    Gauge brackets idea.

    Not sure. All I know is that these are impossible to find and they brake a lot. i had one good one for each kind and needed some, so I went to michels and got some mold maker. If you can 3d print these in hard plastic, then I’m sure it will sell. Be wary of the one that has the hole in the...

    Gauge brackets idea.

    had to make some resin for some patchwork on something and found my mold. I decided to make another pair to see if it works. Seems good to me. I’ll save these for backups.

    HMMWVs have CTIS anymore?

    I dont think mine was listed as an a2(no holes in the body), but it does have the coolant(trans oil) going into the diff, the 12k chassis and has the large 400a alternator. The fan shroud and fan were the normal style though.

    HMMWVs have CTIS anymore?

    I know this is a bit old but i was looking if I had the ctis hubs and rear caps on my 06 truck. I could have swarn I didn’t since I work a lot in that area adding breaks and a new 12k shaft the past few years (It was missing). After looking at a video of a H1 knuckle rebuild, they mentioned a...

    Softtop rail mis aligned.

    wellnuts are pretty common in that size. My problem is ensuring I get the optimal spot to drill and how to tig the current holes. I know hmmwv aluminum is a tad different. I wonder if the window frame is the same. Also if any welder shop has the skills to do it or is it something special? If...

    Softtop rail mis aligned.

    Never been armored plates. (No holes) and it came with the rails fully installed. M1165. i originally noticed that softdoors did not close on that side so I assumed that the passenger didnt close. I figured they just needed bending. When I got hard doors, i noticed how off they were. I unhooked...

    Softtop rail mis aligned.

    Not missing. I pulled them out. It was a pain because they were crumbling but with some vice grips, I was able to get them out. If you ever take those rails off, can you measure from the middle of the top turnbuckle rivet to the center of the well nut For both sides. as for measuring the b...

    Softtop rail mis aligned.

    The c piller looks like it was stamped by the factory and is equal on both sides.

    Softtop rail mis aligned.

    I was trying to get my doors and top on and it seemed impossible. This truck came with the top rails and the rear curtain along with the camper tarp. I have a new camo 4man top that I want to get on. I was wondering if the soldiers goofed on this in the field or am I doing something wrong? It...

    Hmmwv Chair on a 129$ race sim frame.

    Was looking for something to mount my g923 that I got for cheap and found a frame on eBay. I had my battery seat available since I am working on the truck and noticed that the bolts were an exact fit for the frame. Instead of kicking out an extra 200~400$ on a plastic chair, I went with this and...

    ECV hood Harness Diagram 12469143

    Wow… this helps out a lot. glad I took electrical engineering To be able to read this. I am surprised that A and B are separate wires on the plug since they come from the same wire on the harness. I was able to figure out which wire was which and which port it should go to.

    M1165

    I just got my 1165 started last night after 2 years of piecing it together. (Worked on it about an hour a month). It is an amazing feeling having it move. The brakes need bleeding though.
