https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/2009-AM-GENERAL-HUMVEE-CUSTOM-MILITARY-6X6-PICKUP-275468 Crazy build pulled a crazy bid! Cool but definitely not my taste.

Has anyone successfully modified the IBIS Tek HID light bars and convert them to LED? I was just curious if anyone had attempted or succeeded at this. Bypassing the ballasts and re-wiring would not be super difficult. I’m more concerned about finding LED’s that would fit with as little...

I’ve been trying to get at the root cause of air in my cooling / power steering loop and while replacing all of the hoses I came across the transmission cooling hard line is loose and wiggly and I’m not sure if this is normal and could possible my the true culprit. Check the video and let me...

I’ve been out of power steering since I got the truck, air in the system. Going to start a hose replacement rampage because the system is so complex… power steering, break booster, fan clutch, transmission, rear diff and transfer case cooling are all connected on this truck…..what could go...

I've been searching the TM's high and low, the best I could find is TM 9-2320-387-24P C05. My truck is a M1165A1 SN 258xxx. I have been unable to identify the source of air in my power steering system, and I'm beginning to realize that the connection to the cooling radiator might be my issue...

I've been messing with my truck for the past few hours and I cannot figure out for the life of me why my heat/ac blower wont kick on. I have bypassed the thermostat, but not getting any voltage at it. There are 3 fuse boxes behind the batter box, only 2 have fuses - tried switching those...

Hey all, I’ve been trying to get my m1165a1 up and running when I can get to my dads building 3 hours from home…. So getting this problem solved has been a nightmare. Issue: insanely difficult steering, foamy power steering fluid and a HORRID noise coming from (I believe the booster). I...

My m1165a1 has these brackets behind the rear seats under the fender. The black cover above it is the a/c condenser cover. The cover is just hanging and has 3 holes (presumably for support) The bracket below it looks like it was for armor (5340015358707). My question is, what have you guys...

Before you all call me dumb, I had read the TM (multiple of them... they all suggest 5/16-16x1.25... I have the bolts, and they did not fit. I'm unfortunately not with the truck (in another state) to play trial and error or guess that bolt. Can anyone tell me an alternative bolt that may fit...

Few issues while working on the 1165 today! For the female door hinges, the standard hinge bolt does not want to thread in. I’m convinced it’s a totally different thread. Has anyone figured this one out? And second, the center hood bumper is totally misaligned. Does the armor hood bumper...

Curious what this tab is for on radio trays?

For those of you who have formally up-armored trucks. When you replaced the windshields, is there a lower windshield retainer? I spoke with Craig at mac motors and he helped me get the proper ECV retainers for the center and top/sides. But I’m wondering if the ECV trucks are supposed to have...

I just got a set of western Kentucky surplus hard doors and MAN ARE THEY HEAVY. I have a de-mil m1165, and the front door hinge reinforcement component was left in the truck. I have removed them as the threads for the standard door hinges still exist. For those of you with x-doors, is the body...

Anyone have good suggestions on how to remove rotted headliner? I used a paint scraper to take the chunky layer off… all that remains is the sticky layer and it’s impossible to get off. Open to hearing others successes and failures!

When I got my new (to me) M1165, I was able to get the non-runner…. Running… by adding batteries and a start box. Pleasant surprise. The not so pleasant surprise was the steering. There were some pretty awful high pitch noises and felt like the PS was completely dead. After bleeding the system...

Merry Christmas y’all! I just got a chance to look at my m1165 for the first time yesterday and noticed the half demil fire suppression system. Does anyone have good resources for the system? Google has not been very fruitful. Thanks!

For those of you with M1165’s what did you do to smooth over the armor demil visually? I need to source some windshield parts and some doors but I’m worried it may look clunky from the demil! Just got my first truck that was once up-armored. Need to hear what the pros have done! Open to photos...

As you all already know... CAMO is always making super cool products! Just when you thought he couldn't out-do the PDMGC ("box")... he created a product that turns your front side markers into blinkers! This is an early prototype, and the new module works even during the day... so its even...

For those of you running 12/24 bolt rims without bead locks or run flats, what PSI are you running? I’m at about 45PSI out of fear of losing the bead, but maybe it’s too high? Id love to hear your thoughts!

Has anyone unwired their STE/ICE harness? Are there any known electrical impacts do doing so? I’d like to use the plug for something cooler like power to my radio tray or secret ignition cutoff etc. I’ve searched here and everyone agrees it’s useless, however, not many people talk about...
