    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    1994 M1097A1 Green Beast is now running. She would just crank and crank after I installed the missing check valve and fuel line into the fuel filter cannister, was preparing to start loosening injectors but found an older thread by Tobash that the fuel injection system needs quite a bit to...

    Any Marines around?

    My recent acquisition 1994 M1097A1 out of Albany GA, looks like the Marines were getting the Army's ragged out, hand-me-downs to M12001, but the Marines weren't having it, they demanded a newer, A2 truck: Truck appears to have been an Avenger Missile Truck that was reissued to the Marines as a...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Bought 1994 M1097A1 (6.2l, TH400, NP242?) in October, EUC approved this month, picked up from Albany GA on 11 March. Had some rough parts but was recently pulled from preserved storage. She is starting to look respectable again. Just the curbside frame extension was damaged, look like they...

    Soften M1123 suspension

    For Nissan Armada SUV? Approx 207inches long, 79 inches wide, GVWR 6800-7100lbs, 9000lb tow capacity. The springs soften the road contours while the shock absorbers reduce the body bouncing on the springs. For about $130/pair I suppose it couldn't hurt to try, other than the physical effort...

    Anyone know where to get these clamps??

    They are PacTool (Performance Advantage Company) Clamps, available from the Mfg or your local Fire Department supply house, expensive though, You can probably get by with Quick Fist Clamps at 1/3 the price. PacTool does mold that Pioneer Tool Tray style clamp in a Coyote Tan now...

    ON BOARD AIR?

    There is another Thomas compressor nearly identical to the above 24v but in 12v, which are under $500 new, if you have the dual voltage alternator you can power it but only use the air when the engine is running, or wire it direct to the single battery.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    There is a near identical Thomas DC air compressor in 12v for under $500 each, if you have the dual voltage generator, but you will only be able to run air when the engine is running, or wire it direct to one battery for offline use.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    The SOCOM GMVs have a few different on board air set ups. Some GMVs have a separate Hummer H1-style air compressor shelf bolted to the front, driver's side cowl. Others move the windshield washer reservoir inboard to make room on the cowl for the Thomas 24v TA-4101-DC air compressor in the...

    Windshield Frame

    There is a backer plate with threaded inserts that pop rivets to the windshield frame, that the turret Weapons Support leg brackets bolt to. Greg 86HMW makes a direct copy of them.

    I have a 94 M1097A1 in Albany for which the EUC should clear any day now. That one, I'm not sure if I am going to drop the 6.5l GEP-T/4L80E/NP242 and hard top/turret kit on it or just throw a 4 man rag top and doors to flip with a title real quick. I want to use my keeper truck for youth...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    There is a Fox mfg remote reservoir nitrogen-charged shock similar to the Rod Hall product at about 1/4 the cost. There are probably 4-5 different front spring types and 4 maybe 6 rear spring types.

    Santa, I'm South of you in Navarre, got two original M1025A2 GMV variants, and waiting on EUC on a 1994 M1097A1 sitting in Albany, GA. I've got the 6.5l HMMWV engine sling and other specialized tools, etc. The Dixie Division Military Vehicles Club out of Alabama is the closest club that has...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    The good news is, A0-A1 body and engine harnesses are still fairly cheap, and easier to totally replace than a civilian automobile., if you want to just get rid of your electrical system gremlins the fast way.

    HMMWV CARGO EXTENSION KIT ON 4 MAN HARD TOP

    The vinyl wraps overtop the C Pillar cross tube, with slots cut for the 3 bolt/bushing assemblies, under the tin roof. There was a rubber seal that went between the C Pillar and the tin roof, so a strip of closed cell foam between the vinyl cover and the tin roof would not be out of the...
