    Do we know how long the auctions will continue?

    I’ve loved my humvee project since buying it two years ago. I want to get another one, a REV non-runner, as a bigger project. I’m just wondering how long I can wait before the auctions come to an end?

    Cost of shipping non-runner

    What prices should one budget when shipping a truck from auction? I paid 1800 a few years ago, but that was a running truck and going through a big online shipping company. I’ve been shopping the auctions and should know what to expect for shipping costs. I’m 7hours from the Georgia location...

    AC help , which TM? Oil from rear evaporator m1165

    My ac is not working in my 1165. I don’t really know where to start, but I figured getting all the pieces connected was a good idea so. I also have not found the proper TM section yet. The rear evaporator was removed and oil leaked out of one of the lines. I wasn’t sure if I need to top off...

    Black lights.

    Are there any OEM lights —tail lights, running lights, turn signals — that come in black? Or does AMGenral only make them in Green? I see lots of black ones online but I assume those are knockoffs?

    I’m away visiting family for the summer, so I can’t get these measurements. And we need to buy a new cooler, one of those expensive yeti style ones. Id like a cooler to fit up above the rear tire, strapped down on top of the fender. So if someone could tell me the width of the fender...

    REV overheating - normal?

    It’s finally summer here in TN. 90 degrees today. Coming home from a trail, I went 8-9 miles on a major road doing 60 mph. Engine temps shot up and the red idiot light came on as it was overheating. Coolant temps have never been an issue before. I did not expect that, given that the REV...

    This hvac ductwork does do anything!

    My truck has the updated HVAC ducting on the dash. It also has this one duct which seemingly runs from the passenger area, inside the tunnel, then out at the drivers feet. I get little to no airflow through it at all. It doesn’t look plugged up? I’m thinking of closing it off to quiet down...

    Icy Roads

    My town is dealing with some ice and snow from this big storm that’s hit a lot of the country. My wife jokingly asked if I’d take the humvee out today because of the snow. I didn’t, and I was just out in my F150. while driving, my ABS braking system activated a few times, and I wondered what...

    LED lights wiring problem?

    I bought a box of small led lights labeled “rock lights”. I installed them as reverse lights and because I had an extra, an interior dome light. I am powering these lights with that Orion 12v converter. When running the wire I kept checking my circuits with a 12v battery charger to make sure...

    Transfer case shifting and BTM

    Went off road for the first time recently. I had some trouble shifting the T case. It would grind gears when trying to shift. Park (for the trans) seemed to work for shifting into HL but not always. I took a video https://youtube.com/shorts/Dc-h9FPj7C8 but the only time I got it into L...

    REV winch options

    I’ve searched around and have not found any winch options for the REV trucks. I believe they have different radiator mountings than other ECV trucks and that might affect winch positioning?? If there isn’t a simple solution, what do people think of mounting a trailer hitch receiver up front...

    THE PLASTIC — Tail light housing and side marker light housing

    I purchased a new set of housings as some are cracked. Having them in my hand - I’m wondering if this plastic is UV stable?? It just seems like it’s not, and should be painted, to prevent them from cracking in the future. Curious if painting is necessary or not??

    Gauge lights

    I currently have green gauge lights that are super dull at night. I don’t think my “bright” setting works as it’s as equally dim on either setting. Are there brighter bulb options out there? Would white bulbs be brighter?

    Tunnel insulation

    Did they produce tunnel insulation in multiple colors for the 4 man trucks? I feel like I’ve seen black and tan, in addition to the typical green. I found one tan piece on eBay but I don’t recognize the pattern. I guess someone could have painted them, but did any come that way from AM...

    Hood hook seals

    The seals around my air lift hooks don’t line up correctly. Is this common? The hood itself looks like it’s on right, only that the rubber is off. I’ve looked at new rubber and they don’t appear to have any play in their mounting...
