I forgot that I even asked this. I ultimately bought a pair of the same part number, so I should probably do a fitment test and let you guys know if everything works out ok, for the future visitors here. Thanks to Juan for supplying the shouldered bolts to make their install possible!

You should be able to put a socket on the crankshaft just below the fan, at the front of the engine. I could turn it by hand with a standard 1/2" ratchet. That should give you smoother rotation and will give your assistant a better idea as they carefully watch each pulley for what is bent or...

Best wiring diagrams are found in TM-9-2320-387-24-2. They're early 2000s and cover M1113, M1114, M1151, M1152, M1165, and M1167 units. These are very high-quality, print-ready PDFs that you can actually read. The actual wiring schematics will be extremely similar for other HMMWVs and these...

Biggest universal advantage I can think of to the hard tops is security. If you put the hard doors on with locking handles and have a hard top, you can reasonably secure your vehicle from external intrustion. Otherwise, the pros and cons get to be more situational to your needs. I like that...

Very cool. That's exactly some of the stuff I was looking to add to my HMMWV in the future, but alas, I won't have the money to buy this off of you.

Great question. I wondered this myself, but never looked it up until now. The manual disagrees with you; however, I think practical experience is on your side. The attached page of the parts manual shows the rear curtain being attached to the inside edge of the cargo divider, but I don't...

I wish the reasoning was for factoring in shipping, but it's not. You're responsible for getting the vehichle to them and getting it back, AND you pay the huge fee for them "make it legal".

I started looking at an M1102 and an M101A3 trailer... looks like the A3 will probably come to me cheaper than the 1102 can, but the 1102 will go beautifully with my HMMWV. What do you guys think?

Depends on the ignition system. A lot of newer vehicles won't tolerate loss of a battery. In the first gen KLR 650 motorcycle, you could run without a battery without any issue via bump-starting or jump-starting. One the 2nd gen rolled out in 2008, bump-starting was lost because the load of...

I think he's using 2/0 gauge, since 2.0 is a really weird way to note wire gauge, so that tool won't quite be large enough to do it. I have been looking at a similar tool to knock out the 8 AWG cables I've been working with lately. Was trying to find a reasonable review off of one of the $25...

I'm going to highly suggest crimping cables like this instead of soldering. I believe in soldering through and through, but you just won't get the wire and connector to proper temperature to solder this correctly. (You may have electrical connection, but you're prone to cable stress and...

I also see he's flat-towing and there's no plates on anything... at least in Indiana, I'm certainly that wheels can't be on the ground for anything that's not registered and insured. That's why I paid a wrecker to pick up my HMMWV and drop it in my driveway.

I believe I saw different part numbers in the manual for this, but didn't realize the pipes might actually have been different...I'll take a second look to see if I come up with anything useful for you. It's definitely a neat pipe to see. EDIT: Found what I was looking for. It's unfortunately...

Great stuff. Thanks for showing your license plate setup...I think this is my favorite setup so far. Also, I've got a river area just like that down near my old home town in Indiana (Lawrenceburg). I was thinking to myself "this would be a great place to drive my HMMWV!" while I successfully...

Y'know...I really appreciate the note about the yellow dye fading out. I honestly that the blue seats I've been seeing around had something to do with the UN. rofl

I believe the manual's volume listed is also including what's needed in the cooling loop...I may be wrong, but I know the assessment of "fill it until it's to the hole" is actually correct, as long as you're parked level.

And whenever Juan finally runs out, I saw a fair price on them at Kascar a month or so ago. It's going to come out to be about the same price after delivery, so buy from Juan first.

Y'know, I was about to go out and get this tow package upgrade because it looked like a nice stopgap between stock and the airlift bumper; however, it looks like airlift bumpers are about to get a lot cheaper again... No comments about specific auctions or where, but there's probably 200 of...

For the record, I'm using the Swamp Donkey kit. The main part of it that I like is his research into the best LED bulb for the job...he found that the AlpineTech brand had the best balance of reliability, cost, brightness, and heat output. You can grab them on eBay in most colors for about...

I can speak to that! There is more to the deep water kit than just the obvious external components. In the HMMWV, you have the obvious extended intake and exhaust to provide a path for air to flow in and out without being submerged, but the HMMWV also presurrizes the driveline internally to...
