    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Well, I think I killed mine today. Went for a short drive after doing some cosmetic work and when I turned it off I could hear liquid hitting the drive way. From the pics below you can see oil with antifreeze pouring out of the flywheel cover. Same color on the dipstick. Now it won't start...

    I just paid $189 for a 6tl battery with a 30 month warranty at Napa. I looked at the other options but keeping it stock was easier since no modification was necessary.

    I am getting ready to set the top on my slantback. The holes on the metal seal retainer and the windshield lined up except there are three holes on each end of the retainer where the windshield frame does not have any holes. Do I drill these holes into the windshield frame and rivet it in place...

    Interior area of M998 / M1038 for paint or bedliner?

    I followed what Ryan did and used ear plugs to fill all the threaded holes and drain holes including the gi improvised ones. The monstaliner bed liner had a smell for the first three days as it cured, but none after that and my area is alot hotter than Ryan's.

    Interior area of M998 / M1038 for paint or bedliner?

    I also went with Lizard Skin and Monstaliner. The Sound Insulation goes a lot further than the Ceramic. You can get two good coats of the Sound Insulation with 3 gallons or as Ryan said 4 gallons gets you 3 plus coats. Monstaliner will make military colors to match the CARC paint you just have...

    Humvee Radio

    Does anyone have any experience with a PRC 117g? I see the TRI (ie china) version available and a vehicle mount for it. How well does this match up to other components such as a VIC 3?

    Anyone know exactly where the gunners platform is positioned?

    There is an older thread on G503 below that has the detailed measurements and some discusses centering it over a cross member. I have been hesitant installing mine and would like to find the wood piece to use it as a guide, but have not found any...

    New to Me M998

    I look at it as more of an investment. When my soft top fell apart, I started looking at hardtops and slantback kits or doing a GMV. I did not want to sink money into another soft top that would have to be replaced in several years and went with the one time investment of a slantback kit that...

    Need help with TOCNET intercom system

    Looks exactly like a vic 3. You are missing the master control station. Just google VIC 3 master control station and you will see the part you are missing or look at the complete VIC 3 setup for sale on g503 for the parts needed.

    Soft top to Hartdtop Windshield?

    I completely missed that and was over thinking it. Since I am new to Packard connections, which harness is for the Hardtop 12339347-1 or 12339347-2?

    Spray gun tip size for Carc?

    Only thing I found in the instructions was to thin with distilled water. How thin did you make it?

    Spray gun tip size for Carc?

    Did you ever try a larger tip size? I sprayed some hmmwv sponsons today with Sherwin Williams Carc. It definitely needs a larger tip as it's thick even when thinned a little.

    Soft top to Hartdtop Windshield?

    Starting my conversion from a soft top to a slantback and was wondering about the electrical connections for the wiper motor. Are there double male Packard connectors that are used instead of the contact plates on the soft top windshield frame?
