    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Also in those pictures is my VIC3 installation with each seat having a FFCS and the MCS. I also installed two of the bluetooth adaptors so we can communicate on two cell phones, depending upon the MCS setup. If you look closely, I built hangers for each of the head sets. not perfect but it makes...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Nice. For me the rear door gap is caused by how the door is aligned with the hinges. If done correctly, the should not be a gap at the top. Well, no more of a gap than elsewhere. When I drilled my door hinges, I lacked that information. The door is a bit high and I have a slight gap at the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I use washers on both sides and everything is metal primed and then surface painted. but yeah, my truck is a battery. my adds are stainless, then the existing bolts are anodized steel, there are some chromium plated bolts, and then steel plates, different types of AL, brackets, etc.

    I just used stainless bolts and nuts. Lot of them. I think it gives the truck a rugged finished look.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    wow, i had no idea there was this thread. thank you so much for this. A lot of reading i am doing. qq It appears in the law that the FMV is a vehicle at least 25yrs old. Am i understanding correctly that newer vehicles like an 1151 would not qualify for the mode (FMV)?

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    That is awesome. i checked on how close you are to my location, +200mi. a bit too far at this point. General question for folks in Texas with vehicles. I am still waiting for my title (so far, +2.8months in). I noticed no license plates. how does that work? Full transparency, i have driven...

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    That is what I did. The problem was strong warm wind would cure the paint before I could tip. Probably needed to thin it more. But for me, it is good enough

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    finally got my Vic-3 four ffcs stations installed along with dual bluetooth (plugged into A and B radio ports). I know the ffcs with four is overkill for a hmmwv but i could so i did. mounted each one within easy access to each seat, and with dual bluetooth, can have two cell phones connected...

    VIC-3 Intercom system - want to integrate cell phone into vic-3 system? what is the voodoo magic interface

    Oh also, those bluetooth adapters from Augi? they work exactly. perfect for this type of installation. I am gonna make a new box that will enclose them both, because i can and want to. otherwise they are gtg. I think he has more of them. if you want to use your vic-1 or vic-3 with bluetooth...

    VIC-3 Intercom system - want to integrate cell phone into vic-3 system? what is the voodoo magic interface

    FInally finished my phase one of the VIC-3 installation with dual bluetooth adapters from #augi I used four of the ffcs with the mcs. since the hmmwv was not designed for four ffcs, i had to figure out where and how to mount them. after thinking about it for several weeks and trying different...

    Securing a HMMWV

    Got the dawg installed today. I like it but they should fix some issues. The good: 1) in manual mode you have to push the fob button to enable the run/start switch. Excellent 2) after you turn off the engine, 30 seconds later and it disables the run/start. 3) totally simple. 4) their...
