    M1101 with troop carrier seats

    I actually have all the brackets from a M37 to setup troop seats in my M101A2 I just haven't gotten around to it. Mark

    I can see it for parades or running support at a boy scout jamboree or something like that but that's about it. Mark

    H1 tail light buckets on Hmmwv?

    For LED bulbs and blinker issues they can now be had with a resistor in the bulb base. Much better choice then wiring in resistors (ugly) to give a load to the blinker controller (Anti hyper flash). I used these types of bulbs on my motorcycle for a clean install. You'll pay more but it's a...

    Towing a dead M1083 with M1079

    I personally think someone is building a fort out of the doors. Nothing else makes sense. Mark

    Good deal. Luckily you only had one snap off. Hope you used never seize on the new threads. Mark

    How to create a ground plane

    Then you don't know what you're talking about. LOL That's a lot of gear to go in the truck. Where are you going to mount it all? I would love to put a AN/GRC-106 setup in mine but I have an old Kenwood 520S that would fit nicely on the radio shelf and it's a good working unit. A Clansman...

    Oil filter

    I use the wix 51061 for my M998 6.5L. I'm a big fan of Wix and Hasting/Baldwin. Just about everyone here uses Rotella 15/40 T4 (dino) motor oil. Mark

    M1101/1102 modification

    Putting a two foot Cantilevered extension on the bed will cause a number of issues. The center of gravity will move aft which will take weight off the pintle depending on how much weight is in the redesigned bed. It also comes down to the weight of the towing vechicle to deal with the...

    current Rhino/Rico spare tire carrier value?

    I've purchased a number of items from Beltfed and never had any issues and the service is top shelf. I just can't believe how much parts cost has increased in the last few years. Like everything else I guess. Mark

    HMMWV Control Box issue - temperature affects starter engaging

    I've started my truck at 10 degrees F and it starts fine. If I would be starting her much lower I would get a block heater. Below are the type of units I would routinely use for cold winters in NH. So easy to install Mark

    Glow plug change-out "disaster"...

    If you have not dropped the tip into the precup I put a cotton ball in the bottom of the precup via the fuel injector hole to catch the tip. With the aid of some custom modified needle nose pliers I was able to remove the tip with great effort. The hardest one I found was the drivers rear due...

    Adding 2” receiver hitch to HMMWV and hit a snag

    How close are you? How many of those big washers are on the shaft? If you must you can drill a new cotter pin hole on the shaft where you need it 90 degrees perpendicular to the stock hole. What grade bolts are you using on the plate? They must be grade eight or metric 10.9. I have the same...

    HMMWV glow plugs

    Be sure to test the system on the first start after replacing the plugs. I ran mine for one minute not knowing I had a stuck relay in the box and fried the brand new glow plugs. Don't let that happen to you. Mark

    HOW TO ADD 12v CIGAR LIGHTER TO HMMWV

    My 100A alternator doesn't have a 12v tap so I am running a 24v to 12v 60A waterproof converter mounted under the hood. If you are just needing 12V for a USB charger or something else low power you can tap off one of the batteries but I would suggest using the power and ground off the same...
