It's just spring tension from the number plates that hold it in place. The half-moon piece has slight depression at the pins that prevent it from sliding off.

Here's a picture of my number location.

I completed the LED conversion. I replaced all bulbs with LED's in the Turn, Marker, Stop and Running lights. I think the regular incandescent bulbs are brighter in general but not enough to matter. I feel the benefits of the LED's outweigh the brightness. I also changed the headlights to...

Today the project was to change the pitman arm. First remove the two nuts, the castle nut on the pitman arm to steering link ball joint and the pitman arm to steering box. That was easy. Next, using a puller separate the pitman arm ball joint from the steering link. No way, no how. I have a...

I think you need to start by finding someone in your elected government that sides with you. There is some good info in this thread ... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?184699-HMMWV-Bill-in-Washington-State-Testimony-help-needed including the fact that the military vehicles are...

Tonight I test fitted the drivers seat. I like the way it came out. It's still a tight fit for me but not much worse than the original seat. Overall once in there is a little more room than the original. The back of the seat is all the way against the cab and the shelf behind the seat...

I picked up a pair of Subaru seats today. I think they are heated seats so that might be a bonus in the winter. I also ordered a heavy duty pitman arm. Should be here tomorrow. I think there is going to be a rear window in the cab in my near future.

I believe that is what I already have for a passenger seat. In looking at those seats they seem to be very expensive. I found 2 Subaru seats locally for about $100. I'm not really interested in the authenticity of the seats. If It was $100, I'd give it a try. For $500+ I'm going to pass.

When I was messing with all the lights and troubleshooting I noticed a box hanging under the dash. I didn't bother with it much yesterday since it wasn't what I was working on. This morning I decided to check it out and it was a solid state flasher unit. I went looking for it's original...

Yes, I live in Augusta.

I also got a chance to examine the entire steering system today looking for my 3" side to side play. I check all the universals in the steering column and they looked good (expected that). I crawled under the truck and the idler arm is all new and solid. The tie rods ends seem solid also...

I found a complete set of nos lights on the auction for less than $200 shipped. I thought that was a pretty reasonable deal considering mine were mostly original and rusted and corroded inside. Since this is my first (hopefully my last) Humvee and I am not real familiar with the electrical...

Thanks for the suggestion but I actually bought this to use as a truck. Hopefully replacing my 97 F350. When I was looking they all seemed to be soft tops and I really wasn't looking forward to a soft top in the winter plowing my driveway. I came across a hard top the guy called an Avenger...

While looking over the truck today I came across a tag on the interior back cabin wall. Thought I would post it to confirm it is an Avenger. Although I covered a couple numbers they are matching Serial Numbers.

I was joking with a buddy of mine, I said we need to build a truck cap with a mock Avenger missile launcher on it. PVC missiles that launch out like the old fake guns that had a flag that said "Bang" on them. Put "Bang", "Pow" and "Boom" on them. It was a fleeting though after I thought...

I am not an expert on this subject. I have done a little reading. If you would like to know more about them I would suggest doing some research and not relying on anything I say. However based on a quick search and a result from Wikipedia here is a quote from that page. Source...

It originally had a Stinger Missile launcher on it as in the picture attached in the second post. Based on my research and what I was told by the previous owner they were called "Avenger's". I don't believe it was an official classification of vehicle but you can find many official video's...

My plunger is all the way to the top and doesn't seem to want to move at all. The reset button doesn't do anything. I'll have to investigate more. I assume, based on your reply, the red line/plunger should be at the bottom of the gauge/cylinder when operating normally. Great, thanks I feel...

The prior owner did all the maintenance and fluids and kept it in good care. The idler arm was already replaced and he gave me some paper work on something he called a steering gear. I will have to look into what exactly he had done. Prior to him it was in a collection of private Humvee's for...

I have a couple of questions. My air filter meter has a red line at the top of the gauge, I believe it says "20in". So I am wondering if that is good or bad? The reset button doesn't seem to do anything. I don't know if it even works. Any suggestions would be helpful. When I start the...
