I actually ordered the entire kit off the MME website and had it shipped to my residence in Illinois to avoid paying sales tax. The shipping was free so it made financial sense. It arrived packaged neatly on a pallet, loaded it up with the truck and dropped it all off together for install. The...
Outstanding Sir!!!! I have seen that connector for sale by another vendor for more than double that price...searched for it and never found an alternative source. The link you provided makes modifying my current maintainers/chargers with the slave plug monetarily feasible. Got a spare...
You seem like a very capable dude, I’m sure you’ll figure out the picture posting procedures at some point. I for one can’t wait to see your photographic progress of this build.
It bolts right up, no drive shaft modifications... call Midwest and talk to joe. It’s the same thing, exact kit from the same place dirty boys gets it. Trust me. No mods to any drive line parts. Just needs a shifter. That’s all I had to buy
Midwest military equipment.... same photos and everything. I don’t think dirty boys actually build them, it’s a source in the Chicago area. They just offer it like Midwest.

I used a screw driver handled angled pick...wish I knew what you call it. Had to climb up on the tire and get above the arm to see. It takes prying out on the tab, while prying the arm off the attachment point. Not difficult just awkward.

I got entire set up from the big auction site. Searched HMMWV updated windshield wiper arm
I have a tachometer kit but haven’t installed it yet, so I have no RPM information to share. I can now cruise 50-55 comfortably....37mph is about the shift point for the OD. It is a definite benefit, but if you’re expecting after the install you’ll be running down the interstate with traffic...
