I just used standard splice connectors that you can pick up from any home store. The horn circuit is interesting in that when the service drive light switch is on, there is 24vdc available at one of the wires going into the actual horn (up under the bumper). Pressing the horn button connects...

Added some interior dome lights. I got these from popular auction site. I believe that they come out of an armored vehicle of some sort. One is turned to the bright position and the other is turned to the dimmed blue position. I wired them into the horn circuit. Made the mounting brackets out...

Added these little 1/4-20 tapped inserts to the back side of the plywood in the middle of the cab. Now I have a great universal way to mount just about anything to it, without putting in screws or brackets. I also sprayed just the plywood with raptor liner. Looks nicer than the painted plywood.

Hello and welcome from the overtaxed state of IL.

I cannot remember the thread size for sure, but I believe it is 1/4" male NPT (pipe thread). The hose is 3/8" ID. You could get a brass elbow with 3/8" hose barb and 1/4" male npt, and then also a 3/8" hose barb elbow with 3/8" npt from any home improvement box store. the thread is either...

What wire did you splice into for the "engine running" lead?

OH. Snap

How about pictures of the HMMWV through the ice?

Although the more I work on my HMMWV, the more I am dismayed at the poor engineering and common product utilization, I have to believe that part is there for a reason. I would certainly leave it there; especially if it is an on-road vehicle.

I have a spreadsheet going with all the civi auto parts store part numbers for the various things I have purchased. Curious if anyone else has done this, and if so would be interested in comparing.

I selected the link in my message and it took me to the photo bucket web site and gave me the option to download the drawing. I guess we will see.

did that work?

Here is a drawing that I put together based off of the brackets, my HMMWV, and measuring an official bumper installed on my friends HMMWV. I have not made my bumper based off of these yet, so I cannot guarantee the drawing, but it should be good. Keep in mind that the official bumper has bungs...

I can tell you to first start looking for 2"x8"x1/4" wall box tubing. 84" long. I got lucky and one of my customers had two pieces of scrap that I got for practically nothing.

I am working on a bumper layout. I have the brackets, and the steel, and a friend with a bumper. If I get it laid out this weekend, I will let you know.

Great news. Do you have the 6.2 or 6.5? I am just curious if you have a standard part number for the thermostat (rather than the military number). I have a 6.2.

Nice. tight fit on the U-Haul.

Looks great. Love the side by side.

Good info. Getting ready to make this swap to LES's.

Changed out all the fluids / filters and a couple of seals (transfer case). Stripped it down basically to the body. Painted all the accessories before they go back on it. On to hoses and belts. I did pick up some great non-working 8' whip antennas and AS3900. Cannot wait to get it all put...
