    Thanks Steve… It was definitely an option. Rivets have central holes… that leak. I considered rivets but decided this was faster and easier and would easily complete the task during the 1/2 hour silicone workable time. Using rivets means things can shift during drilling, and I don’t have...

    might grind out but more than likely will be covered in two layers of KillMat.

    Back in Cali. Turret hole covers cost $350-400 shipped. 🤦‍♂️ Eric and I just took 4’x4’ 18 ga cold rolled steel, painted it, and locked her down with silicone and self tapping screws. Positioned on roof and taped off. Rounded corners. Painted with self etching primer, (only came in grey)...

    Obviously you have never taken a shower under a turret during rainfall.

    Mounting and balancing the tires

    RWH has posted elsewhere a couple of months ago that in all his years he has never balanced HMMWV tires.

    The Humvee takes off on its own like if someone flipped the "After Burner" switch.

    Diesel runaway is a serious consideration. Did you bypass EGR? Bad EGR? Oil entering intake air will combust like injected Diesel fuel. It is called a “runaway engine”. You best ensure this is not occurring. It will blow up your engine and turning the ignition off will do nothing.

    Armored a Humvee and Shot it with a Cannon

    My $0.02 This belongs in the Mess Hall or Conversations or Munitions I hate seeing senseless wanton destruction of HMMWV’s.

    Flat towing Humvee with 40,000 lb military tow bar

    I swear by this system. No affiliation. Many options. Mechanically activates towed vehicle brakes. https://nsarvproducts.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACuEVQ9Ti_m8gjGiob3wnewdgW3F7&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4Oe4BhCcARIsADQ0cskyn5i-rKMShkcHp4h3SpSwnHqudLxfXS-Il8lo5S1KCx6T9qQf1-YaAq0ZEALw_wcB...

    The answer he is looking for is an at-a-boy saying what he is doing is OK and such. The answer he is looking for is will he be swaying (unsafe). The answers he got is “NOT SAFE”. No matter how a phrases it, his answers were “NOT SAFE”. Look at Patracy. He pulled a unit with just a bar, and...

    The FFS thread…

    New passenger-side axle is in. It is correct with wider flange. The rotors turned out to be correct. Pictures were parallax error of some sort. Long breaker-bar made torquing the 6 rotor side bolts easy. Use of torque wrench only at the end was less painful this way. Driver-side rear axle...

    You received MANY answers that were on-point. All answers pointed to your doing something unsafe. Not the answer you wanted BUT THE ANSWERS YOU NEEDED.

    Quick ? on sway with U haul style trailer

    Sprinter might be too light and dangerous. Trailer should be rated for minimum 7000 lb depending on HMMWV model. Add two thousand for m1151. Truck needs to be rated to pull minimum 11,000 lbs.

    How Hot Is Too Hot?

    To answer OP as phrased: >220 too hot Blurred lines Emily Ratajkowski, Elle Evans, and Jessi M'Bengue, too hot Naomi Campbell in her prime, too hot Carmen Electra in her prime, too hot Get a laser thermometer to confirm engine temps prior to going crazy. Meters are notoriously inaccurate

    It's alive!!!

    I could be wrong but here goes… Looks to me like an SSI solid state. Not a fan. I won’t accept on trade-ins. They can be worked on BUT you need to purchase lots of wires and solder and two solenoids. Essentially only the plugs are salvageable.

    Strange Crank No Start Condition

    Seems like $1000 and up after I called. Broken rod equals too expensive to repair.
