Picked up this seat frame at a recent auction where most of the vehicles were large trucks or M37's. Don't think this is M37. Hinge on forward support seems like it would be a front seat to swivel forward and allow acces to rear. Adjustable slide, so not early military. There were also a few...
Ft. Gordon in Augusta, GA is soon to become Ft Eisenhower and representatives of the family will be at a ceremony in October of this year and they have reached out to the GA MVPA for a MP Humvee as Ft. Gordon was home to an MP training command and this will be a static display during this...
Picked up two M998s at a recent auction, one runner and one parts. Installed new batteries today and fired the runner right up and it sounds great. Trans in neutral and when I went to put it in gear, the shift lever button is up and out but will not depress. Put some WD40 on it and tapped...
Picked up two M998s, one a two door and one a four door and one runs and one does not and I want to switch the body panels around to get a running four man soft top. Anyway, the two rear door filler panels are held in place with a slotted fastener that uses the rear seat back fastening system...
I know most people are interested in the width of a Humvee from tire to tire, but I'm building a lean to pole barn while my M998 is in the shop and not on site. I want to make one bay wide enough to handle the M998. Anyone know what the width is from outside mirror to outside mirror? I know...
Transferred slant back from 1151 to my 998. Inside the 1151 rear tub were two jerry can mounts and one Scepter water can mount. I'd like to transfer the hardware to the 998, but have some questions first. In the pics, the two mounts on the drivers side, one fuel and one water, have what...
Raining cats and dogs this morning, so can't go out and take pick, but will later of turret ring with the rubber seal and the rubber two piece bushings that I have removed to install a solid steel military issued cover hatch plate. eBay seller represented it would be correct for Humvee, and...
Got steel cover plate coming to bolt onto the M1151 roof that currently has the 16 bolts holding the large rubber O ring and the rubber bushings in it on the current roof that we have removed the 1/4" steel plates from. After removing the bolts, it appears that this mount was siliconed in place...
Believe me, guys, I try to look this stuff up in the manual, but when the Humvee you get is missing a lot of parts, I have trouble determining what is missing. On the M1151 snub nose hood/grill, there are seven beveled holes on the top flat surface, three each in a tringle pattern and one in...
Another loose tray that came in my recent M1151 Gov Planet purchase. Approximately 14" long and 10" wide, one side is taller than the other, but both opposite ends are the same height. Rubber on all raised sides to prevent or grip something and small risers on bottom to mount above flat...
Picked up a M1151 for the slant back to put on my M998. I have two antennas on the M998 but no actual radios. I like the look of the dual whip antennas. The M1151 had this rack bolted on top of the a/c unit between the two rear seats. I have no idea if this is a radio rack, ammo can rack or...
Picked up a Gov Planet M1151 to put the slant back and windshield on my M998. 1151 windshield has no glass, rubber seal or retainers in it. I need the whole kit, but am getting conflicting information on what retainers I need for the standard thin glass, not balistic. Will the "standard"...
Have been reading old threads and posts about how impossible it was going to be to get legal paperwork for GA. But, the threads are so old, I can't post updates on them so they are etched in internet concrete. But I purchased my 1985 M998 from a private seller, took my paperwork to GA tag...
Jus short term. Purchased M998 with four man soft top and soft doors. Then I purchased a Gov Planet slant back non runner just for the slant back and windshield so I can transfer it to my M998 for appearance. But hard doors are not in the budget and every Humvee I see on Gov Planet has the...
Picked up an A5 and on the passenger frame support tube are two spring loaded latch pins that appear to hold down something tubular in nature along the frame support tube. On my other Bubba mule, these pins are not present but may have been removed and the holes welded up as a battery box frame...
Don't know for sure if magnesium or aluminum bed, no data plates and four wheel drive, four wheel steer and electric start. I've mounted a negative ground headlight on the passenger bed rail at the front using the rail and platform as negative ground and one positive wire coming out of...
