    HMMWV Headlight Issue

    Get yourself a set of Trucklite 07496 lights and don't look back. The upfront cost is a little higher but these are the bets headlights (mil-spec too). https://www.macmotors.com/Product/TRK/HEAD-LAMP-LED-7%22RND-9-33V-HEATED/07496

    Companies that rebuild these.

    @thoner7, why don't you give Steve K. (aka Retired Warhorses) a call and have a chat, he can walk you through things, he's a great guy - and he sells HMMWVs too. He's in the book if you google for him.

    Montana Title

    UT is the national title code for "utility vehicle" aka "suburban" body style as you guessed. My original MT title was issued in error as a truck and it was corrected to UT. It does not have to do with on road/off road.

    80 MPH Speedometer Backlight?

    My speedo lights up, so I think you have a connection or bulb issue.

    prices

    One could make a pretty good living buying the non-runners from GP and parting them out. $5K for a set of doors? Almost covers the cost of a buying the truck if you get one with doors.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    I fled New York, I just need to update my location. HMMWV’s seem to be pretty rare in High Country CO. I know of only one other in Routt County. I also know of a guy in Grand County who has one inbound but is waiting for his EUC to clear. Drove over Independence Pass the other day (not in...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I fixed a minor but annoying problem. I had installed my Camotek side blinker modules a few weeks ago and it worked great, but my side markers had some overspray of tan paint from when govplanet touched up the truck on the lot. That tan paint made the markers unreasonably hard to see. A bit...

    Winch and weight forward of the front axle

    I'm going off on a lark and adding a winch to my M1165A1. I've secured an ECV front winch plate and am planning on adding a Sherpa 17K winch. What I'm worried about now is the added weight in the front of the vehicle and weight. About 70 pounds for the winch and close to that for the mounting...

    60 Minutes has a story of military vehicle accidents. Tonight NOW west coast.

    Just to share my .02 on rollovers, when I first had my HMMWV in the rugged winters of Colorado I braked hard on a downhill mountain road at about 35 mph. Not being smart enough to pump the brakes, I put the vehicle into a 1080 spin that was terrifyingly and centrifugally bad. Despite that I...

    It's hard -- but not impossible -- to roll your HMMWV.

    M1151 front AC not working - $10 fix

    The older style valves from the M998s with pull cable are a much better choice and also a cheaper replacement. I've had two of the solenoid actuated versions go bad on me.
