Appreciate it! The shipping on them is probably pretty steep.

Pulled the wheel after work, soaped the valve, the bead on both sides, and bubbles appeared in the hole there, whatever that's called. I tried to re-torque the bolts but it didn't change. I popped the small half off and the o-ring looked OK, but replaced it with my spare (ordered five just in...

I guess I'm not finished yet.... Left rear has a slow leak, lost 10 psi overnight. The valve/valve -stem appear to be OK so maybe the o-ring didn't get seated properly.

Some come with the drain plug, some do not. My M1165 did not. I have an electric vacuum pump to suck the air (out of a 1-gallon glass suction jar) that I use to pull the fluid out.

Very nice! Where'd you find the mounts? I've been looking - I still need one more.

The last wheel finished. The PVC was giving me fits, not wanting to get into position, but in the end I prevailed. The centramatics did an OK at balancing, but I took it to Discount Tire. The tire guy drove it into the bay and all work stopped as the whole workforce gathered around to gawk...

The soft top couldn't possibly hold that much weight.

The new ammo cans arrived.... OK, what's wrong with this picture? I buy a three 40mm ammo can holder and three 40mm ammo cans and it looks like maybe a 4th will fit in there? What am I missing?

Sun! Started around 10am when the sun was on the driveway - the new tires are going on today, and possibly tomorrow. Three of the tires from Yermo are 2007s and one is a 2014. The three old ones have cracks, the right front has a disturbing crack. I think these are original to the vehicle...

If you have two good batteries and don't exceed the starter duty cycle, you won't need the jump packs. If you have two dead batteries you still don't need the jump packs because as someone mentioned above, it's not good to use them on dead batteries. If you have dead or weak batteries you may...

Well, some might say cool looking, others might describe it as a nightmare on 49s, but to each their own I guess. Steven, avert your eyes!

If he paid $2800 I'm guessing it worked out to about $5K total to get it in the driveway. ;) Seems to be a recurring theme - buy a parts truck for parts, then change course and try to bring it back once it's delivered. They seem to be dumping a lot of trucks in this condition which could...

Thanks to some garbage plugs, I've done mine twice now and I've only had the truck since last fall. I did all my left side ones from underneath, hunk of foam on the creeper to give me more reach. The right side was much more difficult, and the three aft ones were through the doghouse hole...

I've only had to deal with a dual battery jump start in my M1009, but connecting one jump box to each battery (minding the POS and NEG) works fine. I doubt the HMMWV is any different, but wait for those with more experience to comment.

Very cool. What radjo is that?

All that lift put you closer to the sun ... :unsure:

Reading through that your D10 did meet the FMVSS at the time of manufacture, which may also be true for a HMMWV manufactured in the mid 80s. That may not be true, and probably isn't, for a HMMWV manufactured in 2007 (or thereabouts). :(

Why did I think you were on the eastern side of the Cascades?

Looks like a marital/family-man escape kit. The old classic - "Honey, Ima run out for a pack of smokes,,," then you head for the hills never to be heard from again. Don't have a clue what that metal thing is.
