    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    Well, I need a bigger vehicle for some work pulling larger trailers AND camping and probably doing some emergency type volunteer work. Purchased a 13,000 mile Cali FMTV. Not running. Bent driveshaft. Time to cry. Then read TM’s and post here. I own several HMMWV and an H1. I guess I’m...

    Butchered H1 wiring by PO

    Radio killing batteries because PO wired into batteries rather than harness, meaning when the key is out the radio is still on. 🙄🙄😣😣 FFS. Now I need to pull the doghouse cover in 30 degree temps. (For you citizens of the Great White North, I don’t mean that ridiculous French Revolution...

    Are there any choices for changing n/a manifold? Or just AMG

    I want to do some custom work. Are there any aftermarket or AMG manifolds that are available that are more easily modified? Will any other type of engine manifold fit the n/a 6.2/6.5 n/an engine?

    Will cheap Harbor Freight tire balancer fit center hub of 2-piece rims.

    Want to do a rough balance of rims. Will the Harbor Freight bubble balancer fill the center area properly to allow for balance? Will the Harbor Freight survive balancing 165lb. Wheels? I searched but no love.

    Any ideas for stickies re.: CAD/CAM AND 3D software/hardware.

    Seems like newbies like me might benefit by standing on others’ experience re.: platforms to purchase and software to utilize and companies to trust with production. Maybe something similar to TM’s on military vehicles. I need to design a simple flat HMMWV dashboard, and I’d love to transfer...

    Dog is my copilot

    We all love them. Many of us have them. Let’s start a post of us in our favorite rigs with prize pooches (and all other four legged friends). Working dogs, service dogs, pets… they’re all welcome. To get us started, this is my husky in my 1995 AMG Slantback Hummer. I will swap in pics of her in...

    Procedure for removing headlight buckets where bushings break off.

    Darned buckets rotted. Worse, bushings are breaking and end nuts are frozen. Anyone know the best procedure for removing the frozen nuts from the hood? Or do I need to drill out/brute strength them?

    Now I’m scared. Fake N3135 regulators???

    New with this price is concerning. Look at the sales location. Many non-English characters. And the no-returns policy of this seller doesn’t inspire confidence.

    What is the max amperage consumption on ECV with lights and A/C on?

    Looking to swap alternators. Long story… Advanced question… What is the max power consumption on a vehicle with lights and flashers and a/c with fans on, perhaps with aftermarket radio and CB radio? Will a 24V 100 amp alternator cover the amperage?

    HMMWV movie sightings.

    Long overdue topic. Fun to see our HMMWV’s in movies, especially when unexpected. Was just watching Free City and I think a purple and black zebra stripe pick-up unit would be terrific. Also got a kick out of all the HMMWV ‘s in American Ultra. And of course we all know you can’t cut open...

    Log of my M1151A.

    Guess who will be joining me next in my family? Just won this today on GovPlanet. Won’t start but otherwise complete aside from missing windshields and missing doors. Made her quite “affordable”.
