    REV winch options

    I’m being told by The Hummer Supply that this 24v mile marker winch will fit the ECV front end….

    REV winch options

    I know, I’m just wondering if anyone has put it on and if it’ll work I guess. This guy puts one on here, but had to notch his frame. My front nose is different tho and I don’t have those brackets encroaching inward.

    REV winch options

    This isn’t the military MM winch is it? 24v tho and looks like it would fit: https://zips.com/parts-detail/mile-marker-sec12-12-000-lb-waterproof-2-76-51251bw?gclid=CjwKCAjwo9unBhBTEiwAipC111JQK1Ua0Oonwgsn8RrNEaHG0xOmUiY15SZTkKxksMqty10zpioGTBoC9LsQAvD_BwE

    REV winch options

    Thanks for the tip. That front plate looks quite a bit bigger than stock. Does it hang down lower?

    Is GP now painting over the military vehicle markings?

    Mine were very faded. I didn’t even think I had them on the hood, until I wiped the hood down after a rain. They were suddenly visible when wet. Is there a resource to look up your truck by its number? Would be cool to know where it’s been.

    REV winch options

    I found them and sent a message, but I think that’s for A2 trucks. Maybe I’ll hear back Tuesday.

    Rotted headliner removal.

    I haven’t been able to find an oem set. Where do they have them?

    Rotted headliner removal.

    Have you found a replacement for your headliner yet? I gave up trying to remove the old adhesive, and figured I’d just cover it up. I had originally thought if peel and stick carpet squares, or a thin outdoor carpet and some spray adhesive . Then I had this thought, might add some sound...

    REV winch options

    I’ve always love the M715. That’s my other dream truck and I planned on getting one, before the Humvees went surplus. I really like the dual hitch receiver idea too.

    REV winch options

    Another idea - has anyone mounted a third 12v battery to run a 12v winch off of? Would the 12v tap on the alternator be sufficient for that?

    REV winch options

    I’ve searched around and have not found any winch options for the REV trucks. I believe they have different radiator mountings than other ECV trucks and that might affect winch positioning?? If there isn’t a simple solution, what do people think of mounting a trailer hitch receiver up front...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    It mainly leaked at the corners. The drip rails are too short. There’s a hole between the C Pillar and the roof where a squirrel could crawl through. The drip rain should be at least 3-4 inches longer to cover that gap. On mine, I had these aluminum rails, I believe to clip on a canvas...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    Yes there were hummers made with crank windows. Yes hummer doors are top quality. But they might set you back 20k. Give that alpha door company a call. They look top notch and ready to install. Not a big project (like mine)

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    I went with assemble my self. But assemble is the wrong word. Custom fabricate is more accurate. I’ve had a lot of problems. Originally they told me to order the wrong power window mechanisms and I ducked with those forever. I eventually ordered a different sent which the company told me to...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    I’m doing basically the same thing with my 1165. I bought take out dodge caravan seats off eBay. That are nice and fit fairly well. The front passenger seat is just high as it’s over the batteries. I did decide to alter the beam behind the front seats to give more legroom. I’m 6’1” and...

    THE PLASTIC — Tail light housing and side marker light housing

    Does that hold up well? I’ve never paid for rust oleum. The old 98 cent cans (which are 2.69 now) always performed just as well or better for me
