    HMMWV ballistic windshield glass???

    Hey Greg, long time no talk. Hate to revive such an old thread, but it's on-topic. What "proper bezels" are needed to install the 5/8" ballistic glass in a standard windshield. The slot for the standard glass is too narrow. Thank you sir.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I also found this. If anybody knows USMC Lance Corporal Adkins, tell him I have his truck.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    Yes sir, that looks like an absolute must if and whenever a fuel tank has to be dropped. I bookmarked this thread for when I inevitably do: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/looking-for-access-cover.158934/

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    That's what I'm thinkin. No sludge was evident when draining, and every fuel system component functions. I'll just leave it in there as a souvenier for another day and tell my OCD to ignore it. Thanks.

    looking for access cover

    Has anyone successfully added this mod without dropping the tank? Probably not recommended due to fuel and component proximity to the cutting, but thought I'd check before starting the tank drop.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    I have one long enough to reach it but can’t get ahold of it. Cussing isn’t helping either.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    Unfortunately it does not… Has anyone added the access panel without dropping the tank? Would take some precision cutting, no doubt.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    Welp, I went to drain the old fuel on a recently-delivered truck and the plug was so brittle that the outer lip came off and the plug went into the tank when I tried to remove it. Got any recommended tools/procedures to fish out the plug without dropping the tank? Currently looking for a pair...

    Hawker Batteries

    My HMMWV came with two Hawker Armasafe Batteries and they charged right up (12.6-12.8V). Date codes are similar (0916-24). I had already purchased two Optima Yellow-Tops for the vehicle, so these are extra. Or are the Hawker’s better and I should use them instead? What are they worth if I just...

    Half Shaft Leak?

    It definitely smells like gear oil, so it must be GO90

    Cost of shipping non-runner

    Shipper should secure it. If something doesn't arrive with the truck (blows off on the highway), call the GovPlanet dude on your release form and submit a claim. They are pretty good about refunding replacement value.

    How To Repair HMMWV EESS S3

    Yeah, I am ordering one from Cam too. His sounds like the end all be all for start boxes. Just wondering if I should get this one fixed as a backup.
