    First hmmwv

    Santa, I'm South of you in Navarre, got two original M1025A2 GMV variants, and waiting on EUC on a 1994 M1097A1 sitting in Albany, GA. I've got the 6.5l HMMWV engine sling and other specialized tools, etc. The Dixie Division Military Vehicles Club out of Alabama is the closest club that has...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The good news is, A0-A1 body and engine harnesses are still fairly cheap, and easier to totally replace than a civilian automobile., if you want to just get rid of your electrical system gremlins the fast way.

    How bright are these LEDs? Bright enough to use in the Blackout marker and Blackout BrakeLight sockets as backup/reverse lights?

    HMMWV CARGO EXTENSION KIT ON 4 MAN HARD TOP

    The vinyl wraps overtop the C Pillar cross tube, with slots cut for the 3 bolt/bushing assemblies, under the tin roof. There was a rubber seal that went between the C Pillar and the tin roof, so a strip of closed cell foam between the vinyl cover and the tin roof would not be out of the...

    custom C-pillar construction, what is the radius of the bends in the corners?

    Slantback and GMV C Pillars are about 11ga 0.12" steel seamless tubing. Be advised there is a difference between a "pipe bender" and "tubing bender" so research first before buying at ChiComFreight.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    This is one of the tail light covers off my M1025A2, which has one all incandescent bulb assy and one hybrid incandescent brake/turn and LED BO Marker/Brake. Now one of these I repaired before had a metal rectangular frame that held the BO marker lens assembly in place, this one has a clear...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I wish one of the parts houses having plastic taillight bucket assemblies made in the Peoples' Republic, would make a set with clear reverse lights in place of the blackout markers. Short of that, using two of the Ambulance style reverse light brackets, you can bolt them through the A2...

    They also hold in moisture even just from the damp air, speed up corrosion.

The doesn't accept doesn't piss me off so much as GP waiting 2 F-ing months to tell me they don't accept hand written...

    Steel rear airlift bumper

    I was told the Aluminum Airlift Bumpers were for the Avenger ADA Trucks on M1097 chassis, they needed to be aluminum to meet weight restrictions or something like that. I'm pretty sure my 1994 M1097A1 truck has the aluminum airlift bumper on it, truck is still waiting on EUC. The truck was in...

    Pickup day Albany, Georgia

    Is there a phone number for the Albany yard or email to forward Bills of Lading forms, etc to the Yard Manager? I have an M1097A1 non runner that I am contracting with a 3rd party to haul for me sometime next month or January.

    Different turrets

    Improved 2nd Generation black Aluminum Bearing, the round A2-M1114 stamped sheet metal Weapons Station, and two piece hatch, that extra piece out to the side is just a support for the hatch when it is opened, folded and locked down for action. That side support takes the place of the cat-ears...
