    Washer Contacts

    I use an Amazon.com one. Also buy an extra for extra keys. Used a 00 set of cables off of a new slave plug to run the cables through. Some people use smaller gauge wire, but with the amps running through the beast.. I wouldn't. Mounted on front of passenger seat box or behind. Amazon search term...

    Washer Contacts

    Always disconnect batteries before touching anything electrical. Install a battery cut off switch so you don't have to continually disconnect batteries. Make sure the wires line up in order on BOTH contacts. I do all vehicles the same so I never mismatch. From left to right 57F-71c-27k.

    shims on xdoors

    Add another lock shim or two. Some (minor) adjustment on hard door strike possible. If you use a bunch the door lever will probably bind at the door bracket because it's pushed out so far. NSN 5365011979383 P/N 5584299 .SPACER,PLATE

    What is this strap for?

    Is that the rear driver side footwell? Then it's a hold down for emergency triangle road reflector/jack/etc. Looks like both parts there. Slips through slot in insulation.

    HMMWV Won't Start - Even after the usual suspects have been repaired......

    In what order did you do repairs? Out of sequence or not all done at same time will short out your components. Test voltage at glow plugs to see if they are getting current. There are also 2 fuses behind dash. Fuse 2 (top) controls dash lights plus works with EESS/glowplugs. You always need a...

    Windshield adhesive / sealant

    Think you mean marine sealant (on Amazon) rather than RTV. Have seen rebuild guys put a bead of sealant on edge of frame and then put the windshield in. Doesn't seem that AMG put any sealant at factory though. Also, once it gets dusty enough, seems to seal itself. 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant...

    M1123 A2 - Intermittent sound

    Sure it's not just the cooling fan? Goes off at 200-225? deg. Really loud and sucks all the power out of your rig, right? Works as it should.

    Google 'plastic plugs' and there are a few sources. BLowes and Home Deport have some in stock in the nut/bolt/automotive drawers, although small selection. Right of doghouse on tunnel uses a metal backer and rubber grommet shaped like the hole... holds the radio power cable/etc in place. Couple...

    rivet removal

    Also combine drill through with cutting off rivet back with grinder/cut off wheel for the pesky ones. Nail punch and hammer should knock it out.

    RHINO Tire carriers

    Epay usually has them listed $600 to $800 used on average. Sometimes more if someone is desperate. Shipping costs extra which tends to make it both difficult and expensive. Prob need 20% extra to pay GL auction fees after buy price.

    RHINO Tire carriers

    Might take one off your hands since I might be in NC/SC mid Oct. Have some spare Rhino parts like the shim/washer set with bottom lock nut, safety pins, bolt sets, etc. Looks like you're going to need them. Lol.

    How to remove AC / FAN control decal plate

    You have to take out the instrument panels 4 screws to access the back of the plate (and unscrew the nuts). Follow both of the pull knob lines and completely disconnect them/pull them out. Gives you time to think if it was/is/will be worth it all in the end. Ha!
