That weekend is right before a long business trip for me so I probably can't attend. My idler and pitman arms must still be replaced as well (gathering funds and part numbers). I expect I'll miss this event, but I appreciate this thread very much Jeff, as I'm one of the non-Facebook users here...

Welcome from Alexandria VA up north. Deuce prices have come down in recent years. A decently maintained machine can be had for circa $5,000. You need to have cash and be ready to move is all. This forum and Craigslist are worth watching. If you don't mind a project and ALX isn't too far, I...

Agreed, try to adjust the switch attached to the pedal arm and see if that helps. Bulldogger

RC is all well and good. Those who prefer a challenge build stick and tissue balsa. Here is a Cleveland Spitfire I made from scratch from plans out of a kit from 1942. Have the kit, complete, but contents too aged to be used. Hard to immediately tell, but the wingspan is a full 36" Bulldogger

You might check the wiring to the Cadillac valve, and trace the wires back to the harness and as far beyond as you can. It's essentially a big solenoid. Mine was malfunctioning, and was the source of my fan being clutched in 100%. Checking the wiring connections and continuity didn't...

I bought some steel 1/2" conduit and a mess of fittings to throw something together but haven't had time. After standing behind my HMMWV with the various fittings for half an hour I believe I have a picture in my mind of how to put together a soft slant back, with hatchback of course, but I...

You should come Rocky, no current MV necessary. [I wanted to spend more time with you. Please help me know the MOOG parts you are referring to. I want to beef mine up for next year. If I can be half as good as you I will be happy.] Jeffy777, it was great to meet you and Jeff Jr as well...

That's the one :-)

My son and I had a blast as expected. The weather was less than perfect a few days, but it sure made for some interesting trail rides. Nearly tore off my idler arm and ball joint, unfortunately. Managed to crank down enough on the castle nuts to get it good enough for asphalt surfaces and the...

Broke mine, or nearly so. On Saturday at the Graves Mountain Rally. Particularly hard trail, first HMMWV up it was stuck for a while but we got him free. I tried to get up and put serious strain on my steering trying to jink back and forth for traction. We ended up having to back down, trail...

I use the Lucas Extra Heavy Duty green stuff as well, https://lucasoil.com/products/grease/lucas-x-tra-heavy-duty-grease Amazon carries it cheap. Bulldogger

Half Doors! Finished all of the canvas stretching and stretching, then cut out openings for hinge screws in doorhandles. Then with the help of my soldier be mounted the hinges and handles then put the half doors on the Humvee Looking good Bulldogger

I'd look around at your auto parts store in the "HELP" brand section or whatever they term it at your store for general purpose body parts and springs and all that. Should be some plastic shims, plastic fittings or vinyl grommets you can use. No need to go NSN, unless you're a purist. Bulldogger

Went through the right hand wheel bearings and brakes. It was suffering from water intrusion, and the grease packing looked like caramel fudge. After cleaning it all out I decided to open the left side again, since I did it at night and thought maybe I couldn't see the color of the grease as...

Got the left side wheel opened up to inspect the brake drum and wheel bearing. A return spring for the top of the rear shoe was broken. Ran to Advance Auto and bought a large truck spring hardware bag and modified one of the general purpose springs to fit. Peace of mind gained in an hour's...

I was hoping to see video of the HEMTT doing its thing! Too bad. BDGR

Can't argue that HMMWV offroad exhaust won't degrade even faster, and that's a good point to share. I haven't driven with the new decking long, maybe that will be enough. I'm unlikely to get around to wrapping anyway, but will keep your point in mind for sure. Bulldogger

This doesn't involve me, but thanks for being proactive and informative PHasty. It is appreciated. Bulldogger
