    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    You realize that the way the power goes to the wheels would prohibit that modification, or at least make it very difficult?

    Anyone in New York City with fiberglass panel mold making experience?

    I got a few panels to mold and replicate. Need some help.

    Any way to block Tappatalk image postings?

    Site rules indicate no posting of temporary links/images that will expire... Tappatalk seems like exactly such a link AND it seems an increasing number of members don't upload to SS but instead posts images through Tappatalk, images that will die eventually. Can the site be made to block...

    Bid (and lost) on M1083 in NYS Govplanet auction, but I got the bug

    Thanks guys. My post was not a call for sales BUT yeah, I'm cool if you PM me with the details. That being said, this was not a call for prospective sales. I don't wanna fall afoul of the Mods. I actually didn't anticipate anyone would offer anything. I just wanted to say hi, and I will be...

    Bid (and lost) on M1083 in NYS Govplanet auction, but I got the bug

    319cssb and Suprman, you're both exactly correct! Have a friend "down South" who has a line on one that is in working condition. I think that is the best and least rusty option. THANKS!

    Bid (and lost) on M1083 in NYS Govplanet auction, but I got the bug

    Bid and lost today on GovPlanet on a M1083 with non-run engine. Auctions just went higher than I was willing to pay. I need a vehicle with added gross weight capacity. Might even attach a flatbed trailer mechanism. Need to pull and move my multiple vehicles from place to place and also want...

    Battery replacement ,lithium iron phosphate

    Here's an idea... Disconnect the batteries when not in use, use a de-sulfating solar charger type device to extend longevity, drive the vehicle more often. If not, then spend the $$$$ for Odyssey batteries, a dry lead battery. I love Odyssey batteries, but I don't let them sit. Odyssey...

    Humvee summer question

    It has to due with windscreen preventing eye damage with secondary loss of control of the vehicle at speed. Rollover has nothing to do with my statement as a windscreen will never protect you. If you drive without a windscreen you really need goggles. Just the wind against your eyes at speed...

    Humvee summer question

    It is exceedingly irresponsible to drive a vehicle with the windscreen down unless you are rock climbing! Even then you need a roll cage!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Gear Report: Please consider going to the paint and restoration section to look up Behr paint color alternatives to CARC, and then lightly sand and paint your doors to match. Your vehicle is great, and paint will make it look that much more kick-@$$ MHO, YMMV

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    They forgot to show the hot coco. I used to drive my old Diesel LandCruiser at -40. I found the best thing was to pre-heat with a 110V internal heater AND use a block heater. Once interior is warm, it tends to stay warm even with the tiniest of stock heaters. As the engine starts off warm, it...

    Hmmwv 6.5l purchased, turns out to be a 6.2l

    I have no dog in this fight, but if I decide to purchase from GP in the future, I'm concerned. While I hate the courts for being biased against the common man and for being slow and archaic, there is no vendor public or private that can ignore a class action law suit for systemic false...

    Really stupid wiper question

    There are wiper blade helpers that are essentially a spring to add pressure. They fit over the arm assembly of some vehicles. Amaz0m has them under the following: "RoadPro V-9009B Black Windshield Wiper Huggies, (Pack of 2) " There are various configurations. Find the one best for you. Not...

    M1101 goes deer hunting

    I hope your hunt went well, but I just can't shake the mental images that I have used similar buildings way up North when running water type plumbing was not available. Perhaps you might fit two of those buildings on the trailer, so you might never need to leave during hunting season. (my humor...
