I emailed Seco and suggested they put a simple watermark on their photos, as their photos are used in a LOT of scams. They didn't even acknowledge it. :confused:

OK, for the people that keep their HMMWVs looking like HMMWVs, how do you hear about the need for one by a movie?

The 2023 movie The Covenant featured the lead HMMWV in this scene, and several others appear in the background. How do I know this is NOT one of Steven's? In one scene they pan across the dash and there's one of those keyed ignition switches. Helmet hart top and soft doors:

Here's a few from the B-Roll: First time I'd seen this setup. Arctic heater switch. Lots of hole plugs in this dash and the air differential gauge is relocated. Typical interior. One of the nicer DRMO bound vehicles. Several got parked in the lot recently, some with two military...

It's a base that stores what they refer to as "reentry vehicles" so these are USMC security forces. I've seen both the red and the clear, but remember the clear might look clear but flash red - who knows. The license plates say USMC and "For official use only". We corralled one of the...

I think it's the light reflecting off the glass - not white but clear.

I stopped at the (going to) DRMO lot and this one is still there. Story is a young Marine drove it off one of the magazines (sort of like a Quonset hut covered in dirt/grass) and dropped it 30' strait to the ground.

Drove out to the base to top up the tank and saw these parked at the former auto hobby shop nearby:

A switch that opens the neutral safety circuit is easy to install and effective.

Nothing improves the poor visibility out of a HMMWV like ... hey, wait a minute... I assume the windshield wipers are tied back (forward) to help you get the glass out, not because you put the tint on the outside? Looks good though!

I thought about bidding on that too, and the other one, myself but balked. Please keep us advised on the installation - I'm interested to hear how that goes, what parts you needed source, etc.

Friend is looking at the auctions for an 802, and there are several coming up soon. He asked about blow-by as the units tested all have what appears to be a lot of blow-by. So tonight I fired mine up and it's definitely blowing oil mist out the oil fill port and making a mess. Similar to...

Risk has two components, likelihood of occurrence, and consequences of occurrence. Scoring this risk on the matrix seems to fall under 1 or 2, and neither scores high. Agree. It's something to think about but enough risk to go crazy over.

The best engineering is the simplest engineering. Unless you can find a solenoid strong enough to pinch a rubber fuel line, you'll be breaking the fuel path somewhere whether you use a manually operated valve or an electrically operated valve. If you use an electrically operated valve you'll...

I'm imagining you've climbed out on the hood prior to Step 1 and assuming the alignment on the truck is good.

1. Using your panic-enhanced strength, rip the mushroom off the intake 2. Mimicking Groundskeeper Willie, tear your shirt from your body 3. Stuff the shirt down the intake 4. Buy a round of beer for the house :beer:

How about a manual valve with the handle/knob into the cabin where the fording valve used to be? Fuel feed to the filter is in close proximity. Maybe/sorta

I might need to check mine then, it sprays straight down at the dirt. 🤷‍♂️

Curious to know what might happen if, during such a runaway, you opened the fuel filter drain-cock behind the left front tire. Path of least resistance and all.
