    Fuel Treatment

    http://www.dieselbombers.com/alternative-fuels-additives-fluids/60627-using-atf-tank-2.html Looks like some people say its fine, others say it doesn't do anything or could hurt your motor. I plan on running some 2 stroke oil in the tank since it was designed to lube and be burned. Its also...

    What temp should the 6.2 run??

    Dexron III, same as the power steering and transfer case.

    Locking Gas cap HMMWV??

    I think they are more worried about someone trying to put something in the tank than stealing fuel out of it.

    Locking Gas cap HMMWV??

    I would think it does but I'd probably give them a call before dropping that kind of cash, just to make sure.

    Locking Gas cap HMMWV??

    Don't think there is a cap, but they make a locking door for the h1 http://www.rubberduck4x4.com/store/pc/Hummer-H1-H1-Billet-Aluminum-Black-Locking-Fuel-Door-Main-Tank-p8207.htm

    Gear Vendors Overdrive unit

    Unless you find a way to put one between the transfer case and the transmission its not going to work.

    12 volt conversion

    You would have to change your glowplugs to 12v versions and I dont think the controll box would run on 12v either. You would also have to change your gauges and sender units since they are probably calibrated for 24v.

    HMMWV retrieval suggestions

    Tow dolly wont work because these trucks are AWD, unless you pull the rear drive shaft. With flat tow you have to make sure that the transmission wont spin while going down the road even with the transfer case in neutral, the transmission could still spin from parasitic drag. Its suggested that...

    Wheels Types

    8 bolt < 12 bolt without centering hole < 12 bolt with centering hole < 24 bolt with even spaced studs < 24 bolt uneven spaced studs. The o-ring that seals the halves together is also different for the 8 bolt and early 12 bolt wheels, the later 12 bolt and the 24 bolt wheels use the same oring.

    Coolant Overflow Tank Fail!

    The difference here is that the plastic recovery tanks on civilian cars and trucks are not under pressure, it is only there to catch overflow coolant. In the hmmwv/hummer it is part of the cooling loop and under pressure, so when it cracks your whole cooling system looses pressure and all your...

    24V headlights

    Ditch the sealed beams and either go with led's or some nice h4 housings with 24v bulbs.

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    Ah I get it now, the last half shafts I did were rear ones so I forgot about the front haha. I just use a 3ft prybar and lay it between the spindle studs with the end resting on the ground. Basically the same thing yours does but no need to fabricate something special, I'm lazy :)

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    Why not just use the parking brake?

    Show me your interior setup

    I don't normally carry passengers so I usually have the rear seats down. With the cargo cover it stays relatively dry inside when its raining. The rubber mats I got from lowes and really help stop stuff from sliding around everywhere.

    Temporarily topless

    I actually really like your first picture, and I'm not really a fan of those style hard tops. I need to hurry up and win the lottery so I can have a set of x door like all the cool kids!

    Tire pressure question

    The airplanes tires would spin twice as fast, but that's about all that would happen.

    Tire pressure question

    Not sure if this is a joke question, but an airplane doesn't rely on its tires to push it along.... So a treadmill would have no effect on the movement of the airplane, otherwise how would they fly in the air?
