    Alignment Specifications

    Anyone have them? I have found a lot of different opinions on what to use and some basic military toe sets, but nothing that shows good specs for all 3 angles.

    What broke? Place your bets

    Thought I heard some PS hissing that went away at full lock. Ignored it, driving along about 35mph wind shield gets blasted with fluid. Go to pull off the road no steering and no brakes. Pull out a can of spinach and yank the beast off the road and stand on the brake pedal. Open the hood and...

    Bracket that bolts on to hub

    What is the purpose of the bracket that bolts on to the hub? It bolts onto the 4 holes on the hub near the lugs.

    Heater intake

    Was the rubber intake replaced with a hard plastic intake? Mine is ripped and looking for a replacement I have found some hard plastic intakes, but not sure if it is the same part.

    mrap adjustable seat base

    Has anyone installed a mrap adjustable seat base in the driver seat like this? I am looking at an mrap seat so this would make the installation of the seat to base easier as long as the base to floor isn't excessive. Right now I have the old style lawn chair seat with the rigid base.

    Where can I find Floor Insulation?

    It seems I can find all the floor insulation parts except the driver side floor. Passenger sides seem plentiful, but the driver side is out of stock everywhere. I found a supplier that will order for me direct from the manufacturer, but I have to order 8! I guess I could sell the other 7 on...

    Source for Soft Doors?

    Anyone have a suggestion for a source for used soft doors? I am wanting to make some half doors and only need the frame and considering 90% of what is auctioned looks like they need to be replaced, I would think I could find them at a reasonable price since there really is no value in a worn...

    Soft Door Latch Catch

    Oddly my new top kit had the rear catch, but not the fronts (instructions say to oddly say to reuse the existing ones). It looks like they are just light gauge round bar I figure I can bend some myself. Could someone be so kind and grab the dimensions off of theirs? Really just need to know...

    Finally got my Florida Tag and title

    After hours on end of research, multiple calls to DHSMV, 3 trips to the regional MV office, $166 ($40 of which will be refunded), and two months of time, I finally have my title and tag. My tag number ends in 000 which is the first one that this office has issued. Being a new process created a...

    Name that sound

    I have been avoiding highway use, but had no choice today. While cruising at 55 mph on a warm 80 degree day there was a loud fan like noise that nearly made me jump out of my seat. It had no effect on speed or power, but it was a sound like when you step on the gas and the trans shifts, but...

    Passenger side floor insulation

    Getting ready to replace the floor insulation and trying to determine what all I need to remove to get the old one out and the new one in. A bit concerned about the level of effort because it looks like the copper lines that run into the heater core are tight against the pad. Thinking...

    Let's talk about HMMWV paint

    Getting ready for paint and struggling to meet some criteria. I am looking for quality paint that matches the correct color (Olive Drab) and finish that is available by the gallon and also in rattle can. I don't have no interest in CARC. I found this site...

    Font and size of lettering

    Does anyone know the font and the size of the lettering like "NOSTEP" or "TIE DOWN" decals? I am planning on getting some made and want them to be as correct as possible.

    Half Doors on IP

    Curious if anyone has bought the half doors listed on IP. They seem to be very pricey at $1400 for 4 plus the transaction fee and shipping which puts them about $400 per door. Unless they are using 7075 there is no more than $100 in material per door.

    taboo to talk

    I still don't understand why it is taboo to talk about it here. The Defense Logistic Agency isn't the organization that determines what your state DMV issues titles and registrations too. Yes they stamp them with "off road only", but that is for their protection and has absolutely nothing to...

    After market wheels?

    Anyone have any luck with after market wheels? I am not a fan of the steel wheels and looking for something a little more appealing, a lot lighter, and something that isn't a 16.5.

    M1123 Holes

    I think it was BadRobot that metioned all the holes in his M1123 that you can't really see in the pictures, but I think this picture explains all the ones around the passenger area. It looks like they are from the armor that was removed...

    GP 3 day payment

    Anyone know why GP demands payment in 3 days if you can't pick up your items when you pay for them? That seems kind of odd that the govt would allow that since the govt procurement rules would not allow that to occur in reverse. When you sell to the govt, you can't say "pay me now and I will...
