If you take your time to get a good unit from the auction its really a fun vehicle to putz around in.
Just add 15 minutes to any trip because someone will stop and want to talk to you about it.
If you need it to be able to travel on the freeway, spend the extra money to get one with the...
Lots of crazy conjecture in this thread.
The HMMWV was designed to replace the MUTT, and the CUCV.
The MUTT was great offroad, but couldn't carry much and had a dangerous rollover propensity.
In order to carry the 1 1/4 ton load of the CUCV it would have had to have a really high center of...
Ive used rapco for years. The carc substitute green and brown seem to be a perfect match. The black, though, is not flat enough in my opinion. I found that rustoleum camo ultra flat black is perfect for the black areas
Yeah, it seems like one style is older and discontinued in favor of the newer style direct replacement as they are for the same application.
I looked at Kascar's website...it only has pics of rounded corners. It does list one tan one as "new style" but shows same stock photo. I am not sure which...
My first time messing with an LMTV was in a storage lot trying to see if it would start. There just happened to be a mobile diesel mechanic there working on someone else's semi that had come over to check out the cool army truck. He explained how the system worked like a common rail through the...
My understanding is what Will said. There is no cracking of lines to bleed air like many diesels. You pump the primer pump to fill both filters and the fuel goes into the gallery in the head and back through the pressure regulator and returns to the tank pushing any air in front of it. I think...
did a little digging...round mirrors are mfr 34419.

square mirror is mfr 3Y036.

Looks like they are now owned by rosco
I looked too. It looks to be a limited run (1000?) for a mil contract or something. If that's the case, there should be some floating around out there somewhere.
If not, its information for someone to fab up for themselves.

Stumbled across this today. Looks like a great design. Well thought out.
Did you get to see the broken shaft?
Im trying to think why if you tried using the Brake/Throttle Modulation technique that the drivers side tire wouldn't turn while in High Lock?
Unless the drive flange broke at the splines, or you weren't in High Lock when attempting BTM
And like the other...
MLC= Main Land China! Just kidding.
Ive seen two types of large GI mirrors. The rounded style, and the square style.
They always have the NSN molded on the backside.
The rounded style(older?) are the most common. And ive only seen them molded in green plastic with matching green plastic upper...
I put LEDs in the dash. Big improvement. Went to put one in the turn switch indicator...it doesn't work there. Tried three different styles of bulb...no go.
Im starting to think that because its wired in such a way that its on when the flasher switches to off and consequently doesn't have the...
You gotta be a special kind of stupid to roll a HMMWV.
Save the safety spiels as theres nothing safe about the interior of these rigs
Just get an aftermarket rear seat for a Jeep CJ or YJ. Bestop, or rugged ridge are pretty common worldwide. They should fit. Not much headroom, though. But its...
