    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Read a navy guide on DB2 & DB4 pumps. Something must be the key to the pump failure, somewhere... Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    As an Indiana boy, I'd love for this to happen. Columbus, OH is also just about as good, too... I'd just really love to see some of the field kitchen systems go this way instead of concentrating around Oklahoma. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    Aftermarket LED lighting for HMMWV

    Just gotta say, if you pay the premium to have actual DOT-rated, legal LEDs, you'll pay a lot for them...plus the company probably went to the effort to make them "omnivolt" to work in 12 or 24V systems. They still don't have to do that, so read the packaging and make sure they are rated for...

    Driving Hmmwv in snow

    Want more balanced braking? Be sure to load about 1 and 1/4 tons into the back before departing into the snow. But for real, most older trucks meant for hauling loads will have break inbalance issues and harsh rear suspensions until loaded up to about their rating. This is remedied by dynamic...

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    The worry is specifically because these are former MVs. There's a perception that the public should not have access to these, so any attention to them being dangerous to the operators or others is generally worrisome, no matter the actual outcome or justification. Sent from my SM-G530T using...

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    I have a similar policy in mind. At least for anyone riding in the troop seats. I plan get get a few skate helmets that have back- and side-of-head protection. 3-point belts, padded b-pillar, and high-back seats in the front should negate the necessity of it in the front seats, but I could be...

    HMMWV Rollover Crash, Indiana

    I was just browsing the news today and came across this: http://fox59.com/2018/02/04/2-women-die-after-humvee-crashes-into-river-in-southwest-indiana/ This was a privately-owned HMMWV, with two couples out doing night riding. They seem to have driven too close to the river embankment and...

    We've officially killed that "excellent deal" we had earlier on the glow plugs and gasket set. They're now $66 each and he suddenly has 90 more of them. Still a fair deal, but not the door buster of a few days ago! Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    Anyone added a "Mojave" heater to their Humvee ?

    Just make sure you buy a forest green pool noodle and peel the sticker off. If anyone asks why you have a pool noodle in your HMMWV, deny everything. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    Anyone added a "Mojave" heater to their Humvee ?

    This is more power draw than the typical 12V accessories run in these. I don't see any reason why this couldn't work if you were going to fab up your own brackets and controls, but be careful not to unbalance your batteries and cause premature failure of your batteries and/or alternator. A...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    When I found it last night, there were 30 and no special note with the listing. After I told you guys about it, it jumped and auto-mentioned: "7 sold last hour!" I had my Grinch grin on after that, knowing that I opened that flood gate. It turns out I had done business before with that...

    I believe AutoZone will only carry 12V models. Napa may be able to rush order the right glow plug in 24V, but I'm not sure. Still, the best price I've seen to-date on glow plugs has been at Erik's: http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/glplforhm12a.html The price is very similar at most places...

    They certainly do. The only changes start showing up when you start switching from NA to TD.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Hey, remember when we posted about that excellent tool set deal last year and everyone bought them to out of stock nearly overnight? I've got a deal to share with y'all today. A fellow on everyone's favorite forbidden auction side is listing an engine overhaul kit, NSN 2815-01-540-5593 for...

    Fire extinguisher recall of Kidde

    Got mine in a few days ago. They had streamlined it by the time mine arrived, as detailed instructions and a return shipping label were already in the box. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk

    HMMWV Boarding Ladder Options?

    Know what that model number is? That might help in searching for one. Also, the MRAP ladder does seem like a neat idea that I'll keep in mind if I see one for very cheap. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk
