    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Went to do a little wrenching on someone else’s vehicle but ended up dead in the water after it was discovered the planned Cupola doesn’t appear compatible with the existing hatch. (Sigh) Some accessories not compatible with other assemblies. I suppose if it was easy, it wouldn’t be as fun...

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Out to the do-it-yourself quarter car wash (that now gladly accepts ApplePay.. crazy). Brought a helper that vacuumed the inside while I focused on drying and shinning the window glass. Came home and vacuumed the junk that falls out of tress and ends up in the radiator stack… and found a burned...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    FINALLY bringing it in to get tires balanced. Hasn’t been bad at low speeds but has had a bit of a speed wooble above 45ish. Fingers crossed this is the issue. And yes, I reinstalled and am running run flats on the new tires from last summer based on recommendation that if spousal unit gets a...

    M1165 rear wall window

    I appreciate the thread. My wife was pretty hot-to- trot to have this done when I first brought our 1165 home but I convinced her the Rhino spare tire carrier *I* was hot-to-trot for would render the back window useless.

    NJ Humvee insurance

    UGH... I'm about at my wits end with Progressive. They've been happily taking my money for more than a year and a half. I keep getting notified by that there is a discrepancy with my VIN. Evidently their computer can't handle 6 digits so they add eleven 1's to the number to fill the blanks but...

    Your signature line says you’re a New Yorker but you look to be in colorful Colorado. I grew up in Grand Junction and there’s a ton of places I’d like to go back and explore with my rig full of family. It’s a beautiful state.

    Aw man, that’s awesome. I bought a sister ship to that hoping to conquer trails of the southwest. Instead it’s been sitting in the kids carpool line and making trips to the ice cream shop. I gotta get out there.
