M1165 windshield wipers

[Jeffphillips]

Can someone help me out on windshield wipers for an M1165? I’m seeing references to both 8.25” wipers and 11” wipers. Is there something I can get at a local auto parts store, or is this another super special unique part that needs to be special ordered from kascar or HPG?

It’s a specific part number. Others have made a quick mod in order to use an off the shelf blade.

Super easy windshield wiper military to civilian on the cheap.

1- remove arm from vehicle. 2- remove blade from arm. Save screw and bolt! 3- grind off rivets that hold the blade receiver to the arm. [EDIT 05/28/2020 - just cut the arm immediately proximal to the closest rivet. Just cut it off and forget about all the grinding and smoothing. The arm...

I bought my wiper blades off of eBay from C&C Surplus. I am using them on the same truck and they work fine.

I use wiper arms and blades from a EDIT I use YJ arms not TJ arms (87-95), they wipe much better and refills are only a walmart away.

To add to what others have said.. 11" blades for standard windshields, 8.25" for the armored (like ibis tek knockout) windshield.

I use wiper arms and blades from a Jeep YJ, they wipe much better and refills are only a walmart away.

What year specifically? I tried this and they were wayyy too long.

I am extremely sorry, I meant YJ arms not TJ arms, I do suffer from CRS. but that is no excuse.
I sincerely hope I did not cost you too much money
I have corrected the post.
Again I apologize to anyone that I caused grief....

They cost me nothing, don't worry about it! I'll hunt down the correct ones thanks to you!

If you want to order the blades online I found these. They also sell the original arms. If you want aftermarket arms and blades look for arms that fit a 1980 - 1995 Jeep CJ7 /Wrangler,that's what I did and they work great, and like Mogman stated "...refills are only a Walmart away."
