And one MPH in still water top speed... Might have to add an Evinrude to the rear deck, but still, VERY cool! BDGR

Between 27 and 28, the manual says 27.something, I can't recall the exact spec. The TM explains how to adjust the regulators (depends on which alternator/generator you have). The 60 amp regulator is a snap to adjust, in my experience. BDGR

Mine reads '96, since that is the year I graduated college. BDGR

Looking forward to seeing how you do it. Have had similar thoughts myself but got worried about the amount of mods needed. BDGR

My first impression was to kill the engine, but a diesel can keep going if it can pull hard enough on the fuel source and especially if it has an engine driven mechanical pump. Aim for a row of Prius' I guess... BDGR

Disconnect, clean and reconnect all electrical lines. Is your dash well-grounded? Have you a grounding kit? Bad ground causes a lot of troubles in these rigs. Bulldogger

If the replacement idler arm was a gen 1 M998A0 part, it could have easily blown out again. They are NOT robust. Definitely inspect your steering soonest. Easy way to see and diagnose issues is to put the front on jackstands and wag/wiggle the tires hard by hand while looking at the steering...

Welcome to the club! The steering play is a common fault, and almost certainly related to your drag link losing its grip on your right ball joint. I replaced my steering with H1/A1 components, to include the idler arm (all but the steering box itself), and am pleased with the improvements...

Maddawg308 had a lot of them for a good price a while back, he may still. Bulldogger

Welcome and congratulations! Looks like a good start. Most likely culprit for no start, if it's been sitting a while, is bad fuel and old fuel filter. Drain and refill tank and put a new filter in and see if that helps If you have no leaks on a Hmmwv, the first suspicion is that it's out of...

Interesting. It certainly doesn't look like it will part from the top/strip. Probably been together 32 years, I suppose that's why. I'll be sure to take a harder look at it the next time I have it off, which won't be soon since it's covered by snow right now. BDGR

My Aero Kroil is just plain Kroil now, for smoe reason the cans always lose pressure well before they run out of juice... Maybe it was just the lot my can was in. I've been meaning to get a pump bottle for it, but am worried it will eat through anything I use... BDGR

Sounds good. I'm curious to meet one up close and think about how to improve upon it. BDGR

I had the same problem with mine. I replaced my whole regulator, but want to replace the pot on the old one so it can sit in spare. If you figure our a good part number or specs for that pot, please share it here. BDGR

Welcome!

Dustoff, I painted some tan HMMWV doors coated with heavy factory paint to make them OD Green. It is NOT holding up well, and has crackled in many places especially the seams. I think your suspicion is correct, painting is going to be a learn-as-we-go. I would think CARC would be a similar...

I was typing that I haven't experience with ballistic nylon, but then I remembered I asked for samples a year ago. I've dug them out and find that the ballistic will fray if pinched and pulled at. It is not bad though, so I think if you fold and sew a 1/4" rollover it should hold up OK and it...

Wow, that's a good price. Please keep us posted as to fitment and your impressions of quality. A picture or two as well, if able. I never would have looked at AZ! BDGR

I'll PM the fabric info, since it would mean an active auction link. The waterproofing I have used is the spray on type, that looks like brush on. Probably better for a top that sits horizontal, but it would take a lot to cover. Read the coverage guidance for brush/roller and how many...

I have worked with Cordura quite a bit, having been making soft slant backs for over a year now. Yes, it responds well to adhesives, if a good solvent-based one is used. I have had good results with E6000, commonly available at craft stores, as well as Amazing Goop or it's siblings. Cordura...
