    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Installed rear Airlift brackets. Then sprayed all the bolts for rust protection. My Milwaukee power ratchet literally snapped a Grade 8 bolt. I had not realized there were four battery power settings. Yikes! I will loosen the bolts for final installation, but I gotta drive this beast to where...

    Action is correct. I misread.

    If you need I’m happy to become involved in any way possible.

    Speedometer Cable / Jerking Needle

    This is not a cable issue. It is either an issue with the speedometer gear being wrong or with your tires being too tall.

    Perhaps a section for local firing ranges and "gun" clubs. Perhaps a forum for hunting with former military weapons... What have you caught vs. what got away forums. Perhaps a few sponsors from manufacturers of weapons and restoration services, tour services providing safe family friendly...

    4 Door Soft Top

    So you can send your money via an unrefundable cash delivery courier to a black hole and hope something comes out from China, (other than COVID and a bunch of lies and denials).

    I’m told 4 BT is as tall and annoying to install as 6 so you mightas well go with a 6. You will need a substantial lift. There is a website called 4btswaps. You should check it out.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finished priming front winch frame rail extensions and various rear Airlift pieces.

    Electric IP and pump will cause grief. You have the perfect block so swapping is questionable. 12K shafts are for heavy rigs weighing 12k. You don't need them. Tranny swap with 700R4 vs 4L80E is a good idea. Advancing timing and flow rate on existing IP will give you what you want. Everything...

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    Lotsa stuff recently. Lost my winch fender extensions so bought a new set from RWH. (Thanks Steve). They were raw steel so I primed with self etch and then black primer. I will bake them tomorrow Pulled off old brackets and such a few days ago, front and rear. Rain prevented paint for last few...

    How not to install a Duramax in a M998

    At the end of your build, it would be nice if you would comment on how much money was invested.

    Turn Signal Control Unit LED Bulb

    I like my LED's. They don't dim, but I make up for that. ;-)~

    Well, back in the day when Panzer tanks were a thing, they used flat cut gears and not helical for the top/high gear. They used to break those gears at speed as helical gears will allow several teeth to mesh at once, dispersing the forces. Forgot where I heard this BUT my dad was a tank engineer...

    That is what I attempted to describe. Why in Hell's Bells would a loud military truck with a weak detuned engine need those gears.

    Got another M1123 - Any recs on Builders out there

    60-80K !!!! LOL. Call RWH like NDT suggested, and get it done right without setting yourself up for a rip-off.

    Civilian hubs off of a civilian H1 with a Duramax engine. In other words, nothing super special unless they have CTIS. Gobs of money with limited payoff in a non-turbo non-Duramax. IIRC, the gears might be a little quieter with herringbone/slanted meshing.... Sounds like someone has a lot of...

    Complete rebuild questions.

    Why would you not upgrade the engine to turbocharged GEP? Why would you upgrade to 12k axles and boxes when you want your axles to be the weak spot in order to protect the drivetrain?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Getting ready for front winch and rear airlift. Then pintle extension and ratcheting spare tire carrier. EDIT - Milwaukee 1/2" battery impact wrench did great with all but 1 bolt. The body mount bolt on passenger's side required my 36" breaker bar. EDIT - I decided to order 2 new front winch...
