I don't think there's been any advancements in oil filter tech since this thread came out a few years ago.

That's weird - my winch is pretty new, only 6 months old. They must have altered. Or it might be because you got the synthetic. (That's definitely more practical, but doesn't look as good as steel cable!) Can you rotate the motor like you can the gearbox? That might solve your fitment issues.

You just need to order the 3 meter snorkels, and a set of scuba gear - problem solved.

Wire brush on paint outside the house, with mask. It's CARC.

Intrigued by "self driving". Was this a Tesla-like feature being tested on a HMMWV?

Just to rehash some of the wiring issues. The supplied wiring on the winch is short as Sherpa assumes most batteries are in the front of the vehicle. If you mount the control box on the back of the winch, as recommended, the supplied wires won't quite make it to the starter which is the...

What makes it a low speed trailer?

That seems pretty ideal, i will have to watch for one.

Looking to tow my MRZR and I want a military trailer for looks/parades. I can't seem to find a trailer that fits that is HMMWV-towable. It seems it will not fit in the M1101/1102 series trailers. MRZR dimensions: I have a civilian trailer and my HMMWV has a 2" hitch and that works fine...

I think it's more an issue that IBIS had some dangerously bad products - like their medium tow bars - and that the owners went to jail for government fraud. Makes me want to avoid anything they touched.

@Guyfang , there's tons and tons of great stuff on that website that I haven't seen elsewhere. Here is a link to the parent directory: https://ia802504.us.archive.org/23/items/0000-00-00-00-us-military-vehicle-manuals-unclassified-and-or-declassified/

The install guide is at this link: https://ia802504.us.archive.org/23/items/0000-00-00-00-us-military-vehicle-manuals-unclassified-and-or-declassified/HMMWV_IBIS_TEK_Front-Protective-Bumper_text.pdf But no I would have zero interest in this, particularly since most IBIS Tek stuff has gotten a...

It is very irritating that Colorado is so difficult about HMMWVs, and yet there are still a number driving around the state.

Must have been that very nice looking 1165A1 with the doors. There was a LOT of bidding interest in that one. Out the door it is over 50K!

We will be curious to expand our knowledge base if you try, do let us know.

I'm no engineer but I did sleep in a holiday inn express last night, and cutting away part of the supporting frame for your airlift bumper to fit a winch seems ill-advised.

No it's not, the military version is hydraulic.

Not by too much. It keeps a pretty high front angle of attack.

Finally completed my winch installation, the wiring. The hardest part was deciding where to hook in to tap power. Two obvious choices: under the vehicle on the starter, or back in the battery compartment under the commander's seat. I opted to run the positive lead back to the 24V post on the...
