Try starting with this thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?165048-Delco-24v-alternator-bracket-modification Some people have modified their mounting brackets to fit a 70A 24V Delco alternator (there's a PN for it in one of the posts about halfway down) in place of any of the...

What you're looking for is an "Optima" battery adapter, which are widely available if you do a quick search of that-I don't have a recommendation on any specific make of them. An appropriate group Optima is almost as expense as a brand new 6TL from Interstate Batteries, especially if you call...

Let me know if you need additional beer and additional redneck insight, should this be happening. I'm close enough that i'd want to see this thing go down.

Yes, when you do get your paperwork, make sure you make and keep copies of everything prior to handing your originals to anyone. I have electronic and paper copies of all my HMMWV-related docs. Due to one local horror story I had heard of a BMV (what they're called here in Indiana) attempting...

At the same time, I'd advise you to not commit to selling them until you actually have your HMMWV in-hand. I had considering either selling mine due to a lack of brush guard or buying a brush guard prior to delivery...glad I didn't, because the brush guard was in the back of my HMMWV, it just...

I was thinking more along the lines of enjoying the great outdoors, and in my near future (about to enter the closing period of my very own house within the next few hours), the garage.

I have a better idea...just hear me out... let's put a couch cushion in the back of actual HMMWV-which I hear we have a few of around here-and enjoy the real thing with some real style and redneck class. ...as a matter-of-fact, I think I might just go do that tonight...

I'd appreciate the photos as well, but I know that wire isn't supposed to be standard on HMMWVs other than an M997. I'm guessing that wire is probably tagged as either 467E or 467F? My biggest curiosity is if that wire was a single add-in, if they installed an M997 chassis harness as a...

That's a standard turbo doghouse. As I had just added into my post above, the radio decks don't actually mount to the doghouse itself. All you have to do is just get clearance over extra height. The radio decks are drilled with two sets of holes on its upper mounting brackets that attach to...

Yes, unless you're getting into the M1114s and other newer series, in which case they relocate the entire assembly slightly rearward and add in a special bracket for other equipment/gun mounts on armament carriers. Anything A1 and older should only be a difference of feet. This one shows the...

The difference is the feet. For the standard HMMWV, the feet are just large enough to bolt to the floor and to the radio deck support posts. For the turbo doghouse, you replace those feet with ones that are a tall "U" shape, which simply places the deck and posts up higher. Here's what they...

...how fast do you complete the shift?

I've also seen various mirror extension arms with the convex mirror on the end get mounted to the edge of the brush guard, if you have one installed. That way, you can see the entire side edge of the vehicle for tight navigation or for seeing that car hiding in your blind spot. Edit: Here's a...

I love the effort! Just make sure everything you're bringing down is requested and already has a place, otherwise, you'll unfortunately be burdening the responders on-site with having to figure out what to do with the supplies you bring. Please check out this article to read more about what...

The ripits are part of the authenticity of the experience. I couldn't commit to heavy smoking and chew, so I decided that I would drown in energy drinks and crack jokes about officers all day. But really, I am stockpiling the cans to deliberately clutter the HMMWV with, so that way if I decide...

As for what I did for my HMMWV lately... I spend this labor day weekend laboring under/over/beside/and occassionally inside my HMMWV, specially working further on that transmission wiring harness I've been assembling. I finalized the last couple of wires I needed to make, nicely laid them all...

Alright, I posted those promised pictures into the post above, so now I can tell you about the next step... As stated, I needed to secure the braid in-place so that it wouldn't slide around once installed and that it would be harder for anything to get trapped in the harness. I decided to make...

Cool pattern. I like the sharp points with the semi-gloss. You've probably got one of the first custom paint jobs that I like!

Wow, what a busy day (and morning, technically)! I've been working on the wiring harness for my transmission for two days solid. By far, this is the most progress I've had in any one stretch of time. I'm mobile, so I'm sure the pictures will be a jumbled lump at the end, so I'll just explain...

Removing that bolt for additional tilt is a pretty smart-sounding idea. I had some struggle with new V-belts on my HMMWV and I ultimately just used a technique that was similar to a bicycle shifting gears...starting with the inner-most band, I'd loop it around everything and get it set onto the...
