The spring seems fairly strong, but maybe these new blades are stiffer and it could use a bit more pressure. I will give the arms a little bend and see if it helps. Mike

Everything seems tight and moves correctly, the wiper blades are just not making good contact in the center. Exactly how loose or tight are the screws that hold the blades supposed to be? Mike

I quickly drew this up for you, it should work to keep the 12v circuit from backfeeding. Ignore part numbers, I just grabbed random parts for the schematic. Basically use a heavy duty relay/solenoid switched with a 12v master ON switch. If the disconnect on the ground is flipped off without...

Any tricks to getting the wiper blades to work well? I just replaced mine and on both sides the center of the blade isn't making good contact. I really loosened them up so they are extra floppy for now and it helped a bit, but this can't be as good as they get. Thanks Mike

Is the Ibis Tek light bar the only thing that ever had a mount for the HMMWV? I'm really looking for a reason to mount one of the Ibis Tek remote control spotlights to my truck, and a Humvee specific mount would be a good enough reason lol. The spare brackets from these lights will be a welcome...

I just bought a set of Truck Lite led floods and was wondering if anyone knew what the brackets were specifically for. I'm still figuring out where I'm going to mount them and probably won't be using the brackets, but I'm just a little curious. Thanks, Mike

The later models with the 4 speed and park operate the same as any other truck with shifting the transfer case, it's just the lack of a parking pawl on this 3 speed that's the issue. Nothing else has caused me confusion so far. Mike

Hmm, just went out and had a look. I never realized how much rotation was carried through an automatic in neutral. Now I definitely need to convert over to a trans with park, I don't want to deal with turning off the engine just to shift the transfer case. Mike

Thanks, and I'm definitely going to read through... But we all know proper procedure might not be the only procedure :-) I'm only wondering because I had a 77 k5 with a part time conversion, and during the winter I would keep the hubs locked and switch into 4wd as I was coming up to hills or...

I figure I'd ask before any reasonable amount of snow comes, can our transfer case be switched into lock while moving? Thanks Mike

Speaking of the Ibis tek light bar, I can only seem to find the short 45" version. Any ideas who has the longer ones? Mike

I feel like I just want to keep it as close to original as possible, while still adding a few things that I want. I have no plans on getting rid of the truck, but in the future if I do and the new owner wants it all original then I'm sure he will appreciate the extra care I took mounting things...

Hence my question as to what others have done to mount things without drilling more holes. If I can get away with mounting things in a way that I can remove them later without leaving holes everywhere then that's what I will do. Mike

Maybe that's why I have a problem with it. I have modified many other vehicles, but this one has been god knows where during god knows what and it is in great shape, but now I'M going to be the one to shoot it full of holes?? It's like a vet coming back without injury and popping him in the foot...

Does anyone else have the same mental issue as me when it comes to drilling holes in their truck? If this was someone else's project truck before I got it and there were holes everywhere it wouldn't bother me, but this one is in nice shape and I can't bring myself to do it. What ways have you...

Hey guys, just an update on this since I'm the one that bought the truck. I brought it to the trans shop and it turned out the kick down solenoid broke apart. The guy said he's been doing this a long time and had never seen that happen. All is well except now I want to do an overdrive conversion...
