I'm afraid I was drawn to the smokey dark side by the allure of blue LEDs and cockpit design. I know guys who have run them for years in their M900 5 ton trucks with zero issues.. I just figured they could overheat not literally self combust, having witnessed it for myself I'm definitely...

so today I thought I'd install a few new add ons I have collected recently.. I bought a keyed ignition switch from 'those military guys' a set of self cancelling indicators and a push button light switch.. well the ignition switch was pretty straight forward, I installed it below and to the...

Ok so today I installed the seatbelt kit.. Was actually fairly straight forward.. The MWO downloadable on here was a huge help... Impossible to do without this if you've not done it before... Was quite tricky without the drill patterns so thought I'd just share a couple of tips which may help...

When I got my truck the screen frame was new and empty, just came with a bag of spares.. I found you had to possess super human strength to install the op arms to the motor mount and pivots! When fitted as soon as I operated the wipers they kept coming popping off.. Was very frustrating...

Hi guys, Thought you might be interested to see some pics of a gathering of 5 Carryalls on a WW2 USAAF base this in East Anglia UK weekend.. Pretty rare trucks over here and to see all these together is quite a sight...

Hi juanprado , Thanks for the reply, when I search items on eBay I often get a message saying HMMWV parts are restricted items that can't be exported.. I have no such problems with parts found searching for HUMMER H1 or M998 weird eh? Could you give me the eBay item number for the brackets...

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a mud flap kit for my M998 please? Im looking for the kit that mounts yo airlift bumper, I've seen a couple of sets on eBay for around $80 but I have again been told that they are not allowed to be shipped over to the UK. Seem to find this with a fair few...

When I got my truck it had a terrible squeak on the front end that sounded like suspension.. Turner out it was one of the lower ball joints..

Where the stuck bolt is located you could try jamming a thin chisel or screwdriver behind the seat belt tab effectively pulling the rivnut towards you at the same time as undoing the bolt.. If you can spray some release spray on the thread end of the bolt. If this fails to work then cut...

When I got my truck all the lighting system was a real mess, looked like front end had been submerged.. I fitted new hood wiring loom, LED headlamps, Riverside LED front and rear lights, LED yellow side markers on hood and standard non LED red rear markers, standard flasher unit, standard...

You could try swapping out your light switch unit, these can be faulty and cause all sorts of issues.. Make sure you disconnect the batteries before swapping out electrical components!! Also as mentioned search for previous threads on LED light issues..

I find that mine leaks water from the Velcro seal when it rains and thought this may be due to there being no 'apex' to the front frame.. ?

Hi there DLJIII Welcome to the site from the UK! I am fairly new to the HMMWV and this site is THE place to learn about your truck.. I find it fascinating reading about other peoples issues and fixes, even if you haven't experienced certain problems (though I'm sure they'll come up) it's a...
