    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    Please consider posting a picture in front of all this while wearing cut off jeans, an old thread bare Lynard Skynyrd T-shirt cut down into a "wife-beat-r", with a banjo in yer hands. Pretty please. Maybe 22 inch spinning rims on the HMMWV too. LOL (Just joshing)

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    In all honesty, I think if you do not secure the front of this properly to your vehicle, it will blow off and potentially hurt someone when you are driving at the speed. Good luck.

    hmmwv has issue starting when warm

    Do these vehicles have anything that functions close to a choke. Is it possible something is functioning like a choke that is cold? Thinking along the lines of a gasoline engine, so sorry if I’m wrong.

    Smoke problems

    With all due respect.. Jet fuel is essentially Diesel, no? On old Diesel engines "spec" is relative. Things get worn and loose. I don't know so I'm not sure about oil as it might contain impurities or not burn properly. I don't know so I'm not sure about adding gasoline/petrol for an emissions...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    New wiper fluid motor. New wiper spray nozzles. Cleaned windshields and then hit them with "Rain-X" so now water beads and falls away nicely. Installed new rear chains for hatch as mine had bad plastic insulators that were allowing damage to paint and lights. Just began installation of tach...

    Smoke problems

    First thing is get injection cleaning fuel additive and clean system. Run a tank of this stuff, then use entirely new tank of only Diesel fuel without additives for the test. Run only fresh fuel for the test! Second I would only let them test the vehicle after it warms up. Vehicle should be...

    Best places to Sell my HMMWV?

    Place an auction on flea pay with a paid link here on the classifieds and a link on craigslisp. Place lots of pictures. A lower reserve price will make auction more enticing. Good luck

    What’s the going rate for slant back kit?

    Bulldogger makes a beautiful looking soft slatback kit. You should look it up. you would also have the ability to place a clear plastic rear window. Most helpful when parking.

    What’s the going rate for slant back kit?

    From what I have seen, just the bare hard top and sponsons without hardware or C pillars or turret, etc go for 6 K on flea bay.

    M1097A2 Tachometer Install on Optimizer 6500 Turbo

    So where would I hook this alternator up on my 6.2 with 60 Amp alternator??? I have a Dixson 00049383 I can figure out the 24V Pos and Neg. Where do I get the + and - tach signals? [EDIT] - It would appear I need a tach mechanical sender. Does a 6.2 have one normally or can I install one or...

    Need to Rebuild Steering, But Could Use Help!

    Sometimes you need stuff ASAP. I like site sponsors and prefer to use them, but sometimes waiting for a PM when you want to get something done is painful.

    Ongoing Log Of My 1987 HMMWV

    Usually matched set means same lot number, same run, same turning, and spaced next to each other on the spool. For now the screaming angry cat under my hood has been silenced, but for safety and reliablility I just want new belts and hoses and such. Thanks Juan

    Which of the 3 ignition switch wires can I use to power a relay?Which wire does what?

    Ordered a few y connectors and male and female packaged connectors. When they arrive I will steal power from the horn, as suggested. I want the rear camera always on. Gonna mount hidden behind a predrilled hole in the rear body. The camera will steal power from the rear light once I swap to LED...

    camping tent in bed? Two man configuration

    So I used to use my Durango and LandCruiser for stuff like this. Two inch pink plastic housing insulation cut to fit the floor/bed. The kind of stuff you get at Home despot in long planks. NOT the fiberglass roll stuff or you will get itchy and harm your lungs. On top of that I placed futon...

    Which of the 3 ignition switch wires can I use to power a relay?Which wire does what?

    So, I need power for my 24V back-up camera, and I want it to turn on when vehicle is running and turn off when I stop the engine. Which wire is live during the drive? Is it safe to run a "Y" connector through that wire to a relay that will turn on and off when I kill the engine? My desire is...
