    Part numbers for X-Door mounted hinges

    I've had an x-door delivered to me with the left side hinges cobbled and spaced inside out on the right side front door. Well that doesn't work. Looks ok until you mount it, but no go. I need to find the part numbers for the hinge so I can search and get the correct hinges coming. Any...

    "only fill 3/4"

    Mine leaked slightly when filled all the way up. Drove it 2-3 miles and it stopped leaking. Anyway, it didn't leak enough to not fill it all the way up if I'm traveling in it.

    WD40 paint refresh

    You know, it's possible that the military has authorized the product my Marine friend recommended - "because we use it" - since it's biodegradable and not a petroleum product. This might not interfere with future paint work like oils and silicon. The Navy uses it for removal of rust from steel...

    WD40 paint refresh

    Fortunately we have no such rule around here. He was right. It really works great. Apparently the Navy uses it a lot too. Unauthorized, no doubt.

    WD40 paint refresh

    So seeing some recent comments on this thread, I decided to ask my Marine buddy what they dress the their vehicles with before inspections. He said they use a material called "Rust Free" by Bioshield. I ordered a gallon and tried it out. It's impressive. Note specifically the brown in the...

    HMMWV M998 Red dot A/C Custom Install

    Super. Thanks for posting this. I've been considering how to do the condenser/fan component and still have interior access to the cargo area. With advice, it appears that the inside-the-rear-wing will most likely accomplish what I need.

    M998 with no EUC necessary?

    I noticed that some HMMWV GP auctions are clearly missing the restriction "off-road use only" and coincidentally have a starting bid 6 times those noted as off-road. Clearly this implies it's an "on-road" option, no? So they are out there. So how does a 2nd or 3rd hand buyer know what GP put...

    M116a2 Trailer, new wiring harness from junction to vehicle

    I've installed it. Needs one wire modified to plug into the harness on the trailer and I think I'm good to go. One wire left over. Thanks!

    M116a2 Trailer, new wiring harness from junction to vehicle

    It appears that my new harness from the junction (wiring already on the trailer) to the vehicle is not an exact fit. Some of the numbers on the little aluminum tags do match, but not all of them. Where can I find a proper wiring harness graphic so I can get to making this work? Thanks!
