Hello All,
Just a reminder to make sure you all replace your tires with old date codes or tires near expiration of the date codes. Plenty of people run our Hmmwvs on tires from the auction which are generally old and dry rotted. Please take the time to replace them. These tires weren't yet...
Ok, my blue body spacers have degraded and apparently have been crushed by the weight of the body of the truck.
A couple of questions:
1. Does anyone have these body spacers back in stock? They were a very hard to find item a year ago. Are the blue spacers the best or are the purple or black...
Looking to get a couple of these QR code panels made to place under the windshield of the truck to match the registered Vin number of the vehicle so Leo's wouldn't need to ask me to open my driver's door.
Any ideas?
I have looked high and low for these. I can't find one on epay or in any of the forums.
It's this green panel that fastens to the tailgate and has the straps mounted to it. Please let me know if anyone has one or can locate one.
Thanks
Does anyone know the weight of the 1167 or the 1151 REV trucks? I am referring to the weight of their configuration post demil process.
Govplanet is using the curb weight of the truck as listed on the data plate WITH the armor but that is not how the truck is being released to us. I would...
I am hearing many people speak about the large 400 Amp alternators in the newer trucks and that they are so large / heavy that they will eventually damage the harness for the truck and recommend removing it and swapping it with the 200 Amp alternator. What is the group's thoughts / experience...
My understanding is that the Turbo trucks have a 1-2 inch body lift to accommodate the turbo assembly on the 6.5 engine. It seems apparent from what can only be considered a closeout panel on the rear left and right sides of the truck between the body and the airlift bumper. Can someone confirm...
Can someone describe the difference in the driving experience between the A2 trucks vs the REV trucks?
Handling, acceleration, braking, etc. I've heard the REV trucks run at higher RPMs in routine driving than the A2 trucks but I'm not certain. Do the REV trucks feel not as quick as people...
Hello all,
I finally finished all of the big work I wanted to get done on my truck. I just finished the carpet today. As we all know the work is never quite complete but this is a massive milestone for me and I want to thank everyone on the board that has helped me get to this point. I want to...
Has anyone done a seat replacement on their truck? It would be nice to get a head rest
Or head neck support in the event of getting rear ended. Obviously, there isn't a lot of seat room
In the cabin, so I'm looking for a seat with a base cushion no wider than 23 inches or so.
Thinking about...
Has anyone ever used DynaPad for sound deadening and/or heat Reduction?
Dynapad is the heavier material without an adhesive side. It can be used like padding under carpet if need be. Curious to see if anyone has used it.
What are some real world benefits of the REV over the ECV? I understand it has the upgrade to the cooling stack (geared fan) and the cooled differentials but I'm not sure how meaningful the geared fan is over the ECV version or the cooled differentials.
Both models have the willwood brakes and...
Hello All, I was able to finally locate a rhino tire carrier. However, the company that makes them no longer sells the repair kit and the documentation isn't specific enough regarding the pivot pin retainer washer specs.
The retainer washer can be seen in the adjoining pics. Does anyone per...
I am in the process of painting my truck and I was shocked at the price of materials for paint. For decent, solvent based paint (Valspar) 2 Gallons of paint, primer, clear coat, reducer, hardener, etc. price points are coming in over 2k just for materials. We are in a different world today.
Does anyone have an idea just how many more Hmmwvs will be headed to auction? I saw a post earlier this week that the Marines are running out of Hmmwvs that are available to be sent for auction. I have no idea if this is true but I am curious as to how many more Hmmwvs will be auctioned off.
What is the highest mileage hmmwv anyone has encountered? I'm curious as to the life expectancy of the hmmwv with the 4 speed 4l80e with the 6.5 NA engine specifically.
Why does it seem as though the m1114 is the odd ball of the hmmwv family. I've tried researching this model and it doesn't appear different from the performance specs of the 1151, 1165, 1167 etc. But the body is somewhat different from all models. It's like it tried to bridge the gap from the a2...
