    2018 Haspin Fall Mini-Rally

    Hey, you're all local, so this will be more relevant here: If anyone can lend me a HMMWV for next weekend (September 8th) or help me with a transmission rebuild THIS WEEK, I'd be greatly appreciative (parts on order). If you're working, I keep beer chilled in the fridge and I'll let you have a...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Wanted to wait until I had the pump on and had the chance to try it out to make sure it was worth the high praises... I got it installed last night and the engine primed fast and started quickly, then ran absolutely great. My original pump, prior to rebuild (when it still ran), didn't handle...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Injection pump install complete. It lives! https://youtu.be/Co1ArJ6VJTk Now, I really need some help. The transmission is dead and in need of rebuild. It held long enough to drive out of the garage, then slipped out and became unusable, forcing me to push the HMMWV back in manually (not a...

    Military antenna conversion to AM/FM car radio

    You're receive-only with a standard AM/FM radio, so you don't really have to worry much about impedance matching or the like...you just have to ensure that the antenna base doesn't have some kind of filter actively blocking out signals.

    2018 Haspin Fall Mini-Rally

    Option 2 and 3 are best for me, as my now-fiance, will-be wife, will be able to finally tag along and stay overnight. I can make option 1 work out, but it will only be me since she has an event going on that weekend. Option 4 is out-the-door, as I am hosting a camp out for a bunch of friendly...

    Newest project, Hmmwv in PA

    Those pumps look absolutely sexy when they come back from rebuild. I just got mine back on Friday and was absolutely stupefied at how nice they made my once rusty, bent piece of garbage look. It's halfway installed now, so I should know very soon how well it performs.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I was just installing my rebuilt injection pump last night and realized that my technique is a tiny bit different...and allows for recording it. It's a commonly known shortcut that you can just remove the oil fill tube and rotate the engine to remove the timing gear bolts one at a time, but...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I wish I had the time this weekend to install this puppy this weekend, alas, camping trip with my groomsmen. This rebuild looks absolutely phenomenal, and they really did a lot with a piece of trash for not a lot of money ($280, shipped both ways). At this point, I can only comment on...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Wow guys, why not lay off of him? He's put a good amount of work into putting together a nice HMMWV, and you guys are grilling him over using the common trademark for the vehicle and for some reasonable customizations to it. You're a wonderful wealth if information of helpfulness, but then...

    2018 Haspin rally, June 6th-10th, info/discussion thread

    Yeah, just as soon as my HMMWV is running! [emoji38] (But that actually should be soon. My injection pump is being professionally rebuilt and is due back this week. Hopefully that fixes all ailments.) Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Very cool look! For fancy wheels, those aren't priced too bad! I might get a set some day specifically for street use of a more economical tire. Still want to keep the 12/24 bolt 2 piece rims with run flats for any kind of rough stuff, though. Thanks for sharing! Sent from my Nokia 6.1...

    Surplus Auction for Humvees

    Well, there's a lot of factors here, most summarized by its exact model: It's an M1045A2, Marine Corps slantback configuration. It's "more awesome" than a regular HMMWV by being a weapon platform, has a deep water fording kit installed, the engine is the 6.5 by design, the transmission is a 4...

    Can't Find Info On My M998

    I would love to see this in-person some time. It's way to exciting and rare of a truck to just ignore, plus Indianapolis to Dayton isn't too bad of a drive and it's definitely a straight shot. Perhaps once I have mine running well, I can make that trip out there when it works for your schedule?

    Can't Find Info On My M998

    I'd like to know who you picked that up from, plus would also love to see some pictures of how that setup looks!

    TS 3991? What does this box do and does it need another piece of testing equipment?

    Of course, Brooke Clark would have the best lead on this that I could find. Check out this page: http://www.prc68.com/I/PRM34.shtml About halfway down, he's got a brief article on the TS-3991. "This is for testing the Steerable Null Processor Group OL-275/VRC."

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Started to tear down the top end of the engine again, but couldn't locate my 15mm deep well sockets post-move...so I didn't get very far. I've got a friend coming by tonight to help that has all the right tools. With some luck, we'll have the injection pump off and in the mail for tomorrow...

    Tire changing tools

    That kit comes with the torque multiplier, right? With that, I feel like there's not a single thing that can stop that impact tool...except maybe dead vehicle batteries.

    Stainless fasteners? Nice idea, but watch out for galvanic corrosion. If you've got an anti-seize on there that you reapply every time you remove those, you should be alright!

    HMMWV First aid kit

    Last placement I've seen is simply in the storage cavity under the driver seat, along with all of your papers and a flashlight. It all is allowed to move around in there freely, but if you have all the things in there that should be, there's really nowhere for them to move...
