    HMMWV Half Shafts

    Several guys are saying they have taken the half shaft apart and it's "time consuming but not difficult" but no one gives a play by play. I'm trying to break down an extra half shaft to build it up as a spare, inspect, new boots, fresh grease, fresh paint. The inboard side has a retainer ring...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    ChiefB Here is how I hooked my ammo box with USB, voltage and cig lighter spot. In the bottom of ammo box I put a 24-12volt transformer and fuse block, on top of these items I built a false bottom with 2 small "eye" hooks in opposite corners to lift false bottom for access to electronics. On top...

    Drove mine 3+ hours each way to a "Touch a Truck" event that also collected canned food for the "Harry Chapin Food Bank". This was their 3rd annual event (I've been to each one), good showing of support from the community.
