    M-1026 Oil Leak At This Part

    There should be an O-ring down in there like a distributor would have. Undo that forked clamp and twist the housing out

    wheel/tire options - budget minded?

    The more I search around on this subject, the more I realize what an orphan the HMMWV tire size is if you want a skinnier, less aggressive tire. I want to try some CUCV wheels with something 275/100R16 size...but there isn't much to choose from

    It maintains the chemistry of the battery's plates. Not the charge. https://www.chargingchargers.com/manuals/Solargizer.pdf

    Gun rack mods?

    A friend of mine got ahold of some racks used in police cars. Magnetically lock a shotgun and AR but can open with a hidden switch, or manually with a handcuff key. I'll be ****ed if I cant find pics of it though

    Solarizer system mounting questions

    LOL, I went and looked up under the lip of the box and found the old unit. I'm like..."this is too easy". So I mounted it in the same holes. Later, when reinstalling the battery box lid, I feel it rocking on the lip of the cover and top of the control unit. Had to drill new holes to...

    Any specific location? Or did it vary by installer taste?

    Solarizer system mounting questions

    Im finally getting around to replacing my solargizer system. The original was "de-milled" by cutting the wires just under the hood and removing the whole harness/box stuff. Im wondering if anyone has pics of the units as they were installed originally? If there was a standard routing for the...

    Did you ever figure out who, at the top, is driving the hate? Its got to be some career politician that's taking money from some adversely interested party. Its not like a prius full of prom girls got murdered by some evil war machine just back from afghanistan....is it?

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I like the Avenger style but with the paddle latch. I thought about plywood, but I would prefer to just do it once out of aluminum. Thanks for the info on the thickness. I may still go with thicker sheet in hopes of gaining rigidity without the riveted bracing and having a fold down filler...

    Are you sure that's the official position at DMV HQ in Raleigh? I called our main office in Phoenix and was pleasantly surprised by the helpfulness of the first person I talked to there. Sent me a copy of the affidavit as you couldn't click to find it on their website yet. Unlike the "deep...

    While that is technically true, the army does require that its vehicles meet those standards anyhow. Its all spelled out in MIL-STD-1180B Safety Standards for Military Ground Vehicles. Luckily I was able to sign the affidavit here in AZ.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I'm slowly working on half doors for mine, too. It looks like you popped for the real deal to start with. Im going to fab my own. Im waiting on my local metal supply to save me some 24x38 remnants of 1/4 or 3/16 aluminum sheet. I started by just adding a piano hinge to the door filler panel...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Thanks for the great writeup on those. There is a guy selling them locally for $65 and I have been considering getting a set to install.

    I got mine quick. Auction ended 12/7/18. Picked up 1/8/19. Received SF-97 1/24/19 Army. Marked Off Road Only. Had clean title, regular plates, emissions, and insurance within two hours of receiving the SF-97. Call your state DMV main office for info on the latest hoops for registering a Truck...

    Just purchases M1123, need hauling advice.

    I would try to do this... Instead of timbers and stuff, I would try two heavyduty pallets and two HD ratchet straps. Instead of timbers, use the tires with pallets on top. strapped down tight and all the front and rear strapped down, you should be well within the load specs.. .
