    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Thanks. I've already got a set. The only problem is that they're camo color.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got the 2-man soft top installed on my M1114 today. Next step, soft doors.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I've been Frankensteining parts from other trucks onto my M1114. So far the windshield, snorkel and tailgate are from a M1123 and the rear door blanks and soon to be mounted 2-man soft top are from a M1097. Still need to deal with the swiss cheese holes in the frame and I need to source...

    Quick ? on sway with U haul style trailer

    Is your trailer wide enough? I've found that all U-Haul trailers and tow dollies are too narrow to tow a HMMWV.

    HMMWV serial/vin #

    The serial number is only stamped on the data plate. Most of the time the data plate is in the door jamb, but depending on the series of truck, they can be elsewhere. My M1114 has the data plate mounted to the driver's side of the dashboard.

    Newb question-winches

    My M1114 has a rear winch tucked up under the rear bumper. Maybe you can find a takeoff unit from a parts truck.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I will be attempting to get diesel for my HMMWV after work. Gonna need it to haul my generator around the property if/when we lose power. Rumor has it, gas stations are running out of fuel due to the approaching storm.

    Why is my M1008 floor getting so hot?

    If your exhaust manifolds are rusty, they could crack and fail, which would generate a ton of heat.

    Tailgate Hinges

    Yeah, I followed the previous instructions and got the tailgate off without much fuss. The only problem was one side had short bolts and the other side was longer, necessitating a deep socket to grab the nut. Next step is to remove the muffler. TM's say I'll need to disconnect the driveline.

    C-Washer in Electrical Connector?

    Thank you. That thread is what I've been looking for. Now I've have to wait for this hurricane to pass before I can work on my truck again.

    C-Washer in Electrical Connector?

    Hi all, I was troubleshooting my parking brake warning light late last night, and disconnected the parking brake warning switch under my HMMWV. Like all HMMWV's it has those single wire waterproof electrical connectors. When I pulled one apart a small brass looking c-washer fell out and...

    Gov Planet HMMWV Refugee

    More like 2 months to clear if it was a Marines truck. I just got a parts M1123 also with the intake manifold removed and that's how long it took.

    3L80 and yes, but not in the civilian HMMWV. There's an external cooler at the radiator.

    GovPlanet HMMWV without serial number

    Might only be good for parts. I wouldn't want to deal with the titling nightmare. Buy it with a bill of sale only and avoid the SF-97 nightmare.

    Tailgate Hinges

    How do you get around the body bushing to reach the nut? Any special technique?

    Tailgate Hinges

    The tailgate currently has shims so it probably wouldn't need to be flush, but I agree I wouldn't be as structurally sturdy. If I can get to the third bolt to remove it, I should be able to put it back on so that's what I'll do. Thanks for your help.

    Tailgate Hinges

    Okay, thanks. Once I get it off it may be a good time to test my rivnut tool and make it easier to replace in the future.
