    Hmmwv rubber O-ring warped

    To get the o-ring to stay in place on the rim during assembly I used a little 3M Super 77 spray adhesive. Worked great.

    Federal Military Parts Doors vs West Kentucky Doors

    I have the Federal Military Parts doors, and they seem like a well designed and high-quality door, but they are not exactly a stock replica. They are made from steel, and the “X” is a piece of heavy steel plate cut out to stiffen and give a similar look to the x-doors, but if you are restoring...

    M1123 Radio mounting rack

    I'm looking for the vertical VIC3 mounting bracket that goes on the turbo radio rack in place of the lower shelf. Anyone have a PN or know where I can find one? I can't find one on Ebay without buying the whole rack.

    Need the PN for 24 bolt rim studs

    Thank you! It's nice that it's up here now for the next guy who snaps one off with his new DeWalt cordless impact! Those suckers are very powerful!

    Need the PN for 24 bolt rim studs

    I broke one of my rim studs on a 24 bolt wheel and recall finding it once in a TM, and now I can’t find it anywhere. Found the 12 bolt studs, but not the 24 ECV version. I never ask for PNs without first making the attempt myself, but I’m coming up empty. thanks!

    Down the Rabbit Hole! My Chronicles of Buying a Surplus M1152A1. One Place For All Who Want to Know.

    Looking good! I'm working my way down my own rabbit hole with a Govplanet M1165A1. Also nice work not letting the sometimes cliquish culture of these boards discourage you from posting about your project. Most on here are just regular folks who want to help others. Where in Washington are...

    NW company that can mount HMMWV wheels/tires/runflats?

    I've given up trying to get these 24 bolt wheels and tires mounted and holding air. I've got a PVC (Wigsplitter/Trailworthy) insert in one, and the standard Hutchinson runflat in the other, and I can't get either to seal up and hold air. Believe it or not, I mounted all 9 of my HEMTT wheels...

    How best to separate the wiper linkage from the pivot?

    So the answer for anyone else is to just pry really hard with a little mini-prybar to pop them out of the nylon bushings that are snapped into the wiper linkage. Really Really hard.....

    How best to separate the wiper linkage from the pivot?

    I'm struggling to "un-snap" the linkage arm nylon socket from the pivot inside the channel in the windshield. What's the way to go?

    Unknown Part M1165 A1

    I found them sold in a big lot at GP. I wish some would show up on eBay so I can get a set myself.

    M1165A1 needs steering box - which one?

    Thanks for the advice - To avoid turning a minor project into a major project, I will just find a Sheppard box.

    M1165A1 needs steering box - which one?

    I have an M1165A1 (I think it's a 2007) serial number 249812. Of course when I got it was missing some important parts, one of them being the steering box. I am aware that around this point the REV models got the Sheppard steering box, but I'm not sure if mine got that or not. Does...

    Which pulley for a 400 amp alternator?

    With the Outback inverters you can "stack" them to combine output and create the two phases for 220vac. They can do 3 phase also. They make a military spec model also ( NSN 6130-01-580-7034) . I've been using Outback stuff to run my home and I think they are an excellent quality product...

    Which pulley for a 400 amp alternator?

    My goal is to be able to run more than one stacked inverters so I can run a welder and act as a backup generator. I live completely off-grid, so the idea of having potentially 8-10kw available on a mobile platform is tempting. For the cost of the 200a alternator swap, I could almost buy...

    Which pulley for a 400 amp alternator?

    how much of a project is the 200A swap? I had hoped to keep the 400amp and use it with an Outback 4000 watt inverter I have to create some usable AC. If the biggest drawback is parasitic drag and tight clearances I’d really like to make it work. Seems like the 200amp swap is at least $1500...

    Which pulley for a 400 amp alternator?

    I bought an M1165A1 from GP, and it’s missing the 400A pulley. Now I’m in the predicament of deciding if I pay $450 for the overrun pulley new, wait for a used one to show up on eBay, or buy a $100 solid pulley. Any suggestions or advice for a new humvee guy? I don’t want to go one direction...

    Anyone have pictures of a luverne brush guard on ECV?

    Is there any reason why nobody seems to just do a little quick welding on those brackets to the mounting plate? Maybe I'm missing something here, but that seems like the easiest method of all.

    Is there a separate parts manual for the ECV M1165A1 parts?

    I know that the part numbers for these pieces are 12480837 and 12480838, in case anyone else needs them. I just wish I knew what part manual they can be found in.
