    installing a batt. disconnect switch

    Tell me if I am correct... If you use a solargizer on your batteries and install the cutoff switch, the solargizer is taken out of the loop and is ineffective when the cutoff switch is in the off position. I have a solargizer and would like a cutoff, but it seems counterproductive if used...

    HMMWV 4-man Soft Top Slant Back

    I just received a tan “softslant” from Bulldogger today. I unwrapped it to check out his handy work and was thoroughly impressed. It is innovative and affordable. Unfortunately, before putting it on I need to change the camo paint job to desert tan, inside and out. I have a feeling I won’t be...

    Unique hmmwv paint jobs

    Skrilex, thanks for the vinyl wrap idea. I may go this route instead of hand painting the sharks teeth. The digital and Greek ideas are definitely new to me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HMMWV Grounding Kit Install

    I appreciate the advice, Papakb. I removed all the connections and added star washers, connected to a front bolt of the ESS and will definitely try Kroil for future projects. As for the starter bolt, I was successful in using an extractor to get the remainder of the bolt out. The two hmmwv’s...

    HMMWV Grounding Kit Install

    I bought and installed 2 Kascar grounding kits easily with the help of the above video. I ran into trouble with the 3rd install. The grounding bolt in the starter sheared off and then the bolt for the ESS is stubborn. I am attempting the aft bolt to connect to the ESS. Can I use the front bolt...
