I only drove a HMMWV once while I was active duty, not unusual since I was aircrew. The one time I did drive one, I got a ticket for driving too fast, not having the license, and not checking the tires before entering a taxiway. Me and another guy were doing some side work as OPFOR and he...

In the meantime, throw a pair of vice-grips under the seat. If you're out and about and the truck fails to shut off at all, pinch the feed line to the IP. Also, "inside the IP" isn't as daunting as it sounds because the shutoff solenoid has it's own little compartment. Mine has security torx...

Looks like one of these

I have a slightly different problem - I need to mount the 450 watt aircraft landing lights from my M1009 on the M1165. I just can't think of a good spot for them.

Having a NOS kit means I have all the parts, and I had no idea there were as many small parts. Most of the ones I see for sale used are missing most or all the small parts. The "instructions" are a little vague, so I decided to write a quick tutorial. PARTS: Base Offset part and cover Side...

Do I need to replace any gaskets when I re-install the cover? I have the AC stuff loose, wood cover removed, and cover cleaned and ready to come off.

Owensexports NOS antenna bracket arrived today. Installation was somewhat of a puzzle but I figured it out.

Had to troubleshoot the motorcycle mostly but once that was done I installed the springs for the soft-door handles. I was wondering why the two doors popped open the last time I drove it around, then noticed there were no springs.

As a retired Flight Engineer, I appreciate the aircraft seat track. I still have four 8-foot strips in the garage. EDIT to add: I also have a handful of tie-down fittings for the track, which made me notice the way you're using it isn't going to work, not as seat-track anyway.

If I'm driving around at night, I'd rather the side marker be lit than it blink during a turn. At night the vehicle is a black hole - difficult to see if another driver wants to change lanes and looks quickly over their shoulder (which is significantly more than most drivers do). Both would...

The pubs for mine said DexVI, so it got Dex VI.

Those posts on the left and right seem redundant, just knock them out.

HMMWVs got a lot of airplay in the movie, but I guess there were some M1010s, M1008s, and M1009s there too. I found this video and at the end of the video they show some photos of the stadium used by the Pakistanis.

Well there's no sport in that. :oops:

The ONLY difference between the M1101 and the M1102 are the numbers on the dataplate. Otherwise everything was the same. It was done that way to prevent a soldier from connecting a heavily loaded trailer to a vehicle not rated for the weight. In other words, puny Vehicle X can only pull an...

Some years back I had a mid 80s Ford Courier truck as my daily driver. I bought it from my neighbor. The steering had a peculiarity in that after the turn the steering system didn't center itself, so if you let go of the steering wheel the truck would keep turning. I couldn't figure out what...

Talk to Steven at RWH - he might have one if anyone does.

The postal delivery person dropped something heavy on the stoop- should be the grab handles! You know, since porch pirate thieves are so common you'd think the delivery people would make at least a small effort to make the package less visible, but they leave it on the very edge of the step...
