    Are "HMMWVS hand made"

    Hand made by Keebler Elves inside a big tree. :/ 500,000 plus handmade war vehicles. LOL

    skinny grease gun tips

    Just get a long flexible tip. IMHO

    Warn electric winch installation questions.

    So do I need to install as two separate parts?

    Faint clicking ticking sound when stopping

    Might this be the PCB? Some tick for a while after starting IIRC

    My new 1992 M998 Avenger

    Nice work(!), but why not just make it out of hard rubber or plastic or fiberglass or bondo. Easier to shape and form and machine and still will last a lifetime. IMHO

    Jack rail/rock slider question

    Saran wrap between the two, or some such barrier should be fine for like 30 years. So would rhino liner.

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    Currently EMP is a side effect of thermonuclear reactions. Whereas the EMP would not likely result in morbidity and mortality, the accompanying ionizing radiation would be. The light would be blinding and burning. The gamma radiation would be lethal. The concussive wave and rebound wave would be...

    Warn electric winch installation questions.

    Thank you. Now I just need to confirm whether or not I need to use a jack to lift it into position.

    Warn electric winch installation questions.

    Tried to install while attached to front number plate and she won’t fit. Might I assume I need to install the darned winch after installing the front plate? Also, I have the old style plate. Does the slot for the wire go upwards or downwards? Does the remote control box go on the drivers’ or...

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    We HMMWV owners have electric alternators that are unshielded and electric fuel pumps that are essentially unshielded so even though these are diesel engines with mechanical pumps, there are electronics that would be destroyed. Furthermore, if you were in the way of EMP, that would mean that you...

    EMP Proofing HMMWV

    Just store the HMMWV underground in your fallout shelter. Make sure to incorporate a Faraday Cage in your shelter design. Don’t forget food, potable water, and air filtration system that will filter out the radioactive ashes of your neighbors and friends. 🤨

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    While it is not hard to do, I’m not sure I would trust it to carry the weight of the truck while suspended from a helo.

    What size is the crown nut holding the pintle?

    Thanks one and all. I appreciate all the feedback as I was unsure about TM having this info. RWH, I thank you for the idea about the pipe wrench. I’m like you, but about tools. You usually say when you need a part get the proper part. I usually say when you need a tool, get the proper tool...

    RIM CHANGEOUT (Paired 24 Stud) with Run-Flats

    Just get centrimatics!!! Also, don't just believe the mechanic... measure the tire and rim for out of round yourself

    RIM CHANGEOUT (Paired 24 Stud) with Run-Flats

    Mod Mafia is selling rims that are wide and can lead to spindle loosening and failure. They are not the proper footprint. If you want Hutchinson rims, might I suggest E-bay? Mod Mafia as a whole is overpriced and arrogant. In a year or so they will be selling reproduction H1 2 piece Hutchinson...

    RIM CHANGEOUT (Paired 24 Stud) with Run-Flats

    RunFlats save lives. You don't need to remove runflats to change rims. I agree that rotating the tire 180 degrees on the rim is an option. To open a 2 piece rim, MAKE SURE TO REMOVE THE VALVE AND ALLOW PRESSURE TO HIT ZERO!!!!!

    Rhino Tire Carrier Restoration Questions

    Just sand it, hit it with rust converter, paint it with POR, and then paint it flat black. Easy, cheap, and effective.

    Speedometer calibration with different tires?

    I’m sure engine parts and shock absorbers and spare tires also manage to fall off. This shipper was and is liable.

    Complete rebuild questions.

    So your 6.5 is 700 lb.s, and you want to add twice the weight. That will affect your handling. Just buy a turbo kit from the site sponsor or a whipple and be happy.
