    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2017 - Feburary VOTE HERE!

    Well . . . a little late - but I just got done giving her a fresh coat of paint inside and out. Looks like a different truck.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So - over the past month I decided to deconstruct the interior, do some cleaning up, soundproofing, and then repaint. Stripped down the interior, all seats, insulation, heater core, seat belts, windshields, etc. removed all stickers and backing glue. 2 coats of LizardSkin on the interior and...

    Console / Stereo Installation?

    Chief_919 - any pictures of that setup? I thought about using ammo cans - but am looking for pictures of a good setup. Ideally - I'd like to get a box big enough for something like that Boss BT receiver, a couple of reasonably-sized speakers, a small locking Glovebox , plus a phone charger /...

    CV boot on HMMWV

    Easier to replace the entire half shaft. Do a search - been asked and answered many times. Heres a start: http://hummer-hmmwv.tpub.com/TM-9-2320-387-24-1/css/TM-9-2320-387-24-1_926.htm

    Console / Stereo Installation?

    $1050 - plus the auction fee? That's insane. Time to get to work fabricating something . . .

    Console / Stereo Installation?

    I'm wrapping up getting my HMMWV back together - and am looking at trying to install a stereo and speakers (likely just a bluetooth receiver - not complete stereo). I was going to install a bluetooth receiver in a gauge pod - but saw pictures of this from Midwest Military. It would solve my...

    Windshield adhesive / sealant

    It's TM 2320-280-20-3. You can't apply sealant to the "glass" and the metal frame because the window goes in a rubber gasket. All I'm really trying to figure out is what to use. Just RTV?

    Windshield adhesive / sealant

    I'm reinstalling my windshields today - and am wondering what type of adhesive to use between the rubber windshield gasket and metal window frame. Is it just RTV? i know standard windshield installs call for urethane (glass-to-metal) - but here it's not adhering to glass - just the rubber...

    Let's talk about HMMWV paint

    I just repainted my HMMWV (inside and out) with the Rapco product (Gillespie Paints). I took a quick pic - right after I sprayed the flat black - which was only a couple hours after spraying the 383 green. The colors are still flattening out a bit - and I'll probably take more pictures this...

    Heater boot source?

    I'm trying to find a replacement heater boot and those ****ed plastic clips that attach it to the heater box. Anyone seen them anywhere for sale? I'm exhausted looking - and would hate to put this thing back together with a ripped boot. Thx -D

    Half Doors on IP

    I exchanged emails with a guy from Plan B about those doors. I figured they were Plan B product because of the location and look of the doors. His explanation / response to me was that they are likely Plan B's "gen 1" doors - made with 1/4 Aluminum. According to them, there were some changes...

    Cleaning?

    Just took all of the mats / insulation out of my HMMWV except for the front passenger side. That requires removing the heater - which is on my to-do list tonight . . . . The screw-down retainer bars are along the tunnel and at the foot of the two front seats.

    Headset option?

    Anyone have any experience with these? http://ucleardigital.com/shop/helmet-audio/outdoor/anywhere-headsets/ - seems like a decent low-priced headset option - all Bluetooth communication - up to 4 people and can also use phone / music.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thanks. I just made an exposure correction and a little slide on the color bar. Here's the original picture - I was trying to get rid of the shadows.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Swapped out a halfshaft, adjusted the brake light switch, and replaced the weatherstripping at the windshield - then took it for a ride to the lake - now that the Northern California rains have subsided for a few days.
