You can adjust the "clocking" by losening the knurled sleeve. New cables are usually pretty tight but they do move enough to rotate the cable. It doesn't adjust a lot but usually enough to move things out of the way.
Are you tying the power in from the rear port? Or is that a future thing. I have done similar using an old broken/gutted housing I found on ebay, but finding the mating plug for the rear of the radio has been fruitless. Found one a long time ago. Like what you are doing. If you plan to...
Those are the holes for a mounting plate. Normally it's for a RF-382 Series Fast Tune Automatic 500-Watt Antenna Coupler. The hole is where the antenna lead went through to the antenna base. But a few other radio components fit on the same plate.
Juan has one mounted on his...
The "winch" ability was just a function you could do with it and not the primary reason. That is where you attached a clevis for air lifting/tie down the vehicle prior to the development of the rear airlift bumper or if it didn't have the airlift bumper upgrade.
For maintaining a look close to OE, those look really good. I've been looking for quite a while for something that looked close like that. Didn't occur to me to just add bolts to replicate the look. Glad you posed this. How did you mount the bolts into the holes of the wheel, I'm assuming...
Mine has always done the same in cold weather. What I do to mitigate it, is run a block heater during cold temps (near freezing) and if things get below freezing and stay there day and night I add a magnetic oil heater to the outside bottom of the oil pan that I remove before starting. it...
I tie flags to 4ft cammo net or antenna masts and slip them over the lower antenna sections, also mount them in the UPA on the weapons tray and on the DWF stack. They all just slip on and off easy so I can keep the flags rolled up on the mast sections, unroll them at the parade start and slide...
Took me two years to gather all the parts and acquired the final bits about three years ago. It was hard even then. My main sources were 86humv and beltfed34 (they advertise both here and G503). I also used ePay and some of the other sellers on the internet selling HMMWV parts. Just have to...
I have the same problem. I couldn't find anything obviously wrong. I actually replaced all the universal joints in the rear driveline (the originals appeared fine but still replaced them), checked the torque on the half shafts and replaced all bolts and washers. I had rebuilt the geared hubs...
I installed a block heater and use a magnetic heater on the oil pan in the winter here once temps stay below freezing. Makes a big difference in starting and doesn't sound like it is shaking itself to pieces while warming up.
