    Helmet top installation issue - Windshield adjustment?

    I scored a helmet top. I'm having the same problem with it as I had with my soft top parts. That is, it seems like my windshield is angled towards the cab too much or something like that. With the top installed directly over the B pillars, the front is overhanging where it should drop into...

    HMMWV A2 - Transmission/Tachometer Issues

    I'm hoping these issues link to the same root cause, so I'm grouping them together. 6.5L GEP engine, 4L80E transmission. I have a tachometer that SOMETIMES acts like this as well as sometimes just pegging all the way at full RPM even though the engine is clearly not at that speed...

    X-Door Window Sizes

    Has anyone had X-Door windows made and know which size to use? I'm seeing there are two different types available, a basic armor and a supplemental armor. I'll have the basic armor window frames, so that's my main interest. But might as well share all info if anyone else needs something later...

    Which aluminum alloy(s) are used on the HMMWV?

    Just curious if anyone knows. I'm looking to do some designs and potentially welding to doors, body, etc. It'd be good to know which aluminum alloy it is so I know which products to use.

    Part # for closeout panels for smaller rear half doors?

    Does anyone know the part number for the left and right closeout panels on the smaller rear half doors? I'm talking about the panel that bolts to the hinge bolt holes on the B-pillar and replicates the same hinge a little further back to the rear wheel. In the picture below, it's the panel on...

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    My wife drove the M1123 for the first time today, which means I got to follow this truck for the first time today. Let me just state the obvious and say WOW it's a cool looking truck. It's funny how much different they look when they're actually on the road. Also, she loved driving it. What...

    TyreBeads - HMMWV/Runflats?

    Has anyone ever used TyreBeads in the HMMWV or have any thoughts on it? I bought what SHOULD be enough to balance all of the tires, but upon receiving them I started to think about how the HMMWV tire with the run flat is a bit more complicated than most tires and I didn't know if that would be...

    M1123 A2 - Intermittent sound

    When driving the Humvee for a little while, there is the constant buzz sound that I assume is the Cadillac valve for the power steering or something. Every now and then, that sound will go away and a loud rushing of air sound happens. It sounds like a lot of suction like a massive fan turns...

    A2 (M1123) Cold Starting Trouble

    So my M1123 is having trouble starting when it's cold out. I checked the cold advance circuit and everything is working the way it should. Manually hitting the throttle after the wait light goes off is done regularly to engage the cold advance plunger since apparently the electrical system...

    Soft Top Roof Rails

    Has anyone had to cut their soft top roof rails in order to install them? I just got my B-pillar rabbet pieces from Kascar, and there's no way these roof rails fit within the rabbets and the windshield frame. Additionally, the hole pattern on the rabbets doesn't perfectly match the holes...

    ACTUAL HMMWV width?

    I'm having a nearly impossible time finding a trailer that fits the Humvee according to various specs and measurements for the HMMWV width from the outside of tire to tire. Yet when I look online I see people using U-haul trailers for their M998, and I see HMMWVs on what looks like several 7'...

    M1123 Purchase and Build Thread - Virginia

    Okay... so I'm hoping the mods understand this is a different topic than other M998/M1038 HMMWV threads because I will discuss titling... I messaged Warthog and got no response, and I just received another PM question about an M1123 from another gentleman in VA. The goal of this thread is to...

    HMMWV Electrical Connectors - Bullet Style

    I'm talking about these style connectors on the left: 1) What is the actual name of them? 2) Are they superior in any way to other typical automotive bullet connectors? 3) Where can I find them? 4) What tools are needed to make them properly. 5) Any amperage limits on this style...

    Parts for 6.5L GEP Optimizer/4L80E HMMWV

    Any suggestions on where to get parts for the 6.5L GEP Optimizer engine and 4L80E transmission? Ideally, I'd like to be able to hop on Rock Auto and look for parts for a 2002 6.5L Chevrolet van or something... I'm hoping the answer is that simple to get filters, serpentine belts, etc. But I'm...

    It's official... I bought a HMMWV

    2005 M1123. 6.5L Optimizer, 4 speed 4L80E transmission, 81 miles on the clock. I'll be starting the EUC wait shortly. This is a not an "off road use only" truck. Sold by the Marine Corps with a clear SF97. What do you think its job was?
