    Bringing back to life a 2009 HMMWV M1165A1 from GovPlanet - total newbie, please help...

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    If these parts have been de-mill'd you might want to verify that reproduction of parts isn't an ITAR violation. We are ITAR certified and I know we are not allowed to make gun mounts, etc.

    6L80 in my M998

    As a suggestion, think the flat bar should have at least one gusset? If not two?

    6L80 in my M998

    "Ya pretty typical they just have the engineers write the documentation. So CLEARLY you must have the same knowledge as the people who spec'd or built it.." That's called the "Curse of Knowledge". We see it in manufacturing sometimes when a highly skilled fabricator or machinist explains...

    M35 rocker panel repair

    Okay, finally made it back to this. I've updated the drawing and will run another sample. I think I have all the information on the associated parts but will have to verify.

    M1123 - Ragged armor holes on top of rear fenders

    Another option would be using an adhesive with a neatly cut out .040" (or so) aluminum patches covering each area. If you are spraying it with bed liner I'd think the patch would pretty much disappear as you're putting a textured top coat. A local auto paint store should have such a product.

    Auto Part Store CV Axles OK?

    Only issue I had was after test run I noticed some grease around the large end of the outside boot. The metal strap wasn't tight enough. I used a large zip tie over the original clamp and hossed it down tight. Next day it went 170 miles without issue. Problem solved. Will see if I can...

    Auto Part Store CV Axles OK?

    I had a torn cv boot on my DS front shaft. My first thought was to replace the boots. After removing the shaft I noticed wear groves were pretty deep from the geared hub seal. Looked to be original shaft. I went with a AZ shaft for these reasons: 1) I put off fixing boot issue until the last...

    We did our last official ride for the year. Fall foliage tour to World's End State Park, PA. 4 of us went, 8am departure and were back home at 4:30. We did 170 miles and had a picnic lunch. Was raining at 7 am but stopped before we left and there were only a few sprinkles of rain throughout...
