    HMMWV from Mad Max: Fury Road

    I had spotted it in the background when I saw it but it never got much screen time. Nice screen caps!

    Speaker for HMMWV Laptop

    There's no power transmitted over the audio wire in that sense. The speaker will need tapped into its own 24v source.

    Need part number help. Can't find it in the TMs

    The one the feet bolt into? They're all 1/4-20. Or are you talking about what the brace on the underbody bolts to? If so, no idea on that. Just know what bolts for the tray feet are.

    Speaker for HMMWV Laptop

    I'd imagine the directions give a pin out for the plug on the speaker and where both the power and audio need to go on it. There shouldn't be a difference since I'm guessing most people using these would be installing them in a MV and using the 24v power direct to the speaker and stepping the...

    Speaker for HMMWV Laptop

    If they're including instructions on how to wire into a CB, that should carry over to wiring it to the docking station. Both a Cobra 29 CB and the laptop dock's headphone jack use a 3.5mm jack. Since you're only working with a mono speaker, a TS 3.5mm plug should be what you need and, without...

    Need part number help. Can't find it in the TMs

    No idea why such a long bolt but it does hang out quite a bit. You could definitely use just a 2".

    Need part number help. Can't find it in the TMs

    No part number but they're 1/4-20 bolts. 3/4" length should be fine.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I can't outclass the fine craftsmanship of the above cup holders but it reminded me I forgot to post a followup on the DMI ones I had mentioned. Got my radio tray reinstalled after painting and put the cup holders in. They work great!

    2dr to 4rd conversion

    The aftermarket is still trying to catch up to these trucks. It will probably be a while, if ever, before we have as many options as Jeeps. For now your options are get a factory soft top 4 man conversion kit (from some place like Breton Industries), install a surplus slantback with hard top...

    6.2 Safe EGTs

    Hope you don't mind but I'm just going to copypasta something I posted elsewhere about turning up the injector pump... It was written referencing the directions posted on Flash Offroad. First, it mentions a small mirror. You'll definitely need one. Almost impossible to see the hole otherwise...

    Shifter only moves from R to N to D

    Just my opinion, but I'd avoid using WD40 as a lubricant unless it's one of their Specialist lubricant products. Standard WD40, in my experience, has a tendency to get brown and gummy over time. I can always tell when someone has used WD40 as a lubricant on equipment I work on before me. I...

    6.2 Safe EGTs

    Not really. Just deep fording snorkel (with intake elbow) and exhaust stack. And yeah, she smokes plenty when I get on it. I did have it at about 1/6 turn before I really upped it and barely had any smoke but only a modest power increase.

    6.2 Safe EGTs

    WHAT??? :mrgreen: It's not terrible with the top off, on par with any other open top vehicle. With the top on I've done some sound mitigation with Lizard Skin and some heavy rubber interior matting. Will be doing underbody insulation at some point and also why I'm installing a VIC-3.

    6.2 Safe EGTs

    Yeah, it was noticeable for sure. You can actually merge onto the highway relatively safely! :mrgreen: You do adjust it I'd say go no more than 1/4" turn or maybe a little past that. I'm higher than that and, like I said, could probably stand to back it off a little.

    6.2 Safe EGTs

    I've turned up the pump on mine and I've got my probe right behind the Y in the crossover pipe so I'm getting a reading off both cylinder banks. The amount of cooling in that short distance is negligible, in my opinion, especially since I've got the crossover wrapped. I've hit 1200-1250 a few...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I've always put a quart per tank. Per that lubricity additive test at DieselPlace which gives ratios, I guess I'm adding too much but, I've never had any issues.

    Supporting body when installing rear airlift bumper?

    That's exactly what I did. 2x4 pieces work perfect.

    Soft doors window "spot" removal?

    As mentioned, for the spots, grab some Meguiar's PlastX. Should be able to find it at O'Reilly, Walmart, etc. It got some black stains out of my plastic and really helped with the scratches. For the stitching, I'd suggest just redoing it by hand. Go to Harbor Freight and grab one of these quick...

    Just so if it doesn't, I don't get the blame! :mrgreen: Looks great!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Worth a call to ask. I haven't bought anything from them but from what I've heard they're easy to deal with.
