Got a closer look at the "tabs" today. Both of them look like this. It IS a modern column, like the one on the right, with brackets intact, just the lower end is all buggered. Anyone ever seen one go bad like this? Would BIG washers help prevent it from happening again or just transfer the...

I got a good look at the bottom of the column while trying to remove the - frozen - allen head cap screws. The "slot" is like a fish hook. I suspect this design was changed early on due to breakage, much like the beefed up side brackets. I'd bought a bolt kit after trying to get the shorter...

I looked in classifieds for these. Is this the complete "kit"? nuts, bolts, brackets? I'd really like to get this all in one fell swoop, just do it and move on to other things like insulation, heater motor (dead, hooked up directly to batteries today, zero, zip, nada), get the high back seats...

Which model though? 57K3216? My Humvee was delivered 12/91 but the title says '93, go figure. The column in place has the slots/tabs that break. Just want to make sure before I lay out another $200 for the (updated?) kit. Thanks again.

I took my 3 week old Humvee out today for gas and to get a free lunch at Mission BBQ. Didn't make it. Had replacing batteries (and upgrading alternator to the 200A model sitting in my garage with mounting kit) with Optima D34s (32s? the ones that use the 6TL adapter plates I bought) on my...

Been trying to decide on which "flavor" of Dynamat to buy. Or Kool-mat. Or Noico. Which one did you use and how many square feet (about) have you installed? Did it help? Thanks in advance. Norm

I meant to make a note of that but didn't. The wire seems to be of a very high-quality silicone ignition wire, about 12 gauge. Considering the environment it'll be in I opted for soldering the wire to the connectors with silver-bearing solder. No room for water to get in/corrosion to start...

Thanks, 86humv, I know there IS a difference, mainly I want to know which kit (one, the other or either) will fit a '92 HMMWV. I probably didnt' make that very clear. I can't find those details in the parts TMs. But I'd appreciate any help you could give. I really think I'd rather blow the...

So the steering column on my Humvee M998 1992 (build date 12/1991) is broken. Thought the bolts needed tightening - place I bought it assured me it would be done before I picked it up but money had changed hands and well, I got screwed - little tab on one side is broken and the hex nuts are...

Just wanted to post a personal thanks after doing this today. I did a cut and paste of your photos to my iPhone to reference while I was doing the job, only the last one hung me up. Took me a while to figure out the picture is from UNDERNEATH the truck (says truck on my title). I used some...

Looks good. I took a look at the mirror on Amazon and was wondering if you used the garmin suction mount (kind of hard to tell from your photos which one it is) as several other buyers complained about the suction cup not working. Looks like a fairly cheap "fix". Norm

The "Tarheel" screwdriver antennas look appealing, but I'm not thinking of HF so much as the 2M and 70cm bands and monitoring police/fire/rescue at the lower end, that's where the SFB3512 type antennas appeal to me; same format as the 3900 series, tuned differently. Once I get that ground wire...

That's awesome. Thanks. Do you know if they ship in smaller than gallon sizes? Quarts? NB Poked around a bit and found this: http://www.paintdocs.com/docs/webPDF.jsp?SITEID=STORECAT&lang=E&doctype=PDS&prodno=F93G504

I'm also a ham - extra - considering putting in a 2M rig using a stock military antenna, only problem is, most of them of the AN or AS3900 series were made for the radio frequencies used by military in the 30 to 88mHz range and aren't easily converted to 11M even for CB use. Sure, they'll work...

I looked closely at the bracket -with my reading glasses on- and saw the number"818". That's Amerex, fits the B500 can. I ordered one. Amazing what a little caffeine can do. Thanks for the help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having the same "issue" here. I have a First Alert extinguisher in my garage, 5lb, I think. it doesn't quite fit the military bracket. VERY tight in the clamps. How did the Amerex 5lb work out for you? Thanks in advance. Norm

From the MVA website: How do I register a vehicle as a historic vehicle?To be registered as a historic vehicle (class L), your vehicle must be a passenger vehicle, motorcycle or truck (with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less): be 20 calendar years old or older and must not have been substantially...

Always. And it reminds me of that (paraphrased) line from "Independence Day": "You don't think the miltary really spends $600 for a hammer?" ;-)

Just went through this routine with a new (to me) 1991 M998 HMMWV I bought from surplus military Depot LLC (649 Teton Dr. Lothian MD 20711). Kevin suggested I go through a local - to him, across the street from his lot) title office, but he understood Maryland law to require inspection...
