    LED headlight lens?

    Whatever fits would be fine, the cheapest replacement that looks just like it costs about $150. So if I could get a set of replacements and adapters for less than that it would work.

    Fluids for HMMWV

    Purolator L34631 is a solid filter, there's also the ACDelco factory one PF1218 which fits both my 6.5 and 6.2

    LED headlight lens?

    Can you replace just the lens? Cold shock must have been what cracked the glass on my nice LED headlights that came with it. If not, where can you get a cheap replacement? A quick search shows they're really expensive. Mine look like this:

    Fluids for HMMWV

    I put GL-5 gear lube in the diffs and portals. Regular green antifreeze works fine and your best bet for engine oil is standard 15W40 diesel oil, its super cheap at the farm store.

Where I'm running into a problem now is the passenger door won't stay shut, it keeps popping open. Are there different strikers for the soft doors vs the...

    What to expect from a 3k Red River A2

    there's a weird phenomenon where all the red river ones have the radiators yanked lately, it wasn't like that when I got mine six months ago. I can only assume they're pulling them for rebuilds since RR is the main place in the world that rebuilds them.

    HMMWV M1097R1 specific

    It started right up and drives but pulls to the right, someone local is going to show me how to align it. Alternator rattles a bit but other than that I’ve still been driving it after a full lube up. Need to figure out why the heater doesn’t blow on the drivers side floor because that will hurt...

    Proper way to lube chassis?

    No the boot popped and blew out some of the grease the ball joint is fine from the looks of it

    Proper way to lube chassis?

    I don't remember the last time I used a grease gun on zerks, but I definitely damaged at least one of them. Probably should have watched a youtube video on how do to this before trying. Where I went wrong is assuming that you just pump grease in until it starts weeping then move onto the next...

    Title issues in Arkansas with HMMWVs

    I have an R1 with a less than 25 years old date stamped on it, but no "off road use only" stamp on the sf-97 so I'll let you know how it goes if I can get it titled or not.
