    3 point seat belt install help required!!

    Hi Dan. The templates are apparently very rare. I finished up my three point belt install several weeks ago, without using the templates, and just eyeballing the locations. With the photos in the TM you can get very close. With a few parts you can line them up to existing holes, once the...

    8 bolt hmmwv wheels

    Regardless of the specific rims on a HMMWV, the military requires the beadlocks or runflats. The wheels themselves aren't made the same as civilian wheels, where you can actually have the tire stay on the rim for a bit when it's flat. My son is a mechanic and I gave him my 8-bolt spare, which...

    8 bolt hmmwv wheels

    The original 8-bolt rims used a magnesium bead lock runflat.

    That makes sense.

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    I guess I don't understand why they would need one in an ambulance as opposed to the other versions.

    hmmwv tachometer installation

    Why did they put these on certain models and not on all?

    Vehicle ID

    The last photo shows the reinforcement plate which is added along with the three point seat belts. The driver's door data plate also has to come off when the seat belts are upgraded. It should have been riveted back on when the job was completed. You should find out where it went, since...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    That's a cool converter. Where did you purchase it? I noticed it is an Australian product.

    What's the trick to adding fluid to the transfer case?

    That obviously will empty it's oil a lot quicker than the pump. Thanks.

    I'm not sure exactly what you are speaking of. Is it like this: http://www.harborfreight.com/oil-suction-gun-95468.html

    What's the trick to adding fluid to the transfer case?

    I purchased one of the hand pumps that goes on the gear oil bottle, when I changed the oil in the hubs. It works, but boy is it a slow process. The hubs only hold a pint, but it took a very long time pumping. I gave up and used an empty quart bottle with the nipple on it, and squeezed it in...

    HMMWV won't start

    So after buying a bunch of different parts, now I hear about The Military Guys' low prices! :shock:

    Steering box leaking

    So far, with my new to me HMMWV, I've found next to nothing at local parts stores. 24 volt items are like hens teeth, and I'm finding just about everything else on a HMMWV is similar. I guess it's what makes it a hobby!

    24 Volt Bulbs

    Great. That's the one Mike. Mine has PL instead of GE, and since the bulb came off I had to take it out with some pliers. Of course the plier went right were the number was, but I'm pretty sure that's the number. Maybe if I could have read the number a search on the net would have revealed...

    24 Volt Bulbs

    I have a broken side marker light bulb. I searched and haven't found any place that has just the bulb. There must be a good source for 24 volt replacement bulbs?

    Three Point Front Seat Belts

    Didn't know where else to post a heads up on the three point front seat belt package. With shipping mine came to less than $40.00. Everywhere else seems to be well over $100 shipped. P.S. - I have nothing to do with them other than purchasing what I need...

    Anyone modify the battery compartment?

    I'm wondering what the bracket on the other side of the divider is for?
