    Where did you read that about MME? Not questioning it, but curious!

    melton vs gep

    There is debate over whether or not the keyed ignition can cause a startbox to fail. I've never heard this about a keyed fuel supply interrupt, given that, I know which route I'd choose- a padlock and the wire loop, because I'm lazy. YouTube - NSFW Violence/Language

    Water pump type? Flowkooler

    With that high flow rate, does the water pump do a sufficient job of cooling a 6.5 GEP? Are those $270 coolant "upgrades" worth the coin? https://paradoxbydesign.com/products/hmmwv-humvee-cooling-upgrade-system-v3

    Trailworthy fab closed?

    Well that changes my HMMWV tire plans... I was hoping to avoid going the Black Rhino route.

    HMMWV parts found on Facebook.

    Was the seller named Oleg? I am considering buying some stuff from him, but wanted to make sure he was legit.

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    Yep, took about 3 hours start to finish. Measure 15 times, angle grinder for a few minutes, paint and bolt in place. I think I'm going to reinforce the front half as it's a little more wobbly than I'd like (the rear part has more lateral support). I figure with the bench seat in the middle...

    1165a1...what went here?

    Wiring or compressor lines for an Air Conditioner? I have nothing there on my M1123, FWIW.

    1165a1...what went here?

    Use MS Paint or whatever to show us specifically what you're talking about. It looks as if you're missing the washer fluid nozzle, but I'm not sure what you're looking at.

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    If you have any questions, I'm glad to help answer, but it is pretty straightforward. The hardest part was getting the top itself in place, but that was because the channel at the front was a little bent and I didn't bother replacing it ($100), so it was snug. Aside from that, it was very...

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    I went back and forth with him for a while about various things, it wasn't bad or anything, just annoying. It took him a couple weeks to ship (only had a 200 mile journey, too), didn't provide any updates, when I could expect it, etc. I'm sure a lot of it was due to COVID shipping stuff, but...

    HMMWV Arctic 4 man soft top kit.

    I have this kit, bought it from the same jamoke in Illinois for a little less than you paid. It installed fine, not great, doors still don't fit great, neither does the top (this may be a bow issue, still haven't figured out all the bugs) but I will tweak it more when it warms up some. It is...

    Locking Style Seatbelts for Child Seat (Rear seat, M1045A2)

    They’re installed, very high quality, no doubts about the safety of them. Now if only I had seats and a top/doors, I might be able to take the kids out for a drive! I think this is the best solution for smaller kids. The manual tensioning sucks compared with an inertia reel, but as a stop gap...

    Locking Style Seatbelts for Child Seat (Rear seat, M1045A2)

    I'm fixing up my newly acquired M1123, converting it to a 4 man, and have two small kids (3yo and 6yo), so this is something I've spent a lot of time working on and trying to dial in. Standard HMMWV Seatbelts (and every aftermarket/replacement retractable) are inertia reel and will not properly...
