    What wheels are on your humvee?

    AFAIK Black Rhino makes their "Arsenal" wheel in +12mm, which I believe makes it just about flush. I can't confirm that as I'm part of the sketchy -18 crew, sticking out the sides, begging for my spindle nuts and wheel bearings to fail. EDIT: Disregard - from what I was able to determine...

    New AM General stuff

    I don't disagree, but at least they'll still be making parts for some years to come. Whether or not they sell to the civilian market or fit earlier gen trucks remains to be seen, I suppose.

    New AM General stuff

    Their social media stuff has been abuzz in the last 24 hours, new website drops in about two hours, new videos, etc. Apparently there is going to be another "recap" program, so the well may be drying up for a bit- regarding auction HMMWVs. Anyway, it's interesting stuff, worth a look...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Figured I'd drop this: https://www.disco32.com/ I have a few of their components, good quality stuff, I run their PTT setup for my Peltors to work a Baofeng UV-5/8 comms setup. They might have something worth looking at.

    Bimini Jeep Style Top

    I’d be amazed if anything currently made could be retrofitted. I’d guess it’ll be at least a foot too narrow. I think the idea has legs, though. Probably won’t be too hard to mount to the windshield track, a few loops for the B and C pillars, maybe a strap to the rear of the bed to give some...

    Electrical Gremlins. HMMWV M1097R1.

    Aurora is legit, they’re about ten minutes from me.

    Gauge lights

    I can't speak to the internals/design, but that link above differentiated between the 12v version and 24v version, the packaging also indicated 24v. I have had them in my HMMWV for several years and have not had an issue thus far (1,700+ miles).

    Gauge lights

    I cleaned the clear lenses and added these: EverBrightt 20-Pack DC 24V Red BA9S 5050 5SMD Led Trunk Light Bulbs Car Door Lights Wedge Light https://a.co/d/9BJhY61 As Mogman pointed out, they no longer dim, but the red doesn’t throw off my vision at night. They’re quite bright under NODs, but...

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Little update- Arm finally up to the task of letting me climb on the front wheels, so I could inspect the TPS. It had a bit of corrosion, which I cleaned up, voltage tested good, slapped on some dialectic grease and everything was back to normal. Shifts smoothly, rides great. When I first got...

    Repair or replace rear curtain?

    Interested to see what you come up with!

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    The Trans light comes on when power is turned on, but turns out after a few seconds. No flashing/illumination beyond that, until it's put into the code read mode, then only Code 22. Its shifting through the gears albeit roughly as @NDT pointed out, as if I were driving at full throttle. Thus...

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Code 22 Throttle Position (TP) Sensor circuit low is the only one showing. Thanks for pointing out that the light might not illuminate, didn't consider that.

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Took out the HMMWV for the 4th of July and all systems seemed fine, but it hung 1st gear until much higher in the RPMs (20+ mph 1-2 shift at mild throttle) and was a pretty rough shift when it finally did shift. Seemed to run through the gears, but all seemed late/rough, not stuck in 2nd/Limp...

    Am I getting a good deal?

    I have serial number 183XXX M1123, she took some sorting out when I got her, but I put 2,000 miles on her last year with no hiccups. This era/model may be missing some of the nicer features- rear fender AC, the hard top, turbocharger, winch, etc. but they’re light weight, simple, easy to wrench...
