    Misaligned brake switch

    I respectfully disagree. There’s still value in being able to visualize what someone has done. Benefits for both side, in this case I’d point out that your terminals are too exposed and likely to corrode. I agree that you need a fundamental understanding of the systems you’re wrenching on, but...

    Misaligned brake switch

    A lot of it is curiosity, seeing how other people build things, especially when it comes to something like the HMMWV that can be configured and modified into such different forms. Our M1123s are less than 1k SNs apart and look nothing alike now, words don’t convey those differences the same way...

    Misaligned brake switch

    So you left the other switch in place, is the arm attached to it or was it uncoupled? What terminals did you use to attach the Packards to the relay? Did you use a waterproof relay socket and feed into them? Again, there are dozens of things that you can learn from a picture that go beyond...

    Misaligned brake switch

    I understand how relays work. What I was looking for was where you tucked the wiring, how you deleted the second switch, whether it was removed completely or left in place and bypassed, whether it looked like it would survive being submerged, etc. Whether swiss wiring had an extra neutral to...

    HMMWV Interior Options (Console, seats ?)

    Those are the "Arctic Doors", they have a stuffing quilted inside. They make the cabin nice and toasty in the winter, but the windows are very tiny and do not open.

    HMMWV Interior Options (Console, seats ?)

    I have the radio shelf that I removed the bottom shelf from, I then bolted a cheap "safe"/lockbox to the underside for semi-secure storage. On the top, I flanked the sides with small .50 ammo boxes with mesh netting at the front to keep the "inbetween" section as a small console area for...

    Freaking swiss, I just wanted to see how you wired it all in. Have a good one, honey.

    hmmwv heater core

    Yes, but it definitely needs some "massaging with a hammer" to make it fit.

    Fresh air vent?

    There are flexible pipes that attach to the rigid plastic vents in mine, if those became detached, it could allow for air to flow into the cabin in my setup. You can see how they attach by removing the doghouse and then removing the upper cover that runs longitudinally across the dash just on...

    Mine is, but I have an A2 truck.

    Fresh air vent?

    Is the fresh air intake on the right hand side of the tub open or closed?
