    Grommet

    Yes, super glue. If the ends are cut nice and flat to each other, 1 drop of super glue will do it.

    Grommet

    Any grommet of roughly the same size but a little larger will work. Take a razor and slice one side of the grommet then wrap it in the hole until it over laps, mark it and cut to size. When installing it put the cut on the bottom of the hole. Most hardware stores will have them.

    HMMWV Rock Sliders/ Rocker protection

    Initially I thought the same thing, then I went and actually learned about the product and checked them out more closely. It's not angle iron afaik. Angle iron is actually pretty flimsy and easily bent. As I understand it the material used it much stronger. Is there are reason your first...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Consider a preemptive strike, contact the HOA and file a complaint that someone is leaving litter and threatening notes on your legal, registered vehicle.

    Front springs needed, opinions on snow plow springs

    Interestingly the same part number for that spring is listed here https://www.hummerpartsguy.com/SPRING-FRONT-1728LB-SNOW-PLOW_p_123.html for a Snow Plow.

    wheel/tire options - budget minded?

    From what I found, link in my post above, no not all 2500 and 3500 wheels will work for several different reasons. Any stock size wheel typically isn't wide enough for suggested rim width for mounting tires that fit the HMMWV's. That is typically 37x12.50 tires. Also the Wheel offset and back...

    wheel/tire options - budget minded?

    Those in a 17" are too narrow for any available 37"+ tires that I can find. There are other stock Dodge wheels in 18x8 and 20x8 that can take available 37"+ tires. I've posted a lot of Tire and Wheel info here...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    I have been casually researching wheels and tires for a while. A recent health issue has me laid up in front of my computer. I'm not an expert on wheels and fitment but I did accumulate a fair amount of information on the topic. My criteria was pretty simple. 1. Maintain stock profile as much...

    wheel/tire options - budget minded?

    What is the rim width? I have been doing a lot of wheel research and later today I am posting in my build thread about wheels, offsets etc. I found some stock Dodge steel wheels as well. Do you know what year those are from? Thanks

    M-1026 Oil Leak At This Part

    The picture says "GovPlanet" on it. I'm guessing it is a picture he found online to represent what he was talking about and not an actual picture of his leak.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Well actually mine is a permanent hard top with a permanent rear wall. There aren't ever going to be back seats. The access will be for storage under the bed floor and access to the front of the bed area.

    wheel/tire options - budget minded?

    The issues I have been finding with wheels is the stock wheel offset is high. I have to do some measuring myself but it looks like +50mm (about 2"). With the 8.5" wide wheel that is about 6.25" back spacing. The Black Rhino wheels are +6mm (about .25"). With a 9.5" wide wheel that's about 5"...

    wheel/tire options - budget minded?

    I've been looking for options as well. Local tire place quoted me 5 (I have a spare) 17x9.5 steel wheels with Falken 37x12.5x17 tires for $2500. I don't like the look of the fancy style wheels myself, these are plain black wheels. The more I look, I think I would prefer the BFGoodrich...

    The horror

    It's a double edge sword, I hate they aren't selling them and recovering that money. Also, if they sell 100,000 of them, the states will have to listen to the people that want to register them. On the other hand, everyone they crush increases the value of mine although that isn't that...

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    One of the upcoming projects is renewing the fuel system. My gauge doesn't read correctly (common problem). The tank is stained and discolored badly, not a function issue. Some of the lines are marginal, etc. I don't like the idea of cutting into the bed to change the sending unit, not going...

    Fuel gauge troubleshooting

    I really like this option. I recently purchased a new fuel sender since my gauge doesn't work. At the same time I planned on replacing the fuel tank. The noticeable difference is the new style has a baffle around the sender. I think this one would be more likely to vary the gauge reading...

    Battery disconnect?

    Ok, then move the negative cable from the slave connector from the shunt block to the battery post (neg) and then install the switch in the negative battery cable. The end result would still be the same, the slave would be powered at all times and would not go through the battery switch.

    Battery disconnect?

    Take the positive lead from the slave connector and connect it to the positive terminal on the battery (+24v). Then the slave connector would not be effected by the battery switch. This means the switch would not be subjected to the load of the slave device.

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Today I added a Solargizer. I mounted it on top of the air intake. I like that it didn't require putting holes in the hood and routing the wire was shorter and cleaner. I mounted the control in the battery compartment. I used rivets, once painted they will blend in with the 300,000 other...

    Humvee doors what are these exactly

    They are from the Stealth HMMWV, very rare.
