    Modify and build my m998

    I'm aware of that milled aluminum barstock AMG Part#06001702 B Pillar side impact reinforcement. Some of the 180 GMVs (Ground Mobility Vehicles-SOCOM Gun Trucks) sold out of Letterkenny Army Depot had their B Pillar side impact bars altered similar to your MWO drawing. They were trimmed back...

    Won M1152. Evaluations please.

    Welcome to the club. Start looking through the TMs especially the -9-2320-387-24P Maintenance Parts Manual. Free downloads on this site: (26) Present Conflict Vehicles TMs | SteelSoldiers I keep both hard copy and PDF for each Echelon, I work faster with the hardcopy manuals, but it is...

    Lightweight Weapons Station Base Plate Dims?

    I don't have the TM, just the TB for install on HMMWV. Was hoping somebody has the dimensions for the squarish main plate the turret bearing and weapons station bolts onto for somebody local to build their own LWS style mount for M35A2

    Lightweight Weapons Station Base Plate Dims?

    I've seen a couple M9XX LWS build threads but I haven't seen the dims for the main base plate for the turret/bearing, the square with cut corner plate, looks like 3/8" thick or so. Would somebody happen to know the dims from an actual install or from making your own base plate?

    Battery Disconnect Quick Question

    I have the installation instructions for the AM General 57K6230 Battery Disconnect Accessory Kit but the file is too large to post as attached file. The kit comes with a marine inline fuse (Blue Sea Systems Inline ATO/ATC Fuse Holder + 15amp bladed fuse) for the 12v 4L80E wire. Besides the...

    Soldiers and Marines paying to pimp their HMMWVs

    I remember during the Clinton years, we didn't have training funds for M200 Blank 5.56mm. We had MILES equipment, afterall, that was reusable, durable equipment. But we had no blanks to make the MILES lasers function. Joes in Rifle Squads were running around like kids playing cowboys and...

    Drilling through rear airlift bumper to mount license plate?

    For me, considering the price and shipping expenses for the A2 Airlift Bumpers these days, when possible, I prefer not to alter the original part, or alter the cheapest part first. Those A2 seem to be galvanized then painted or less likely, powder coated. Sometimes welding galvanization can...

    Drilling through rear airlift bumper to mount license plate?

    I just drilled an extra hole in my license plate, attached the plate to the two inner bolts of the mud flap bracket. Drill the cheapest part first.

    Hmmwv springs

    The M11XX armored trucks use thicker body spacers, too. So combine the thicker body spacers with stiffer coil springs with the additional armor weight eliminated. My M1025A2 GMV sits higher in the front than M998 A0 and A1 trucks, too.

    power cable for VIC-3

    Resurrection: RE: VIC-3 LITE, the LITE box has a 2 pin connector at the top, right side to power the intercom. Anybody know the correct CX part number for this 2 pin to 4 pin A4J2 outlet on the MT-6352/VRC? Right now, I have a 4 pin power plug to the VIC-3 LITE Box Radio A 6 pin outlet...

    Trouble Re-Installing Front Right Half Shaft After CV Boot

    10 pumps on the floor jack increased the space between the portal hub and the brake rotor by about 3/4" 2cm 20mm. That created enough space for it to slip right in. Then I got 3 bolts started to square it up, fought getting the 2nd on each 3rd in, discovered the rotor moves independent...

    Trouble Re-Installing Front Right Half Shaft After CV Boot

    Portal hub is hanging by the A Arms right now, as it was when I removed the halfshaft. I'll try raising it with floor jack tomorrow to see if it helps. I suppose the portal hubs move on an arc, pivoting on the A Arms, there would be a sweet spot that is maximum outward swing. Reminds me...

    M988 upgrade to M1045A2? Is it worth it?

    Turrets, turrets, turrets. A0 thru early A2 had the stamped sheetmetal "cat-eared" turret Weapons Station, then sometime around the same time the underbody Pioneer Tool Tray was replaced with the MaxxTool, 2002? they switched to the fully round stamped turret Weapons Station, perhaps as a...

    Trouble Re-Installing Front Right Half Shaft After CV Boot

    OK, went through the process to replace the portal hub side CV Boot on the right, front Halfshaft of 1994 M1097A1. I quadruple checked the components before stretching the boot over the cup and spindle ends, bearing cage taper side towards the hub. I crimped the CV Boot Bands, went to...
