Congrats on your purchase ! I can only agree about switching to 17" rims. I have also decided that for one of my trucks that still drives on 16.5 MT it would be a better deal to switch to 17" and extend the choice of tires. Steel rims are relatively cheap and I'm looking for a road truck tire...

Hi folks, a few months ago, my M1123 was hard to start and wouldn’t run too long after it started. It felt like some water made it to the fuel line. It was driving me nuts. I flushed the fuel tank, drained the line, etc. replaced glow plugs with good new ones, checked everything, even questioned...

I folks, I come from the additive manufacturing industry (3D printing being a form of it) I’ve done quiet a bit of design and prints for aerospace, where 3D printing is definitely not a hobby - and these machines typically cost between 500K and $2M as a common price tag. I still 3D print a lot...

P.S. I know the machining is crap, it’s a quick and dirty prototype made in my garage on a mini milling machine…

Hi everyone, It’s been a while - I’ve been busy with work for the past year or so, but here and there I could make progress on this project. Actually, quite a lot since I received and have tested the onboard computer! I sources a micro computer that costs less than $100 and fits in a 3.4x3.5...

From the post it seems like you received both shoes and drums, new ones. Do you have the old ones to compare? Each time I make a part change, I’ve had problems and my Willys is a mix of new and rebuilt parts, and from brake cylinder to fuel pump I often end-up rebuilding instead of replacing...

I have a similar issue with the slant back. It had a turret bypass when I got it, which was properly sealed (like a dog though, was a real PITA to remove the pints of calk the guys used to seal it) Installed a turret hatch last year, and with the rain season the main center rubber seal leaks...

Yep, that was my point. 10mm have lower resistance = running more amps = burning faster. I only purchase US made with SAE bolting for an American trucks, otherwise it feels odd, an whispering ‘cheap junk’…

When I received the A2, the previous owner left some parts including a ziplock with new glow plugs as spares. I just checked now that I read this and you might be right: these measure a perfect 10mm which is about .02 larger than 3/8" and their resistance is 1.5 ohms vs 2 ohms. So they may work...

Yes - just installing new ones and I checked: they are all 1.9 or 2 ohms.

Hi there, I’ve experienced the same symptoms with my M1123 for the past couple days. Before investigating tomorrow, I was researching on the forum and found this useful thread (as always!) I suspect that mine will be straight forward (the truck has been running great since I reworked it 18...

Congrats on your truck, it will look great once the couple issues are fixed. There ALWAYS are surprises receiving a HMMWV from auction and that's probably part of the experience to fix it and this way make it yours :) Parts are easy to get. They get pricer nowadays but it's still cheaper than...

Hi folks, I haven't managed to find instructions nor photos of what it should look like. I bought a box full of nets that includes 3 sponson nets and since I'm preparing the slantback for a road trip I'll use the opportunity to load wrapped tools on the sponsons. Anyone has a clean picture? I...

I have a Montana DoJ title in hand and I don't see anything like this on the title. Style: UT is the closest I see for both trucks I have titled. Where is this located? I'm worried that if it's on certain titles only then it could mean Off Highway indeed. But I though it would be Off Road if it...

The MT title took about a month so maybe I was lucky! I went through the path of having the vehicle ID verified by a certified DoJ office and sent everything to the DoJ... a month later the MT title and plates were delivered to my office in MT. Maybe it does help to have an actual address within...
