Just a drive in the mountains with my buddies.

You can also get multi-packs of the nozzles in various sizes, at about twice the cost. https://www.amazon.com/Montana-Cans-MXGCAPSET-3-Tryout-Capset/dp/B00HSK2GHK/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=Montana+Cans&qid=1692815956&sr=8-13

Even though I already had the seat off for something else I'm not that motivated to stick my head over the batteries and find out!

I'm pretty sure they were factory. Different trucks, different years, different models - identical military 12 volt plugs. With the same type of connector cover as on the STE-ICE cover.

My 1165 and 1152 have a 12 volt cigarette lighter style plug near the commander's seat.

Good for AM General, not good for us civilian users.

Thanks for your view. That bit on hot for the disconnect is what I would have done too but it seems a number of 4WD sites say negative. I am going to disregard that nonsense as internet stupidity. And I am in the camp of "no" on breaker or fuse. With potentially a 500 A load at peak, I feel...

Continued the winch install. As posted above, the winch plate mounting holes were significantly oversized compared to the corresponding mounting holes on the winch itself. In the photo below, the winch is yellow so you can see clearly the disparity: Got in touch with a machinist on ebay...

Photos?

Sure and I may add one of those too. Much more useful if I stick my own vehicle (vs needing to pull out another vehicle).

Hydraulic would be great but my long search for an ECV front plate failed. I will definitely not be running that winch more than 30-50 seconds at a time with a 10 minute cooldown (as per the manual).

Remove the radiator and go top down, of course! Just kidding, I know that will be with great difficulty. I haven't been able to come up with an acceptable alternative to this mounting position. A rear winch would be better in that situation.

I continued the winch install on truck #2. The winch is a 24 volt 17K Sherpa brand "Steed" model. I opted for wire rope to keep the military look as much as possible even though it's not 100% correct. The ECV-compatible winch plate is Sherpa specific and is from Military Truck Works in...

What the heck are these doors?

I had the great honor earlier today of participating in our local July 4th parade to carry Lt. Col. Michael McCuistion, USAF retired, and several other service veterans in the HMMWV. Lt. Col. McCuistion was an F105 Thunderbolt pilot in Vietnam. He earned two Silver Stars and was shot down over...

I tested my new horn with the stock horn using some alligator clips. I wasn't impressed that the stock horn added anything. I did have to remove the front bumper, that took some time, but I am putting in a winch later this week so needed to anyway.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EG18Y8I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Just wired up a simple harness to hook it up. HMMWV stock horn is set up with two Packard connectors. To wire the new horn, disconnected those two and then wired in two identical "Y"s - the base of...

Finally upgraded the road runner horn to something audible.
