does this post mean I'm triggered too? heh

Niehoff 1225-1 alternator specs show the standard HMMWV alternator as capable of 200 and 50 amps. See: https://www.ceniehoff.com/product.asp_Q_catID_E_152 What I'm wondering is how the amperage output is controlled and is it typical for this alternator to run with 200 or 50 amps of output.

Got mine, a 2004 M1123 about 6 months ago. Like most of truck culture there's no lack of things to blow money on. So as a break from all that, some cost-effective suggestions. Most auto parts stores carry a rear view mirror that you can tack on in minutes with self-tapping screws for around...

on a 2004 M1123, here is the 12 pin default trailer wiring, can anyone here recommend an adapter for commonly available civilian trailers - below? adapter to:

Someone here asked, so two pictures, first mid-way into getting the water pump replaced and secondly after putting the hard top on it.

So... late Sept, my EUC cleared, got the green light and picked up my very own M1123 last week. Met an Army mechanic who observed that it's common for the troops in hot places to unplug the fan thermostats. That would make the fan run non-stop on high to minimize overheating worries. Fast...

so the seven sold for about $100k that means street market for FMTV 2006 Stewart and Stevens is $14,300?

GSA has about a dozen Humvee's for sale. I count 14, looks like two are desert tan the rest are woodland camo. Some come with generator sets in the back. GSA auctions are at: https://gsaauctions.gov/ Looks like these are being sold out of Northrop Grumman / ARMY in southern Arizona...

Found a regular (not ambulance) Amtech hardtop that someone is willing to sell, but I would need to transport it about 800 miles. Wondering if this is something I could just hang off of my GMC 1500 truck bed. By measurements, it should sit on the truck bed and overhang it by about 6 inches on...

The brand carried by autozone is "duralast", not a recommendation per se, just an FYI. https://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/cv-axle Question I have is how many road miles should you expect to get out of a half shaft before replacement? ...nothing offroad just normal highway type driving.

@fuzzytoaster How did you fill in the holes from previous armor? Wondering what the best technique is to do that!

Please post what you found, as it can be helpful to others. I see suppliers on Amazon that sell for $450 plus shipping for both halves of the winshield and they sell both tinted and clear winshields. Gasket seal kits are $55 - would be nice to find a source for that gasket material in quantity...
