    12k shock mod (Softer Ride)

    Amazingly detailed work, well done, sir! This kind of write up is why forums became so popular for vehicle enthusiasts. It’s a shame so many are dead now. Bravo.

    LED replacement no flashing

    I figured it out. I did what I should have done at the start. I pulled the suspect turn signal and ran it raw off the battery, bypassing the harness altogether. It was doing some odd flickering despite reading a steady voltage, so I took off the other side to see if it was repeatable on that...

    LED replacement no flashing

    @Mainsail, me? I tried that bulb and several other BA9S with non-polarity, no change.

    LED replacement no flashing

    So I went ahead and bought the $350 LED flasher and have the exact same results. Still no flashing on the front corner when the headlights are on, when the headlights are off, the dead light blinks, but is at a lower brightness than the other point despite being the same light. I have checked...

    LED replacement no flashing

    Put simply, I don’t want to spend the next few months chasing down this gremlin if I can throw a few hundred bucks at it and be done with it. If the $20 24v flasher under the dash of my maverick had a cannon plug and worked with LEDs, I’d be down. If I need to fabricate an interface for it...

    LED replacement no flashing

    I removed and replaced all the lights today, checked grounds, made sure grounds were clean and secured- no change. I've noticed that when the headlights are on now, the turn signal "marker light" feature doesn't work on the right signal, meanwhile the left signal doesn't blink and sometimes...

    LED replacement no flashing

    I did the "Ground Harness Mod" when I got the HMMWV a few years back, but I will go back and check the ground at the signals themselves, good call. Thank you!

    LED replacement no flashing

    So I've run into a similar situation as Mainsail. LED turn signals at all four points, won't flash with incandescent bulb in turn signal stalk, lights up and blinks fine with non-polarity LED bulb installed - but here's the catch, when the headlights are also on, one of the turn signals will...

    Aftermarket hood grills

    I'm curious whether cutting the first 1/2-3/4" of the edge of the stock grille and bending it upwards would accomplish the same goal.

    Chinese Aux Diesel Heater

    @McSpeed has one, IIRC. Maybe he can chime in.

    Bimini Jeep Style Top

    I know that's not likely his objective, but it would be a much easier avenue to grow the company. He clearly has a market if he's swamped.

    Bimini Jeep Style Top

    Totally agree. I maintain no social media presence, so using my wife's account for stuff like this is a PITA. For the $100 annual cost plus $30 in web design software, it seems like an easy solve.

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    A couple of cans of black PlastiDip and you're in business! I can't stand two tone wheels, but that's just my opinion.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Looks like an enterprising thief could make out with about $100k in doors in a few minutes with a set of tin snips and some basic hand tools... of course, the two decades in the Federal Pen might stink.

    Quick heater question

    IIRC the heater core from a 1965 mustang without AC can be made to fit in the space with minor modifications if you need the heat.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thank you for the link! I saw a set for $65/ea but they looked questionable, the LED grid looked different than the Trucklite. Might still be worth the risk to see if they function.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thank you! I just bought a set! That’s way better than the $700-1,000 I was seeing before. Any chance you have a lead on fronts?
