I enjoyed reading Norse and Greek and Roman mythology as a child, but I take my vehicle's name from the 5 good books... My retired steel warrior is Joshua. At a time when Moses, Miriam, and Aaron were gone or fading, Joshua rallied God's people and led us to victory to reclaim the Promised...

Hey, I could use the English/Arabic sticker that says stay back 100 meters or you will be shot!

For those of use with limited military knowledge...

Really dresses up the engine bay! That and chrome valve covers and she’s a trailer queen ready for the car show! 🤪

I also recommended that you watch YouTube videos on the subject. You can search the Internet: https://www.flashoffroad.com/Maintenance/wheels_tires/tirechange.htm You can also search this forum for tips and tricks. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hmmwv-rim-o-rings.50965/ Easy Runflat...

I look forward to meeting you, COVID-19 permitting.

So you completed the purchase? Good for you. Stay in touch and feel free to visit in Kings and in Queens Counties.

GB has great fabricators. I bet one of them might, for a reasonable price, might make you an entire new tank out of metal.

Hey Cam! Hope U R well. My comments about Lead/brass/Bondo/epoxy were only regarding smoothing out the inner bead, and not about fixation. In order to smooth outsurfaces (like the inner bead in this case), AFTER WELDING, those products are all commonly used. This reply submitted with love and...

I would crack open your wallet and just buy a new fuel tank otherwise you will be singing the blues when the repair ultimately fails.

Yeah, because no one has ever welded HMMWV wheels before. :/ Rock crawling guys cut the centers out of these wheels and weld in new centers to recenter them to fit other vehicles. They used to do this all the time. Reinforcing the outer lip of a rim with a bead of steel is not unsafe. HEMTT...

I thought Hemmet were 10 bolt rims. They would require a machined adapter.

Hutchinson rims cost 1500... each. I will call your guy, but FYI... I used to widen and modify and weld steel rims for drag racing. Never had one failure, even when incurring damage from potholes.

I just don't have robust TIG experience yet. I don't want to learn on rims. At least not on this project.

Thanks. I was planning on getting 52 inch long round 1/8 rod and tackwelding every 2 inches, then running a single weld all the way around. I was going to weld 2 inches at a time, then move 90 degrees away and another 2 inches. This would disperse heat and prevent warping. Eventually it would...

I want to run 17 inch rims and I prefer steel. That will improve tire options while allowing me to run a standard 16.5 inch runflat insert. I figure welding a 1/4 inch rod all around might be the ticket, but I wanted to see if anyone else had done it?

If you pulled the electrics or the Nartron box while the batteries were connected, there is a good chance you fried it/them.

A year ago another member once posted that he opened up the dash and replaced all the rotted ductwork and suddenly his vehicle was hot and toasty.

Coug: The bead is constructed differently on the civilian H1 rims. The Military is angled and the civilian is square. It is unsafe to run military rims without a runflat/bead locker. I stand by what I said my friend. [EDIT - P.S. - I own both civilian and military specs Hummers, so I get to...

Read a technical manual to understand "O" ring. If you don't install a runflat your tire is at high risk of not holding the bead and separating from the wheel. Watch a "YouTube" video on how to remove and install the tires. Riding without runflats is really dangerous. Don't let an...
