    2" glass options

    1.5" glass options I've got an M1025 I'm getting ready to start going through. The windshields I think are 2" ballistic glass. I've only seen one setup out of vegas but didn't care for the price. I'm curious as to if anybody else has ever tried to find a place that could custom cut 2" glass...

    Turret setup questions

    I just ordered a MK64 setup for one slantback but curious as to what others would recommend as I have two more I'm going to start work on. Also, i'm not 100% sure the rules on talking about an M2 on here but I've been looking at M2HB resin replica's, steel replica's and actual semi-auto...

    UV 383 Green and Tan Bedliner options 2016

    I've been searching for a while and see several threads but most are older. I'm looking to do something with my HMMWV beds and possibly a M923 bed. Inside the Hmmwv's, I want to do the bed and possible the entire top of the drive train hump. Then possibly doing the floors instead of the floor...

    Paint Hmmwv with chips

    I've been reading through threads and most responses are chemical strip, sanding. As with others, I've got 3 of these I'm working on and majority of the paint is stuck good, but in others chips. I'm thinking of sanding and trying to feather around the chips and using something like POR 15 with...

    Replacing steering wheel & Horn wire

    I got a new steering wheel. I finally got the old one off. Trying to put the new on on, I found shaft slides up and down and stays down unless you're holding it. The problem there is really no way to hold it. Thus with the spring in place, you can't get the steering wheel down the shaft far...

    Is there a PAG equivalent to SP-15 Compressor oil

    Got everything to pull down my Red Dot AC system and ready to recharge it. I purchased PAG compressor or but in reading on the side it calls for SP-15. Haven't been able to find it around here. I'm recharging with R134a and from what I can tell PAG 100 seems to be the standard? Curious to...

    Red Dot AC questions

    First, does anybody have any pictures of the evaporator mounted without the armor plates? My evaporator is laying in the back with a lower bracket. I'm looking to see what others have done without armor plates. Or if the armor plates can be purchased, any insight would be appreciated...

    Speedometer drive Pinion

    Speedometer isn't working, tracing it back and I think one of the shafts tips in my Drive Pinion is broke off in the Speedometer adapter. Here's a pix where I unscrewed the housing so the entire shaft can be seen. It's rigged at the tip like has broke. Figure 488 in TM 9-2320-280-24P-2 a Pin...

    I'm having issue with the temp gauge on one of my -9-2320-280-34 I see 458A in several places. One place it states connect these to the fan clutch temperature switch in the water crossover. (Edited this as I thought that was the to the actual water temperature gauge. Yet, in section 3-25 it...

    Electrical gremlin

    My 2 man, I had a starter go bad. Or that's what I think. One day it just wouldn't start and with power getting to the hot switch on the solenoid. Replaced with new starter and things worked fine. I replaced glow plugs, installed a S3 controller, matching TSU, installed the octopus grounding...

    Slant back suggestions

    Just got 3 slantbacks. Most all need some work. Just trying to map out a plan for them. All are battlefield trucks what have bullet holes and scars. Trying to decide if the scars and holes are best left alone for character or need to be fixed. Panels have some spots here and there and I'm...

    Mastercraft Defense seat questions

    First does anybody have an avenue to get these? Next, I've seen people out there in various threads here and there talking about installing them but has anybody installed 4 of them in a Hmmwv. Looks like there are suspension seats and jump seats. I'm curious mainly about the passenger front...

    Adapter for 4l80e & NP242 transfer case

    I've got a 4180e and a NP242 I'm trying to mate up to a 6.5. I got them separate, and I think I'm missing an adapter between the 4180e and NP242 transfer case, correct? I saw some 6 bolt adapters on ebay but I'm trying to verify exactly what i need. Anybody have a part number or description...

    4l80e stand alone controller wiring harness

    I've been trying to search and haven't found a resounding answer. We're getting some 6.5 complete drivetrains with 4L80e transmissions. We are getting the controller boxes but wiring harnesses are cut. I've read most are going with stand alone controllers such as TCI. I think I'm going with...

    Anybody had an Hmmwv or Hummer H1 hauled in a traditional 8 to 10 car trailer?

    Had a broker tell me they wouldn't fit but kind of find that odd since all the quote sites allow you to enter a Hummer. If you have had it done, who did you use? I'd rather find a good carrier instead of going through a broker. Thanks.

    After market wheels to run larger tires

    Thinking about going to a 38 or 39.5" tire. But would rather change to a common wheel size, 16, 17 or 18 to have more options for tires. As of now, I've been told Interco TSL & SSR's are pretty much the only option to get a 38.5" tire. Also, I don't want any wider tire or anything that sticks...

    M932 Bobbed rear center from front for 14' ft bed

    Upgraded to a 200 amp alt and it has a small pull on the batteries

    I know it's just the alt. In particular it's the large charging wire from the alt to the starter. If I remove that then the draw stops. Otherwise, the alt seems to work good. It will do it if no other wires are hooked up but just the positive charging wire. All that changed was the alt...

    Starter positive post question

    In troubleshooting a starting problem. I think it was starter related. I pulled my starter off and cleaned the solenoid connection and used a battery and the start kicked in normal. So I decided to clean all connections. Trying to take the nut off the positive stud, nut caught coming off and...
