    Smoke Grenade Launcher

    Did you find the information sought? I have an intact GMV LVOSS harness for 2 launch units, Left and Right. This version has a 2 pin cannon plug that connects to the back of the 24VDC to 12VDC InfiniD Power Inverter/Distribution Box for power, to the Arming/Firing Unit Box, then a split...

    Nice RT524 FOR MY FAV

    Zooming in on this US Army Public Affairs Office pic, I can see an RT-524 and R-442 Receiver on the radio shelf, and possibly the KY-57 T-SEC between, partially blocked by the passenger side A Pillar. This one has the PRC-77 in the AM-2060 power amp, you can see the speaker housing on the power...

    Nice RT524 FOR MY FAV

    Both the VRC-64 PRC-77 AM-2060 Power Amp and the VRC-46 RT-524 use the same MT-1029/VRC power tray mount so the bolt pattern will be the same. Secondary, for units outside CONUS we had the KY-57 VINSON T-SEC encryption device in a mount MT-4626/VRC with vehicular power adapter HYP-57, next...

    Rock Sliders / Rocker Guards.....

    I had custom 0.25" thick steel ones made left undrilled so I could use the existing bolt holes in the Ground Mobility Vehicle GMV rockers. I painted the inside with the beige Flex Seal spray paint to build up a membrane to prevent the electrolysis from dissimilar metals. Outside I primed...

    Nice RT524 FOR MY FAV

    I was active duty in the late 80s into the late 90s, with the older FM radio systems. The FDC track had the VRC-47 system with the RT-524 and the R-442 Aux receiver for monitoring a 2nd radio net. VRC-12 would be the vehicular radio system of the MT-1029/VRC power mount tray and the RT-524...

    Need a sample Humvee VIN number.

    Even if the other vehicle were a Hummer H1, the last six digits would be a different serial number. If one had to submit a 17 digit VIN code to suit their state DMV this is the breakdown of each number/letter placement: Before they went to the 17 digit system in 1981 it was entirely possible...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The tapered trip pins should be 5/32" OD (like AR15 hammer and trigger pin OD), I found 5/32" OD zytel nylon round stock on ebay to replace the pins with a more durable plastic chemistry.

    Unknown Part M1165 A1

    TM 9-2320-387-24P March 2002 Edition Figure 201P Left Wheelhouse Stowage Plate Item #1 Plate, Mounting Part 12518573 NSN 5340-01-473-8573 I've seen a few USMC HMMWV with the plates on both sides, sometimes with the Scepter MFC/MWC brackets on top even a few with the brown aluminum...

    Humvee Seat rails

    These pics compare the difference in width and rivet holes as well as compared with the width of the underside MWO reinforcement plate.

    Humvee Seat rails

    The two # 12343052 I just got today from Black Dog Customs are narrower than the originals removed from my truck, the rivet holes are inward about 3/8" on the opposite side. Drilling the truck hull for the new rivet hole placement will just make the installation weaker, prone to tear out of...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The blue tagged sensor is the only mil-spec sensor, even AMG got stung, wound up with hundreds of Chinesium versions that were claimed to meet spec. There is a discussion about it back in Jan/Feb.

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    My theory: with the camo net and pole bag strapped to the gate, on a truck with A2 (or A1) airlift bumper installed, you can't lower the tail gate without unstrapping the net and poles, first. This bracket looks like you can unfasten the center 2in strap assy and the net/poles or M22o TOW...

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    I believe SOP was to carry the entire ground mount parts for the M220 TOW system in case the HMMWV goes mammaries vertical you can still accomplish the mission. The USMC MG Section Weapons Carriers carried the M3 Tripods for the M2HB .50BMG and Mk19 40mm in the slant's cargo bed even though...

    U Ship... Non runner... all wheels... What category are People using?

    For LTL, I have been using Yellow Freight YRC.com for everything from shipping pallets from GovPlanet to shipping parts I don't need to others, parts that just too big/heavy for me to deal with. You palletize it, go on their website to fill in all the info, select a level of service, pay...

    Type IX Single Component CARC Painting?

    In the worse case scenario I can't find a semi local shop to shoot my HMMWV, I bought 2 gallons of Tan686 Mil-DTL-53039E Type IX Coating Aliphatic PU. I google the Mil-DTL-53039E, all I get is beta beta prime chloro ethyl ether nonsense. I Ass/U/Me Type IX is POLYURETHANE based? And...

    Has anybody tried stowing the AC Condensor under the cargo bed in place of the Pioneer Tool Set?

    Correct M1165A1 CDR Bolts?

    Here's the CDR Bracket and CDR, showing the rubber bushings in the bolt slots and the 5/16" threaded bushing crimped in the bracket. The previous Operator would have had to strip out the bracket then retapped it for larger threads.

    Question re: Half Shaft install

    Because of the range of motion of the twin A Arm suspension, when it hangs down at max extension (without the halfshaft in place to limit the arc of motion) may make the distance between the portal hub and the output flange shorter than the length of the halfshaft. Try raising the portal hub...

    Correct M1165A1 CDR Bolts?

    Don't fit? how? 5/16" are too small diameter to fit the now stripped threads in the bracket? Or are you not reaching the threads in the bracket? The rubber bushings will compress as you tighten the 5/16" bolts, the rubber bushings compress, keep tension on the thin steel CDR mount which is...
