    Media Blasting HMMWV body

    Has anyone tried to use any kind of media to blast the CARC off their aluminum body? I know the local companies around here have several kinds of less abrasive medias like soda or walnut. I just wondered what everyones experience was.

    HMMWV Humvee M1123 Build Thread

    Thank you! I'm trying to have it done by early summer but I've got a long way to go. I'm hoping the chassis and bodywork goes a lot faster than all the fabrication.

    Procedure to remove all the interior "hush" panels?

    They're held in with screws and steel rods that run through them. It's simple to unbolt them and throw them away. Mine were very waterlogged and heavy.

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    I just got +20 wheels 17x9 and by my calculations they're going to stick out about 1.5" to 2". There are conversations on here and videos on Youtube about backspacing but no backspacing conversation works without a comment on wheel width. One Humvee builder talked for a whole video about...

    Degreaser Question

    I'm going to prep a complete motor and tranny for paint and all the degreasers at the parts store say they attack rubber and plastic. Is there any that don't and preferably don't leave a residue afterwards. All the harness is off the engine so there are 40 exposed electrical fittings so I...

    Every windshield they ship to me arrives broken

    I ordered mine from AMG and it showed in stock and they give you no warning when it will arrive. Everything else came so I emailed them and they said I'd get it in March because they had so many orders

    Hmmwv reliability

    I am curious about this also. They've always had a reputation of breaking down all the time and being junk. When I tell someone who's been in the military about my project they say something similar
