    60 Minutes has a story of military vehicle accidents. Tonight NOW west coast.

    Here is my thoughts on the subject. When I was looking to buy and finally bought my HMMWV I knew up front it was not as safe as a modern vehicle. That is a given with no air bags, anti-lock brakes, soft top, soft doors etc. Was I concerned? Yes and no. I grew up riding motorcycles on and...

    VIC1 Intercom 4 Man Setup

    I agree a headset system is a "must have". Cheaper options out there than the VIC-1 like your Dave Clark setup or even some two-way radios with headsets would be a cheap option. IMO those more modern options would probably be better as far as function and less hassle that comes with putting...

    VIC-1 light not on? Here is the bulb you need

    For those with VIC-1 systems and the bulb on your main control unit is not working this is the bulb you need. Might not fix it if there are other issues but it is a starting point. #327 LED Replacement Bulb | 28-Volt DC | Bi-Polar Contacts | Midget Flanged Base | Replaces Filament Bulb Numbers...

    Help with my RT-524 install

    Alright guys I am new to this radio stuff and need a little help. I have searched but still a little confused. I have the RT524 I am hooking up in my M998. I have the shelf, tray and radio. I have a coax cable and mic. The antenna is a AS 3900. I know that is probably not the preferred...

    M998 MARKINGS

    Like others have said, it is impossible to buy direct from the government as an individual. I also have had a few people tell me they "know a guy" that is in XYZ branch and he said he could get them on direct. I never knew there were so many people that act like they know so much about the...

    Smart Start Box, Glow Plugs, Sensor question

    If you guys saw my first post I am having start issues. I am strongly considering going to one of the manual start box setups from Camotechsystems. Any you guys have any experience with this setup? Thoughts? To me, it seems like a simple solution for a known issue with the HMMWV system. The...

    Smart Start Box, Glow Plugs, Sensor question

    Alright, guys had a couple of questions and needing some advice. MY M998 6.2 (Prestolite Box, Wellman glow plugs) was smoking on start up and was showing no glow plug activity on the volt gauge. I had the glow plugs switched out and all seemed normal and was operating as it should for a few...

    Humvee Engine Knocking (yes it's actual knocking, probably)

    Congrats on the new truck. I am also new to the HMMWV world but have learned a lot in a short amount of time. Like others have said I would change out all the fluids, fill it with fresh fuel add a bottle of Diesel Kleen with the new fuel. Spindle nut and tab service is a must-do. You do NOT...

    A2 Steering wheel

    Finally got rid of that crappy skinny 998 steering wheel. Can't say enough about MAC Motors and their great price and crazy fast shipping. If you are new to HMMWV this should be at the top of your list of mods after it is up and running safely.

    Humvee military antenna for Ham Radio use

    Not sure what you are trying to accomplish with the HAM setup but I will give you my thoughts and my setup. I also dont know what kind of radio you have. I wanted the modern convenience of a modern HAM radio but didn't want to take away from the look of the military. I went with a very small one...

    DIY Ground Harness (look correct? )

    Pretty sure all the pre made kits use a similar wire setup. I am not saying you are not correct just going by what I have seen.
