    Are "HMMWVS hand made"

    Looking through your pictures again, I wonder if it might be possible to alter the underside of the panels so that they are able to raise vertically enough that the ends fit tighter against the fender wells. It is hard to tell without being there. The shot that shows the whole panel from the...

    Are "HMMWVS hand made"

    I would be angry. That looks like some pretty big slop in a high dollar purchase. And because of the steep angle and all that weld, the fix isn't quick or easy.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finished up the light bar and made this imitation alpha push bumper. Found some rubber strips on amazon that fit perfectly.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    After 2 months, JD2 finally sent me a 1.25" bending die. So I was able to make a lightbar mount for the truck this weekend. A pair of 20" lightbars will show up Friday so they will be on next weekend.

    Didn't do anything to the truck today but did take a trip into the mountains to help another SS member fixed a cracked engine block. Hopefully she will be back on the trails very soon.

    What size is the crown nut holding the pintle?

    I see you have resolved the issue but I wanted to share a trick I use often at work to mearsure diameters or in this case the size of a large nut. Maybe in the future it will come in handy. By placing 2 squares as shown, you can slide them to fit like a caliper and as long as the bottom edges...

    Revisited my roof insulation install as it didn't quite work put as planned the first time. After some searching, I was only able to locate one spray adhesive with a rating above 190°F. This stuff tops out at 300°F. Shown here: Added a frame to not only hold this last rigid molle panel but also...

    Questions on the M998 Hmmwv Humvee

    Looking into the spindle nuts, I see these 3 types. I don't recall the characteristics of the spindle nut howevr I do remember the indexing ring pictured in the second version here. http://www.hummerpartsguy.com/Geared-Hub-Spindle-Nuts_b_3.html Does that mean anything regarding my particular...

    Questions on the M998 Hmmwv Humvee

    I removed only the bolts holding the ball joints and the other 3 bolts necessary to make the repair. I'm not familiar with the blue lock nut you mention.

    Questions on the M998 Hmmwv Humvee

    Big thanks to Coug and Millcommoguy. Today I took the hub off, installed a helicoil and a new input shaft seal. Everything went well and I was surprised how easy it all was. Your guidance helped tremendously. Thanks again fellas.

    M35A3: what is this air-related item part of?

    Having dealt with my fair share of airline leaks, I would recommend using DOT brake fittings to replace any leaking push lock fittings. All push locks seem to leak eventually while the DOT fitting leaks are quite rare. I source them from McMaster Carr. NAPA also carries a good stock.
