    Need 3 or 4 M1101/M1102 trailer cover clips...

    You might try contacting Blue Ox (facebook account) and see where he's getting his. He ships two out on every HMMWV top he makes.

    15 dollars!

    Not all contribution is monetary; and everyone in here is a contributor. ;) I learn from monetary contributors as well as I do from content contributors.

    New HMMWV owner with questions.

    Welcome from Kitsap Co. Is it from San Yermo? I would strongly suggest that you have it shipped from the auction yard to Retired War Horses and let Steven give it the once-over. Yeah, it'll add to the expense up front but it'll save you more money in the future. You don't need to have him...

    He can't; he's on double secret probation.

    LED replacement no flashing

    As sure as I can be. The Marines gave it up with 5500 miles on the clock, so unless they swapped in an unreal light switch, it's gotta be factory.

    LED replacement no flashing

    After changing to all LEDs I have the following: With the switch in STOP LIGHT everything works as normal; turn signals flash as they should. With the switch in SER DRIVE the headlights are on but the turn signals do not flash. I've tried a regular filament bulb and an LED bulb in the turn...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Took the cat off for ... servicing. No major drama but the bent wrench was necessary for at least one of the flange bolts. Spent two hours trying to get the forward heat shield [#11] back on without luck. I should have taken a picture before I removed it and the manual only tells you to...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I wouldn't drink that if it were free; total hypocrites.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The torquing is twice as worse as it is for the 12-bolt wheels. :LOL:

    Brake pedal/switch question

    The word you're looking for is brake, not break. It will matter more in the future when someone is doing a keyword search on the site for the same problem you describe. ;)

    Object on humvee wheel

    Scroll down the HMMWV forum page ever so slightly and there's a whole thread on that very topic.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I threw down a low bid on a non-running MEP-802A genset based on the video of the guy trying to start it. The pictures showed the dead-crank switch in the OFF position, and his vibe seemed to be one of indifference, like, "I'm going to rotate this switch and if it starts I'll be surprised"...

    Object on humvee wheel

    Ahem, it's not on the wheel, it's on the hub. Sorry, mild OCD here... :(

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Did mine a few months ago. Tank was good but the pump was dead. Free tank if anyone needs it.

    The Rise and Fall of the Humvee?

    The (allegedly) full story of the HMMWV.

    The Rise and Fall of the Humvee?

    I see the whole debate as the military being cheap. The HMMWV was never envisioned or designed to be an APC. I don't believe for a second the think-tank that wrote the requirements weren't aware that it was effectively transparent to small arms or IEDs; they knew but rated the risk lower than...

    The Rise and Fall of the Humvee?

    An article from military.com that came out yesterday. Can you find all the errors? Steven, don't read it - mind your blood pressure.... ;)

    Facebook Seller

    I emailed Seco and suggested they put a simple watermark on their photos, as their photos are used in a LOT of scams. They didn't even acknowledge it. :confused:

    HMMWV movie sightings.

    OK, for the people that keep their HMMWVs looking like HMMWVs, how do you hear about the need for one by a movie?

    HMMWV movie sightings.

    The 2023 movie The Covenant featured the lead HMMWV in this scene, and several others appear in the background. How do I know this is NOT one of Steven's? In one scene they pan across the dash and there's one of those keyed ignition switches. Helmet hart top and soft doors:
