    Bridge Plate/Weight Classification

    The top semi oval piece slides off. When that is off; the individual number layers come off. arrange to your satisfaction and put the top piece back on. Usually it has a C on it for combined weight with a trailer.

    GMTK AND SGMTK where are they all?

    Nice Score! Seen those as bathrooms and kitchens but not a tool shop.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Looking sharp all around! I was at Al Capone's Sat and I think he has the other door blank panel you need.

    FMTV Fording

    Not sure of exact depth(s) but fmtv's did not do so well in the Baton Rouge Flood of 2016. Many of the rescuers had to be rescued.

    Battery compartment holes

    I have some of the big rubber plugs you could silicone in. They typically have a split flange hold them in but I don't have any spare flanges. Should decrease your problem. Send pm

    What is this connector called?

    That looks to me like a stock gm pigtail female. Probably can get from a gm dealer or a pull it part type junkyard. You could also look at a Napa Echlin Ignition parts catalog illustrated buyers guide in the pigtail section.

    Bad Bill for Title Military Surplus Off Road Moves to Virginia Senate

    The sad thing about this bill is the precedent and case law it creates. Louisiana tried copying this bill and thank fully, it was almost completely eliminated and changed before the final law that passed. Don't ever think what happens in another state does not affect you. There is always the...

    Can't Find Info On My M998

    At least one prototype like this came out of I think in Wright Patterson. I remember a tan unit with a different drivetrain and the different hood alignment. Fuzzy on exact time line when but I recall someone posting it here or on G503.

    new to humvee world

    Welcome to the madness. Start with some basics. Oil Change, lube all fittings, and Coolant flush. My coolant was nasty and the system had lots of mud in it. Check all fluids and change as you can get to them. Check air pressure in tires and bring up to 30-35. Most are severely underinflated...

    Air Filter Question

    Just fyi, If you do have a USMC truck with the fording kit, That is another piece of the puzzle with the vent lines as they are all hooked up together along the way.

    Air Filter Question

    Is it a USMC truck with a fording kit? Sounds like an issue with the vent lines sucking fluid as they are not supposed to do that. Check your fluid level and condition to your Transmission, differential & Transfer Cases. A known issue is called the vampire...

    source for HEMTT parts

    I am afraid those are probably military only with no civilian equivalent. try Flight source in Pa. with part number or nsn http://www.flightsourcepa.info/default.htm

    GL Lost Surplus Contract

    ditto. Really nothing has made my my interest level to even bid and nothing close by either means my $ go somewhere else. Volume and depth/variety of inventory has to maybe 10% of what GL offered. Almost zero parts except the occasional stuff they had sitting outside in a yard like tires, junk...

    Continental hcs 14r20?

    That is pretty cool tool and time saver! I know, I installed some hubcaps on fmtv wheels and bought a die nut to clean the threads for the rim halves. This tool would have made that a snap and to also clean the mounting studs just makes good sense. I think everyone in our hobby needs one of...

    ball joint removal

    There is 2 styles of them made. Originally a pitman arm tool and then they changed the width and it can be also used for some control arms to get to the ball joint if it fits. The other picture posted of the "clothes Pin" type with the threaded bolt/rod is one of the newer styles that does not...

    ball joint removal

    Since these are bolt on and not press on Ball joints, you will not need the press. Typically the ball joint fork is one size and wider than a tie rod fork. If you have an auto zone or O'reilly 's close by, they will loan you the tool for the deposit of the cost and will refund the deposit upon...
