    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    I'm running 24 bolt wheels with Bajas (load range E) and runflats, and they have been balanced. They run totally fine at 60MPH (haven't gone any faster than that).

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    3/8, but what about the other dimensions like overall thickness and width?

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    I'm currently waiting on quotes for the glass from 2 local glass shops. In the mean time I will also need the gaskets. I can't find them anywhere, not even at Mac Motors. I found some generic rubber U-channel on McMaster Carr: https://www.mcmaster.com/gaskets/profile~u/rubber-trim-7/ I'm not...

    Or a utility knife to cut through the soft top lol!

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    Thanks everyone! Anyone know where to find window gaskets? All I can find online are windshield gaskets.

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    Yeah, I already confirmed mine are 3/8, but thanks for the heads up

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    Gotcha, I do have two broken windows incoming that I can take measurements off of. Hopefully they dont explode into a million pieces when I take them out of the frames!

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    Thats a great idea, I'll have to try that! Do you have the exact dimensions available?

    HMMWV replacement windows...glass or polycarbonate?

    I need to order a complete set of windows for some X doors I just purchased. It looks like Federal Military parts has a set of 4 "laminated glass" for $289, or a set of 4 "bullet resistant polycarbonate" for $349. I don't beleive that 3/8" polycarbonate will stop ANY bullet, but I'm sure it will...

    6.2L rough start in cold temperatures

    Just putting it out there...there is a big difference between saying: "I think this humvee had the engine replaced, but I'm not sure what year" and "This humvee had a brand new engine and transmission installed in 2006 and the odometer was reset to zero. Thats what this tag means where it...

    6.2L rough start in cold temperatures

    Thanks, can you clarify something? You say "at colder temps they do knock and clatter a little" does that include temps in the 30's? I'm just trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing is normal. BTW, I believe my glow plugs are working because I do see the voltage drop during the period...

    6.2L rough start in cold temperatures

    Thanks, is there a go-to block heater that everyone recommends? EDIT: Looks like I have to remove a freeze plug? Not too excited about doing that. I think I might just try the magnetic oil pan heater first. EDIT again: Looks like a circulating tank heater is another interesting option, anyone...

    6.2L rough start in cold temperatures

    Now that it's starting to get cold (in the 30's), I noticed my 6.2L starts really rough. It starts up almost instantly, but sounds like it's not firing on all cylinders, actually shaking the vehicle for about the first 30 seconds. Eventually it smooths out and otherwise runs fine. I have no...

    Both headlights failing intermittantly

    It's definitely the dimmer switch. It happened again tonight, so I tried tapping the side of the dimmer switch with my foot. I could make the headlights flicker on and off just by wiggling the switch. Mystery solved!

    Both headlights failing intermittantly

    Gotcha. I will probably just replace it and see if the problem goes away.
