    What Model Number Antenna Do I Need?

    A few of you may find this interesting, amusing even, possibly depressing. I was thinkingn about buying an antenna for my Hummvee, and the AS-3900 has very limited utility for Ham, is useless for 2M band, 70cm, (I'm a licensed ham, extra) which is what I could possibly find useful. There IS a...

    Tried to buy a Military Red Dot A/C for my HMMWV....

    True that. Guy I bought my humvee from today has 30-some of the units stacked in his garage (BIG garage, under his home, you could fit two deuces in there with room for spare parts), said he HAD 80. Sells them for $2,000.

    Tried to buy a Military Red Dot A/C for my HMMWV....

    Who has the Red Dot units cheaper than eBay? I've seen them as low as $1000 (picked up), a little more palletized and shipped freight.

    So I want to buy a HMMWV.....

    Anyone know off-hand where/how one can buy an insulation "kit"? I'm picking up a '92 HMMWV later today and there's just two pieces of insulation intact - LH/RH tunnel by driver/pax. I've looked around on the web for a "kit" and so far am only finding bits and pieces, piecemeal, some cheaper...

    Someone suggested i post here and ask if there are any HMMWV mechanics close to Nashville who could go take a look at a humvee I'm bidding on, see if it's up to seller's specs. Feel free to contact me via email. Thanks in advance. Norm...

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    I checked into Uship, got six bids (one from a regular HERE), best of 'em was $935 plus $80 for Uship. I'm leaning towards going that route. I'll sleep on it. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    Wow. What an offer. A brake controller? No, up until now I hadn't thought I'd need one. I have time to install one (amazon carries them). I really appreciate the offer. Makes me feel bad all over that I don't live south of the Potomac yet (visit often, friend down in Louisa). The 60 miles...

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    That sounds promising. United Rentals seems to have several options available and drop off sites not far from my home. Their 14-16" twin axle trailer sounds about right: https://catalog.unitedrentals.com/en/equipment/trucks-trailers/trailers, I'll place some calls in the morning,

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    I own a truck, and a small trailer, where do I rent a trailer large enough to haul something like this home? I've got a 2015 Tacoma w/HD towbar (6.5k max towing load) - Uhaul online doesn't recommend their trailer. If I call around and FIND a large enough trailer, will towing a HMMWV void...

    HMMWV roadworthiness?

    Looking into a potential deal on a 1993 Humvee, new run flat tires, 6.5L engine (3 speed), road titled/tagged, only question is, do I fly out to pick it up and drive home (750 miles roughly), earplugs/headset OR, sight unseen, pay for it and have it shipped out (about a grand, I've checked). I...

    Looking to buy a HMMWV, What do i look for?

    Zombie post, beware. Just noodling around the idea of buying a HMMWV. Drove one on several missions a couple decades ago. I'm retired Army, looking at retiring again, a Humvee or an M35 has always been on my "want list" - the wife would be happier with the Hummvee, she doesn't climb very...

    MEP-802 and 803 Main generator tip.

    Checked mine out today, Letterkenney reset fall 2009 (? October, I forget, wrote it down somewhere), the PS mag update/mod came out in May? It's there, just to the left of the A1 rebulator but they used this really weird fuse: Littelfuse Brand KLDR 3 (KLDR-3) 3 Amp (3 A) 600V Midget Time-Delay...

    Adding a 240V 30A outlet to an 802A

    Thanks. Got curious about this and poked around a bit on the web. MSCDIRECT.com has them. Bit pricey, but I've seen them listed for twice as much: http://www.newark.com/hubbell-wiring-devices/hbl2710sw/conn-mains-rcpt-3p4w-30a-125-250v/dp/35B585
