My truck came with the armor removed, but the armored DWF exhaust on. Quite frankly, it looks goofy standing off from the body with spacers, so I cut and welded mine so that it sits up against the body like it's supposed to.
As much as I'm not a huge fan of dealing with them (slow to ship), Federal Military Parts has precut glass available. That's who I used to recently replace mine.
This project is taking longer than I intended for it to be with work, kids sports and life in general getting in the way. Considering the work that's gone into it for general maintenance, new parts, etc - she ain't bad. Just a recap, but I used a cheap HF HVLP gun that I opened up with a 5/64"...
You're calling me arrogant......
Thanks for your website bio, but I've been here for some time as well and know very well how things work. I've owned and restored Humvees for over a decade at this point and also do what I can to help folks getting into this world. This is my first CUCV though...
Thank you for the informative response. I think that's part of my problem - I'm not exactly sure what I'm googling.
Telling me to Google McMaster Carr has told me precisely nothing.
I just picked up a beautiful M1009 last weekend and it's missing 3 of the antenna pass through plugs on the cap.
I can't seem to find them anywhere, so does anybody know any sources to replace them?
Started painting the M1044 today by painting the large components that were detached from the vehicle. This will be the 3rd truck I've sprayed using Behr paint and the cheap HF HVLP gun. In the past I've thinned the paint past the recommended ratio Behr recommends (1pt per gallon) and have never...
I'm shopping around for a Red Dot kit to install in my M1044A2 slantback and was curious as to what part number is suitable for installation in this truck? Looking at the various kits out there, it's obvious that some kits include components that others don't have, so I want to be sure that I...
@frauhansen and @Godspeed131 - what are you guys using for a digital rear view "mirror"/monitor?
I'm looking for one for mine but haven't found one I quite like yet - I want a rear-view mirror proxy and don't want a split-screen/parking lines to be constantly on.
It's different for each of my trucks, but it sounds like we're all trending the same when it comes to those with the 4L80's. The biggest thing for me is that if it sounds like you're pushing it too much, you probably are.
I could comfortably cruise at 60-65 in the M1097A2 that was converted...
I'll be honest in that I was sceptical with how this years event would go and in fairness, I should have given it a better shot. With the whole 'rona thing going on last year and the change of venue this year, I wasn't sure how it would go. I never cared for Durhamtown as I never hit the trails...
The slantback is the classic, iconic HMMWV look that most of the general public thinks about when you say HMMWV. I was with heavy-guns during my time in service, so have plenty of time in crappy weather with the slantback and what everybody says is true - it's barely a roof really. I've got the...
Now that my MUTT is here, I've got a good inventory of what I have - and a complete jack set with lug wrench was included.
I could use a vinyl top, sides and doors. I'm also interested in US made coils and spark plugs if anybody has any.
Good evening folks. I'm planning on converting my M151A2 over to a USMC vehicle in the next few weeks and was hoping that someone could help with a couple of questions I have regarding the MERDC camo pattern and the unit markings on the vehicle. I'm interested in painting my truck as an early...
Much appreciated! I'm fortunate that I'll be buying it from a friend, so I don't think I'll need to take you up on the offer, but will keep you in mind if I do.
I'm finalizing a deal on an M151A2 MUTT that will need to be moved from N. Kansas City, MO to Athens, GA. The vehicle is running and can be driven onto a trailer.
I'd love to support someone here if possible.
