    M998 Repair and Renovation Northern Virginia-Newbie Please Help

    Welcome! Best to start with the Technical Manuals, there is a wealth of information therein. They are dry, and at times hard to understand, based on the way they are written, but eventually with enough staring they make sense...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    VHF requires a Ham Technician license at the very least. My fiancée has hers and I plan to get mine since I went ahead and bought the radio already. Tests are given locally by enthusiasts registered w FCC http://www.arrl.org/getting-licensed Bulldogger

    Double polished marine vinyl works well. Usually can be ordered online. Up to you to figure best way to sew it in. Bdgr

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The cup holders are off Amazon, search for Amarine stainless 2-pack and you should find them. They appear durable though they don’t stay folded well (too tight or too loose). I hope to remix mix the two items I chose Sunday eve and print overnight. I’m using this file and adding a coin holder...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Installed folding steel cup holders, cell phone mount and put some grommets into the new floor insulation to act as drains. Almost ready for the drive to Graves Mountain. And in case I hadn’t updated on it, the 28v battery charger and power supply for the Clansman PRC352 vhf radio is mounted...

    Welcome from Alexandria! I second the invitation to Graves Mountain. Come for one day or five. Great chance to meet fellow enthusiasts and lots of cool vehicles. Plenty of opportunity for rides and some might let you drive one too. Bulldogger

    Thanks Ahab. I'm self taught. I started sewing this heavy stuff a couple years ago when I began making soft slant backs. As to the fit, I feel more than a bit lucky. I'm not always so successful. Time will tell, as the fabric may shrink and cause issues yet. It was a royal PITA though, so I...

    Made new insulation panels for the passenger side. Still have to do the driver side ones. Lots of work cutting and sewing. Not something I want to do again soon! Made from ballistic nylon and some plastic insulation gleaned from an old swimming pool cover. Bulldogger

    Radio mount Mounted the Clansman PRC-352. Had to make a bracket to mount the in-vehicle carrier for the manpack. This radio isn’t the model meant for vehicle use, but I wanted to be able to carry it, so this rig seemed best. Still need to mount the power supply and convert the loudspeaker I...

    Brake light on, locks up rears

    The brake light on the dash or rear brake lights? It sounds like you mean the dash light. I'm only familiar with the M998, and the M1025A2 might be different but if it's the dash light it means the parking brake is engaged... Your mention of rear brake issues makes it also sound like the...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    If water pressure from the car wash will stop the fan the fan clutch is not engaging. So you have other problems. Sounds like you need to double check the plumbing of the high pressure hoses to and from the pump, fan and cadillac valve. It's a common mistake to get the hoses backwards or...

    Graves Mountain Rally August 29-September 2, 2019

    Mike (maddawg308), do you still have any of those HMMWV jacks left? Daves86 could use one. If he doesn't make Graves Mtn I can pick one up for him. To all interested, I can bring soft slant back kits (bearing in mind I have sold near all my stock and am making more) to the Rally for the swap...

    Looking good! (If I do say so myself.) We are still in production. Cordura and Ballistic nylon are all in stock and being cut and sewn. A tan cover made of 1000D Cordura is in stock (need to make a frame for it, as that one was sold to RedDriver). 1000D Tan and OD Green cordura are in...

    Graves Mountain Rally August 29-September 2, 2019

    Cool! My radio was shipped today, and is supposed to arrive within a week. I will post details once I receive and mount it. Looking forward to this year's rally and have been plugging it locally. Bulldogger

    Graves Mountain Rally August 29-September 2, 2019

    Anyone coming to the Rally this year have a VHF setup? I just bought a Clansman PRC-352 setup and am interested in practicing my radio skills. It's been 20 years since I used VHF in service. We'll stick above 50MHz in the open Ham sector. And yes, one of us has a technician license. If...

    Scammers trolling our site.

    Scammers have technology to pump their phone call through the internet and arrive via a local open number, making caller ID think it's a local call. The FCC is cracking down on it after China started calling every man woman and child in the U.S. to try to get our CC numbers. If those callers...

    Any clue on the correct designation for the LED version of these? I have tried searching, but those two numbers do not seem to have LED equivalents listed. Bulldogger

    Hard top

    Sales are also varied in terms of timing. I suppose this is in part due to the limited market and limited number of ways to reach potential customers. I only offer soft slant back kits here, mostly because eBay is all else I can think of and their policies are not pro-seller, if you take my...
