    HMMWV DIY Post and Print forum

    I have a lot of stuff I can post specs on, but im reallly hoping just a couple other people would chime in and be willing to add to this post to get this started before I take all the time to spec stuff. It might just be me thinking it would be helpful for everyone, but maybe the need is less...

    HMMWV DIY Post and Print forum

    As an old member with a new project, I am surprised to find that obtaining dimensions or reverse engineered information for parts is hard to come by. I am in the process of restoring an 1151 Rev to its original Up Armored glory and have been collecting quite a few items. Other than the random...

    MRAP turret in an HMMWV?

    Hello all, So I just purchased a set of Frag5 doors and side armor and I'm now trying to figure out the turret assembly. I have an OGPK that will go on it, but is the MRAP version compatible on the HMMWV (M1151)? I heard the gear teeth are sharp on the MRAP version, and the BPTMU drive system...

    Is the MCTAGS OGPK Turret different?

    Ok….so Ive been researching all the info on the OGPK turret and came across a manual that shows exploded diagrams with part numbers. The OGPK has more of a flat panel in the back, and from the photos I’ve seen of the MCTAGS version, it has angled sides that connect to the back panel. I’m so...

    Bullet proof windshield

    I'm about to remove the complete glass units for the frames I have, and I was going to put them in a bin covered in MEK. I was thinking if it sat for a day or two, the solvent would break down the sealant and the windows may be easier to remove from the frames. I'll post how it goes in a few days.

    Bullet proof windshield

    So the windshield replacement IBIS TEK units are not cheap. $1600 each. I have both sides coming. They are new manufacture heated and per mil specs. I just have to figure out how to remove the originals.

    Bullet proof windshield

    I'm waiting for a price back. I should hear from them in a couple of days. I will let you know. They said the glass was 2.6", but he might have meant overall in the frame based by your photo?

    Ibis Tek Windshield hep needed

    Is it possible just to replace the glass if I had new glass? Theres a vendor on Ebay that had some sort of tool/device to remove the glass from the frame and replace. At least that's what it looked like it does.

    Bullet proof windshield

    Did you install the Ibis Tek windshields? I have no experience with these and I'm trying to gather the data to determine what I need. I do have a military contractor that has new heated windshields for these if your interested. Can I ask what the thickness of the Ibis Tek windshields is?

    Ibis Tek Windshield hep needed

    So, I'm in the process of an Up Armor M1151 and I am going with the Ibis Tek front windshield. Does anyone have a diagram or parts manual for these? I checked the TM's and couldn't find anything. I have a line on new production heated replacement glass for these, but I want to make sure I have...
