    Man those look great. Did you add spacers or anything to address the backspacing?

    Anyone got suggestions or thoughts on aftermarket wheels? I'd like to get away from these military tires and go with a 17"-18" wheel + mudtire combo. It's the next thing I want to do to my hmmwv.

    Anyone know if it's possible to install a 12v winch by drawing power off the dual volt alternator? Or if there are other options? 24v winches are crazy expensive.

    Anyone got any recommendations on installing the high back passenger seat in the hmmwv? Does it mount directly to the battery cover box or is there a seat slider that it gets mounted to first. Can see how it's possible otherwise considering the battery cover gets installed at an angle.

    Sucks bad. I'm gonna have a professional shop rebuild it. Too many moving parts! All my friends told me buying a boat would be my biggest expense with repairs...they have no clue! Every time I drive that thing something has to be repaired or replaced. But I love it. To my understanding it does...

    RetiredWarHorse or anyone else...got a similar issue and just wondering if anyone has encountered a similar issue. My EESS sorta started smoking and melted a few weeks back. Had the green label so I ordered another green label (used) and hooked it back up. Wait light doesn't come on but...

    I desperately want to find and install troop seats. I've found them in various states but the shipping is as much or more than the selling price!
