I’m slowly but surely transitioning from iOS and OS-X to Android and LINUX… possibly an UP-phone this year. Apple happily scrambled several hundred gigabytes of very carefully managed music files mixing album covers, lyrics/metadata from the 1930’s with those out of 2010’s and worse; between...

Yep. The very one. this is how mine looked before putting down strips of 1” Gorilla super 100 mph tape (“duct” tape). Actually used it once to take a look while troubleshooting a wonky fuel gauge. It’s one of those mods you don’t know you need or wish you HAD done until you do. II’d...

Thanks. I only responded as it was a topic I had direct experience with. Since moving my HMMWV to Tennessee a little over 2 years ago I’ve gotten into several other hobbies (vinyl LP collecting, building tube amplifiers, rebuilding REVOX reel to reel recorders) and becoming our own contractor...

This is where one of those DeWalt oscillating tools with a carbide half-circle blade would have come in handy. Did mine Years ago AFTER I’d dropped the tank to replace filter, seals, hoses, etc. and realized I could have done all that had I already HAD the hatch in place. REALLY easy to do...

Well, I tried posting this a couple nights ago but my neighbor’s place has so little cell phone reception even with a MiFi Verizon gadget I couldn’t get enough throughput to post. Got the HMMWV down to TN Thursday, 759 miles, 12 hours door to gate, my buddy driving half the distance at about 90...

all in one day? I was young once.

My immediate neighbor (half mile away) keeps talking about buying a pintle mount for it so we can drive around in the hollers and shoot his M1919. Um… I don’t think so. I‘m still licensed, “working” for the same clinic here in MD supervising PA’s (the NP’s keep on killing the patients with...

Thanks, RWH. I’ve worked out something with a friend who runs a JEEP specialty shop and has a 20 ft hauler he’ll loan me for a few days this week. He’s booked out for about six months with appointments, pretty sure he won’t need it this week as he has another smaller trailer. I’ve just got to...

Yeah, that much I know. I’ve checked with my insurer (GEICO) and they don’t cover trailers. No, they don’t have a rider, I’m told. Hagerty, my HMMWV insurer covers the HMMWV while it’s being towed. Think I can’t figure out is how many (well, 3 or 4) sites advertise as vehicle towing capable...

Thanksgiving weekend 2020, I drove my HMMWV for some local errands, it began making some god-awful noises (like some prankster had tied a 1/2” zip tie around a driveshaft but more metallic), I got it home into the garage, and did my best to figure out what the heck was making the noise. I poked...

Where does one RENT said rollback flatbed wrecker, or a trailer suitable for towing a HMMWV? I have spent HOURS on the web and telephone trying to find a RENTAL trailer suitable for hauling my HMMWV. The closest I’ve come is UnitedRentals, but the local office tells me - although it’s on the...

I tried several solvents - no joy. found a new one and just chucked the old in recycling.

From post #78 The plug in my MEP-802 is dead. That’s what, about two years’ worth? The other, sitting in a jar of #2 diesel has swollen about twice normal, the fuel is tinted black. GMG? Um, no. Will post pics for comparison when I get another set - on order.

Yes, but it had a clear Montana title when I bought it. I’d been lurking around this board and others for about 6 mos before buying so I had a good idea what could happen and the seller - RIP - was well-known.

I got mine about 4-1/2 years ago. Registered historic - I barely put 50 hours a year on it driving. At the time I had the option for full registration, the law hadn’t taken effect yet. I went through MD Tag and Title in Laurel, had plates in 3 days. if you callGlen Burnie MVA, keep in...
