Hello All:
I could use some assistance. I have a 2006 M1152A1 and it came without any doors. I want to put on a new 4 man soft top with soft doors. I saw some discussion here about straight vs. angled doors for previously armored models like mine. Does this apply only to hard doors?
If I...
Quick update for any that are interested. NY registration received with plates and nearing completion of a full restoration with 2 to 4 door conversion. Pictures to follow.
When my M1152 was finally delivered a few weeks ago, I discovered the right rear tire was bald. I ordered and received an identical tire from fleabay.
What exactly is the procedure for changing the tire? Are there general instructions in a thread on the forum? Where is this found in the...
Breton website says they no longer sell to the public. Do you know if they do? I'd buy directly if I could. I figured there would be a good markup on ebay but if there wasn't, where could I get it and what's the point for the seller? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hello All: I'm about to order a 4 man soft top kit with soft doors for my newly acquired truck. Does anyone know about any fraud or scams on ebay concerning hmmwv parts? I've purchased many humvee items from higher volume sellers without a problem so far. I was a victim on a big ticket item...
With more of these out therem, might it be beneficial to have a thread dedicated to common issues and fixes for these models? I worked on several things I could share and I'm sure there are many more I am nt aware of?
Thank you very much. This information helps alot. I plan on ordering the parts today. I will post brief commentary and pictures of the job for others in the future. Thank you again.
Guys. I'm fairly new and a bit confused on the back up lights. Is there a thread that shows how to install the switch? Do I need to add rear lights as well or will tail light go bright while in reverse? sorry for these basic questions.
Just got my seat bases from 86humv and they look great. NDT - did you paint the base and the wedge? I have my scotch brite and self etching primer ready but they look so good as is. I may just paint the wedges to start - what do you guys think?
Thanks for the great info. I'm going to do this right now. Which backup light switch should I use and how is it installed? Sorry for the basic questions. Thanks.
Thank you for the quick response. I haven't fully removed the whole thing - I've been trying to replace the lighted indicator without pulling shifter totally out. How do I take the shifter out? I asume cables are attached. How do they disconnect? What is the procedure? Thank you again.
After a moderate struggle, I finally was able to remove the 4 long bolts holding the shifter box down on my M1152. I fear the nuts will be nearly impossible to put back from below.
I think I read some of you installed threaded rivet nuts for these bolts. How do you do this? Is it done from...
Great. Thank you very much. Mine from 86humv are on the way. Are you going to prime and paint them before installation? Also, I think I will need to re-thread the floor holes where they bolt in. Thoughts.
