    High back seat kit install

    Anyone install the front high back seats kit in their HMMWV that can give me some pointers? Anyone do video instructions? I’m starting the process today and the instructions that came with it are no good. And I’m 6’5” so need all the legroom I can get.

    HMMWV Bed Toolbox

    I've been waiting for one of those Special Forces Toolboxes to install in the bed of my HMMWV, but am thinking they're long gone. Wondering if one of these would suffice... (CARC'ed of course). What do you guys think?

    HMMWV Weatherstripping to Seal Hard Doors

    I had to cut off the old beat-up weatherstripping on my hard doors and am looking for alternatives. The OEM seal wasn't thick enough to form a good seal around all the corners. Has anyone found a good aftermarket alternative? Seems like a 1" wide, thick seal with heavy-duty doublestick tape...

    Just a tip here - I've used this self etching primer rattle cans on some small parts that I've had to take down to bare metal and it works great. Plus, it turns out to be a pretty nice olive drab color... https://amzn.com/B003CT498A (But it's only 5 bucks at Home Depot) Rust-Oleum 249322...

    Flatbed HMMWV Trailer?

    I'm looking for a small flatbed trailer for my Humvee. Ideally, it would be like the M1101 or m1102 utility trailer's subframe, but with a flatbed deck. Have you ever seen something like that?

    HMMWV Grounding Kit Install

    I purchased the Grounding Kit from Kascar (PN 535-A1) and installed it over the weekend. I know it's cheap & easy to make one yourself, but I don't have much wiring experience and for $70 I figured I'd get it right the first time. It was a quick & easy install. Here's a write-up in case it helps...

    GMV Development

    I'm looking for some info on the development of the GMV Variant of the HMMWV for the Special Operations groups. For example, did depots start with an M998 and just add the hardtop, C-pillar and SF accessories? Or did they start with a M1025 or similar armament carrier, remove the sponsons and...

    HMMWV Hardtop Roof Installation Pictures

    Has anyone documented the installation of a hardtop roof on a HMMWV? I am in the process now, and having some trouble with a few things. Specifically with attaching the C-Pillar to a truck that's never had the holes drilled. The TM's are great, but don't cover it all. Any pictures or...

    AS-3900 Antenna for CB Radio?

    Newbie to the Radio world so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Can someone tell me if the AS3900 antenna will work with a standard range civilian CB Radio, and get AM/FM Waves as well? I am looking to add one to my truck with a civilian radio communication setup.

    Topless is better!

    Took the boys out west for a rabbit hunt over the weekend and decided to take the Humvee's top off. Man, I never knew this beast could go down the road so smooth! Rides much better without the rattling doors and top. Think I'll leave it off for awhile, until the snow flies maybe.

    AC Install on a Hardtop (Non-Slantback)

    Thinking about installing a Red Dot AC kit on my hardtop GMV (Not a Slantback). Has anyone has seen such a creature? So far, the advice I've received (from a very reputable source) is don't do it, but thought I'd check if there's a mod out there that makes it work. Maybe mounting the condenser...

    Leak Identification Help

    Having a heck of a time identifying this leak, which is dripping from the front driver's side brake caliper. It does look and feel like brake fluid, but the master cylinder is still full. The brake line connections I can see are dry, as is the bleeder. The pictures are taken from the front of...

    Just noticed the rear halfshaft is seeping. Fulled it up with Gear Oil but planning to take a closer look this weekend. Anyone got a suggestion for the part numbers for seals, etc. I should buy to prepare for the job? Thanks,

    M998 Wait Light Quick Flash

    Just noticed a new problem on the Humvee. When switching from stop to run on a cold morning, the Glow Plug Wait Light just flashes quickly, whereas before it would stay lit for a few seconds, until the plugs were warmed up. I wait several seconds anyway, and the truck starts up fine, but am...

    Supplemental Armored Door Install Questions

    Hey fellas. I'm installing some supplemental armored doors on a HMMWV that previously had soft doors. The stock hinges seem flimsy with these heavy doors. Are there sturdier hinges available? I haven't been successful in finding any in the TMs. They mount and close well, but don't seal up...

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up on the GP rep in Barstow. His name is John and he's awesome. Very professional and helpful. Thought it was worth mentioning.
