I'm not sure, but my m1151 was FULL of old wires from removed equipment. I've been slowly removing it all over time. Generally the wires that are used for the actual truck are black. If you find a colored wire thats disconnected at both ends I would rip it out, but thats just me.

I've never seen a truck with hard doors go for under 20K. Add fees, tax, and shipping, and you are pushing 30.

I was gonna say, humvee parts are cheap! But then I releazed that not everyone works a half mile down the street from Mac Motors...

Don't forget the runflat if you choose to keep them installed. Swapping them from one tire to another seems to be a chore. Also, I would NOT expect the balance to just be okay. Every balanced military wheel I've seen has a HUGE amount of weights on it.

That wasn't my experience. I called around to several commercial truck tire places, they wont touch it. It's an issue with both the split rims and the runflats.

Whatever you do, dont look at the giant coolant thread here. You'll come out with more questions than answers 🤣 The TM says green ethylene glycol, so thats what I used.

Vehicle fatalies have actually been on a steady decline since the 80's: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year#/media/File%3AUS_traffic_deaths_per_VMT%2C_VMT%2C_per_capita%2C_and_total_annual_deaths.png

I don't disagree with any of this. But also consider that the humvee does not have air bags. So in the event it DOES rollever, even if less likely, its not going to be a fun time for the occupants. Additionally, humvees don't have stability control and most don't have antilock brakes. So when...

I seem to have ruffled some feathers, I am not an expert but I have observed some things that indicate that humvees have a high rollover risk. The first thing is this sticker which is on every humvee I've seen: Also a quick google search will show a lot of rolled over humvees: The...

Under "status" it says "undefined." Under "sent to DLA" it is blank. I'm assuming there is supposed to be a date there, but there is nothing. Mine is also a USMC truck.

My SF97 request form was submitted on 7/19/22 and I'm still waiting. When I log into my govplanet account and check the status, it just says "undefined." There is a section that says "sent to DLA" which is blank. Is this normal?

If you accept the risk then go for it, but your vehicle will be less safe especially when cornering at speed.

Yep, its amps that burn things up not watts. This is why circuit breakers are rated in amps. Wire is also rated for amps based on what guage it is. It's pretty common for wire to be rated for 600 volts, and its the same amperage rating whether its carrying 1 volt or 600 volts. In fact this is...

I would not remove the sway bar from a vehicle that has a tendency to roll over.

For what its worth, he got me full coverage with a $30k replacement value for about $550 a year.

I just got a cat scan, and unfortunately for you all, I'm going to live 😂 I did have to get 6 staples in my head though. 🤕

Currently in the ER. Was working underneath the open rear hatch of my m1151. Its a very heavy door, I dont know, 200 pounds? Unfortunately my truck only came with one gas strut not 2, and apparently the door is too heavy for one strut to hold it up. Long story short, one of the studs on the...

I just went through all this trying to insure my 2007. Got turned down by JC Taylor and Hagerty, and hit a dead end with State Farm. I finally called a guy named Devin Ransom who has his own insurance agency and specializes in humvees (he owns one himself). Devin was super helpful and got me a...

Was it in park, or drive?

Excuse my ignorance, but this seems like a lot of work to eliminate one battery. There are plenty of ways to run 12v accessories on the 24v system, I'm not really seeing the appeal of this conversion?
