Awesome! It sounds like you already went through the many stages of Humvee ownership: 1) Anticipation - Can't wait to my hands on her! 2) Excitement - I can't believe I own a Humvee. This is pretty awesome!! 3) Realization - Wow, it's loud and slow. These seats are not comfy. Driving 50 MPH...

Nice write up, and sounds like you made it a fun trip. I'm glad to hear you were able to work through all the issues, and ended up better than you started. Congratulations getting what you wanted home safe and in one piece.

I dunno... Since this unit is up for auction, $18K is just the starting point. I wouldn't have a concern the owner is dumping it at a major loss just to get rid of it. He's taking a gamble the auction will go higher. If you can get it for less than $20, it could be a decent deal. In my...

erasedhammer: Any pictures of your seats? Certainly on the short list of to-do's.

"I love this POS", MaverickH1 Couldn't have said it better.

I've read several older threads regarding the fit of X-Doors with a soft top. The doors I have don't seem to work with the standard door strikers. If I push really hard, I *may* get to the first click. There was some discussions of using shims on the door side, underneath the locking...

If you've got the spot to keep it, the tools and desire to work on it, realistic expectations of owning an older vehicle, owning one of these is a ton of fun! Parts seem to be plentiful, plus expertise and assistance from this forum is immense. I drive mine as much as I can, but do try to...

That truck looks sweet! Congrats and welcome from San Diego! As others have mentioned, the challenge is, these things are not great for long travel. You'll be fine. I would just keep it at 55, and not push it too hard. You may want to stop to get some supplies after you get her. Some...

Thanks Formula223 for the write up. This is on my short list of to-do's. Did you use a relay or just drive the light direct from where you tapped into power?

So I've noticed driving around town, guys 40 and over look and give a thumbs up. Guys in their 50's and over are more likely to strike up a conversation and ask where I got it. Kids love 'em when they are close, and love to climb all over inside. My 10 year old begs me to take him to school...

Great idea. Regarding the rivnuts/nutserts: 1) Did you have to enlarge the holes? I understand the need to put the anti-slip notch in. 2) Does the rivnut create a small gap between the shifter and the floor and did you need to install some seal there? 3) Ryanruck: It looks like you needed...

I'm curious as well. I do see on Eriks Military Surplus site there are these notices: Disconnect batteries before installing the control box. Failure to disconnect batteries before installing or removing control box connectors will damage the control box. It is highly recommended to check...

Thank you Juanprado. This is exactly what I was looking for. PM sent. Chris.

New M998A1 owner from San Diego - glad to be here and I have a power for accessories question. I'm looking to power a few things up front, such as a USB charger for my phone (don't want to be stuck and a dead phone) and maybe an interior LED, backup camera, etc. What's the best way to install...

Congrats on the score and welcome from San Diego! She looks really clean and I love the slantback. Awesome. As I'm about two weeks ahead of you as far as ownership, it looks like you got a good one. The better seats are certainly an upgrade. I don't see any insulation around the drives side...

I see "Those Military Guys" are having their four-day excursion this weekend 2/23 - 2/26 2017. i won't have mine ready in time to go, but looks like it would be a ton of fun! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163398-Tmg-off-road-adventure-weekend
