    Water cans on fender?

    The troop seats do have those two lengths of U shaped brackets underneath to help distribute the weight. Some of the 4 man A2 and ECV trucks being sold on GP have a reinforcement plate on top the rear fenders, some with MFC/MWC brackets, some with the old style 81mm M821 HE brown aluminum ammo...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    There was an alteration done to some of the SOCOM GMV M1025A2 trucks, the horizontal B Pillar was trimmed then a milled or stamped aluminum piece was welded in place, in order to give the Operator more leg room when using the SOCOM-unique IED resistant seats:

    Split roof?

    Blue Ox (William) makes a 4 man C Pillar Curtain with the center section fitted with zippers, to roll up then tie out of the way for longer loads, pup to pass through etc. Blue Ox Tops | Facebook Might be a simpler solution to cutting on a fiberglass rollup door.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Yes sir that's the H1 style compressor shelf. One of my original GMVs came with it. Another fellow made copies. If the Tuber is willing to sell it at a price that is acceptable, go for it. I think even the aluminum plate copies were a few hundred bucks. Here's most of the air...

    Humvee floor mats

    My first privately owned HMMWV came with a thick black "fall mat" a thick rubber mat used in hospitals, assisted care, etc to help protect patients if they fall out of bed. Example in Black or Light Brown (not a bad complement to Tan686) 36x60x0.5", 8 year warranty: 3' X 5' Bedside Fall...

    I scanned the 57K6230 instructions into PDF but I can't post into the MWO thread in the TM section.

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    BTW: TruckGuy and I are working on getting the label/instruction plates for the military 57K6230 Battery Cutoff Switch Kit replicated if anybody else is trying to make their own kit from the Kissling 35.553 Switch and self scrounged parts instead of paying $400-850 for the packaged AMG kit...

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    The old Ranger Land Rover Defender RSOV Ranger Special Operations Vehicle used a Cole-Hersee M-750 rotary battery disconnect switch that allows you to cut power from either 12v, 24v or both: Cole Hersee Standard Battery Switch [M-750-BP] (delawarepaddlesports.com) Cole Hersee also makes a...

    What is the function of this component inside the TOW missile trucks

    The Special Forces GMV Humvees repurposed the bottom bracket under the flange mount to hold a twin 7.62mm 200rd Ammo Can, for the Navigator's M240 on swing arm mount and cradle:

    Repurpose Duke CIED Antenna to Ham Radio

    Great timing, I scored an AN/VRC-110 power amp (and 110v to 28v power amp) for $200 locally, to use with my TCA PRC-152(U/V) radio. This antenna project of yours is the answer for proper antenna to cover the bandwidth. I want to use it both on a GMV as well as a base station in the house...

    6.5l NA GEP Engine Intake Manifold Hardware

    Have any of you experience removing the Intake Manifold on the 6.5l NA GEP engine block trucks? The studs and bolts I have a chart for what goes where and what needs teflon pipe sealant and what needs Loctite 272. But one of the metric bolts is shorter than the others. I'm worried I...

    Niehoff 100amp 14VDC/28VDC N1505-1 Dual Amp Alternator on M1025A2-Ground Strap?

    Hello, I am no mechanic, only a parts changer that can read the TMs and perform minor tasks. Motorpool Gremlins hit me pretty bad in April, the alternator went, melted the red rubber boot, smoked, and killed the Smart Start Box. While investigating I discovered this truck actually been using...

    Slantback roof insulation, what works best?

    I made templates for the 5 M10XX roof insulation pieces using the remnant insulation left stuck on my roof. I have a foam saw (like a sabre saw with a bread knife blade riding up and down in a U shaped sleeve with just the teeth exposed) to cut the DB Engineering 1" vinyl faced foam.

    Bump, Any updates on SF97 clearance times? I bought one truck end of October, one first week November. The EUC for the November truck cleared before the October truck. Had them picked up by jobbers in first two weeks of March. Still waiting on the SF97s.

    M998 Generator Q: Can a 450 amp be used in a M998 or is 200 amp the only upgrade available?

    My 1986 M1026 I was signed for on active duty had the Warn electric winch and 60amp alternator, never had any problems.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    That is rubber grommet/retainer bracket for the radio power cable pass-through into the transmission hump then into your battery box. There are just the 3 holes (2 small bolt holes, 1 large for the grommet body), you need to reach under the transmission hump with a wrench to hold the nut and...
