That's a neat idea... I've got another idea to try first without modifications. Failing that, a plug will make a fine change. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

They're 1/2-13. That's one of the largest sizes of rivnut made and requires a $200+ tool for that one. I was looking into those before I installed these, because I'd love to not require two people to replace one of these in the future... Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Got busy with the fuel system again. Finished up with replacing the gaskets and hoses and now have the tank ready to raise into place. I also cut the panel out of the floor for the fuel access and got it all setup. Then after my wife got back home, I enlisted her help to get my missing cargo...

I have that newer style jack in mine, in a fitted bag with tools, sitting on the floor in front of the driver-side rear seat. Since mine's a two-door with cargo access panels on the side, this works very well for me. But I totally see the trouble you'd have with a 4-door, seeing as how you...

I absolutely love our mentality on this one... The manufacturer of the VIC-3 system has all kinds of specialty boxes to be able to do exactly what this system does (provide a remote box), but our mindset is to instead use just another standards FFCS station with a custom cable and a custom...

Easy, it sure is not. I did do it once-trying to resolve a fuel leak-before the pump revealed it had worse problems and needed fully rebuilt. You have to modify an offset wrench to be exceedingly thin in order to fit between the pump and valley to get the servo advance cover off. I bought...

When you say pintle extension, are you meaning the bracket that extends the pintle farther back off of the bumper? If that's the case, it's an item intended to be used with oversized shelters, such as the ambulance body or some radio shelters that overhang the back. If you find it in the 24p TM...
