    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    They had minimal movement. They weren't touching, but real close. I swapped out the new short for the original long stud isolators. I installed the old washers behind the isolators to give them a smidge more clearance Way better thread engagement and housing clearance now. Thanks for the...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Reading this made me revisit my Short stud issue with my Trucklite LEDs. I dug out my old headlight buckets and harvested the isolators. I will move the beast outside in the morning to see if I can effect an isolator transplant.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    finally took it offroad and ran the transfer case through the ranges. Real hard to shift even using all my slow roll in neutral skills. It shifts, but right at that "somethings gonna break" effort. I cleaned an lubed the shifters and pivot points of the linkages last week so those are good to go.

    Please help with NP218 issue

    I wonder if thats what I got going on now...It was a knuckle+ low when I changed fluid. Then it started the leak. There is evidence that it has been happening in the past.

    Recovering vehicle markings

    I use fine sand paper, red scotchbrite, steel wool, acetone. Slowly work the layers away. the acetone just cleans away the sanding dust.

    Soft Top Ambulance cover?

    I was comparing the dimensions of the Gama Goat's cargo box...88"long x 81"wide to my 2 man m998...87"long x 83" wide. You could probably get one to fit with some customizing of the bows. Like a short 2 man cargo top

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I'm planning to replace the wood with fiberglass. The wood just seems out of place on these trucks. To me, the fiberglass boards are synonymous with the HMMWV.

    Soft Top Ambulance cover?

    Seems like the dimensions are way off for the HMMWV top. The side curtains would be 4 foot long and the top would be like 12 foot and it should be 7 foot wide. I wonder what they are from.
