I ended up not doing anything to it yet.
Nobody around here has a shelter to use with it that I could find for what I would consider a reasonable price, and I've been spending my limited funds on other projects that will actually get used more than once or twice a year.
Glad to hear that it...
Okay, so I have the event created on our local facecrook group, and an event made here in the events section

Copied and pasted from our facebook group.
Time to start planning for the 2024 rally in the PNW
Location is changing this year from Winlock to McCleary, WA.
Dates are changing from the third weekend in July, to the second weekend in July.
I put down event starts on Thursday, but that's mostly...
Unless there is something different about yours than all the others, soft doors work on pretty much every HMMWV
Soft doors are definitely better than no doors, so yes, it's a good idea
Part of your ohm reading may be the wires and meter itself. 2.5 ohms is close enough to the 1.8-2.2 that I would personally not be all that concerned about it, unless I was using a stupid expensive meter that was truly accurate at those levels.
One thing you can do is connect your meter leads...
You will either need to spend a lot of time soundproofing the truck, or buy a decent quality intercom with headsets for everyone.
There is probably a sticker on the dash area or above the windshield stating that hearing protection is required while operating. It's there for a reason.
quick search showed a couple places claiming to have them in stock

Value is very subjective, but could be anywhere from about $1k to twice that. In some markets, it might sell for $3-4k as an overlanding project trailer.. Also depends on what you mean by a "complete" generator trailer.
M116A3 is just a flatbed trailer. If there is anything remaining from the...
Did you use the coil spacers in the front as well? I remember over in the Armada springs thread a few people talked about installing a spacer as well for the proper ride height
Mine leaked, so I went to the local hydraulics shop and bought an industry standard fitting they had on the shelf, rather than the one that would have had to be special ordered for the HMMWV. Had to replace both sides of the fitting, but 3 years later no issues, and if something does happen I...
Before spending lots of money, I'd put a cheap incandescent bulb back into it and see what happens. It staying lit says it's getting power through the system, but not enough load to activate the flasher, or so it seems to me.
edit: when I tried replacing all my bulbs with LED, turn signals...
Serpentine belt runs on the outside of that pulley, not like the V belts that go to the inside, so no disconnect required.
The disconnect is one of those upgrades that came after it was no longer needed. The V belt trucks didn't come with one originally, and you had to unthread the hydraulic...
The regulators can fail over time, causing charging issues that come and go. For a month or so before I replaced mine, it would work, then it wouldn't, and I'd occasionally have to pull over, shut off the truck, and tap on the outside of the regulator with a small chink of metal until it would...
By bulb in the 3 way switch, did you mean in the turn signal unit itself? If so, some of the flasher units won't work properly if all the bulbs are LED and you also put an LED in the turn signal lever assembly. Something to do with not enough load for the flasher unit, or the voltage polarity...
I think I remember hearing one of the experts in the past saying it's a common thing, and not really much you can do about it. I know my brakes had a lot of shudder for a long time, but I either got used to it, or just haven't noticed it much lately.
Aired down on pavement will give softer ride, but at expense of longevity and fuel consumption, and makes it harder to steer at low speeds, since the larger tire contact area increases friction.
As with Tobash, I would never air down tires on pavement in order to soften the ride. My tires are...
Just to be clear though, for everything I linked in the above 2 posts
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CONDITION THESE COME IN, WHETHER THEY HAVE PINS, STRAIN RELIEF, OR EVEN THE INSERT IN THEM.
