    Jerry Can Mount

    You are right for most people. And I actually saw another build with 4 cans mounted on the driver's side. For me though: 1) For 13 years I've driven cargo vans with nothing but front windows so I'm pretty adept at driving with just my mirrors for visibility. 2) That spot gets blocked anyway...

    Jerry Can Mount

    I do think the one like I've got will work with the Rhino mounted where it is but, mounting the carrier is going to put it at the extreme edge of the bumper possibly to the point only 3 of the 4 holes can be used (I might add another between the top and bottom ones on the left hand side of the...

    Jerry Can Mount

    Not quite that much but I definitely want some beefier support. I've got a heavy duty radio tray that came with the truck that was mounted up there. I've got a mind to make it a little larger to allow the jerry can holders to be mounted on to that and then just reinstall it. The graduated...

    Jerry Can Mount

    Right now I've got 4 jerry can holders mounted to the passenger rear fender. It works pretty well. They only overhang into the bed slightly. I've got them reinforced with a couple graduated layers of large fender washers but they still shake a bit more than I'd prefer. I'm going to be adding...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    I posted that almost 3 months ago in this thread. It will be ignored now like it was then.

    Soft top treatment

    I was recommended Vinylex by a local upholstery shop that also does convertible tops and boat tops/covers. They've been in business for 50+ years and that's what they use. Said regular treatment should prevent the material from dry rotting as is pretty common. Not sure if it offers any sort of...

    Fuel issues?

    Yep, as posted your tank is not venting and the fuel cap under vacuum is the exact sign of it. The troubleshooting flow chart in TM 9-2320-280-20-1 addresses this specifically. Had a problem with my tank not venting several months ago. Found a bunch of white sludge built up in the tank vent...

    Lockers for humvee ??

    No reason you shouldn't be able to use the units that are out there for the H1 to include Detroit Lockers, ARBs, Eatons, and Auburns. Detroit/Eaton/ARB/etc. Auburn Lockers Something to keep in mind, the pumpkin itself is essentially an AMC20 unit.

    Cooling fan issue..... maybe?

    This is a good idea. I've had good experiences with using CLR to flush cooling systems and it will remove all sorts of junk. Most recently on an '06 Caddy CTS that wasn't putting out any heat because of a clogged heater core. Added the CLR, ran it up to temp for 15 minutes with the heat on full...

    Deep water fording installation?

    That would make sense if it acted in a similar manner to the sensor cup where the water coming up into it runs into air in the tube and creates a slight pressure inside it.

    Finally Got a HMMWV for decent price.

    This somewhere in the cab is a good indicator!

    Cooling fan issue..... maybe?

    I'd verify the temperatures you're seeing are correct. These temp gauges can certainly be off but, the fan should definitely be cycling on and off, not running continuously. I would run through the troubleshooting flow chart in TM 9-2320-280-20-1 for the cooling system. It is section 2-164...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    That's actually really reasonable for a thermal imager, let alone a PTZ unit. Several years ago I paid about $1,300 for a mid-'90s vintage handheld/weapon mount AN/PAS-19, that's the size of an old school camcorder, and the resolution doesn't look anywhere near as good as that. What's the...

    12 volt winch on a 200 amp 24/12 generator

    I currently have a 12v Badlands winch on my truck with the dual voltage 200A alternator. It works but I haven't had to use it for any heavy winching yet. You've definitely got a couple options to power your 12v winches. The 12v side of the alternator is only 50A so adding extra batteries will...

    Underbody Protection Kit

    Yeah I tinkered with it a little more last night and got the thumbnail to show up after re-uploading it again. It does seem to be working now. Not sure what the issue was.

    Underbody Protection Kit

    That's strange... I click on it and it prompts me to download the PDF! :shrugs: Maybe someone on staff can check the message? I did have trouble uploading it and had to upload it to another site then use the URL link in the uploader to upload it. Norm, PM me your email address and I'll email...

    Need help with my M998 Heater

    I installed an MRAP heater in mine and did a detailed post on it. It sounds a lot like the one you're describing but it's a 24v unit. Details here. Keeps the truck nice and toasty!

    Underbody Protection Kit

    I recently picked up an underbody protection kit from a buddy of mine who has a couple but it didn't have the installation instructions so I checked online and found this thread but, couldn't find them anywhere. I messaged sermis a couple days ago about the PDF he said he had but haven't...

    EGT pyrometers what and where

    Considering the short distance, I'd be very surprised if there's any appreciable temp loss between the manifold and the crossover Y, especially with the exhaust wrap. The folks at the shop that welded in the bung for me didn't say anything about potential inaccuracy when I told them where I...
