    Sound deadening, sound proofing - which have you done and what are your results?

    That’s a shocking result. Really hard to believe actually. I did something similar but I used mlv instead of plywood. I’m still at 72 db idle and 87 db on the highway.

    AC help , which TM? Oil from rear evaporator m1165

    Thank you for that link. I have downloaded all the manuals from Kascar but, maybe I don’t need those ones. unfortunately I clicked on every link for every TM on Gear report, and none of them are from June 2009. What am I missing?

    AC help , which TM? Oil from rear evaporator m1165

    My ac is not working in my 1165. I don’t really know where to start, but I figured getting all the pieces connected was a good idea so. I also have not found the proper TM section yet. The rear evaporator was removed and oil leaked out of one of the lines. I wasn’t sure if I need to top off...

    Anybody have a bird just fly right into your HMMWV windshield?

    They must see something inside or a reflection. I had a red tailed hawk full dive into my house window once. It may have thought one of my kids toys was a mouse or it saw a mouse in a reflection . It stunned itself and stood next to the house for 4 hours before flying off.

    Both tail light are mostly out but some times they come on.

    I had a fault in one tail light. It affected both. Not every time, but most times. it’s the easiest thing to check. Just swap the wires over to a different tail light(assuming you have one)

    Both tail light are mostly out but some times they come on.

    Aftermarket lights? Or just aftermarket bulbs? Swap them back to OEM and I bet they’ll work. I had a similar problem recently

    Humvee audio systems: What have you added / done to your rig ?

    I have that Orion unit too. I put in cheap motorcycle speakers. They tend to be super loud and waterproof. The ones I bought sound great, but I never use them. The truck is too loud already and it makes my brain hurt to have speakers so loud you can hear music over the truck noise

    Tunnel clearance question

    Makes sense. I would set the plywood on the tunnel and drill straight through the plywood and down into the tunnel. Drill into the upper ribsUse a short enough bit as to not dip below the height of the ribs. Putting a little foam or something soft between the tub and plywood might help with...

    Black lights.

I did have the spray paint them - the China covers did not fit. however now my Midwest military equipment China side marker lights, both on the passenger side, have failed. I was able to test both location for power with another led light...

    Adding armor back to the 1151

    Is there a TM for the armor? One project I’m hoping to do a few years down the road, is welding up some rocker panel protection for mine. I’d think I could use a similar mounting system for the bottom foot well area

    4 way stretch carpet? Never knew that existed. Where’d you get it/what brand? Is it self adhesive or did you use a spray?
