lol I've had the same experience. I've gotten to the point of writing down everything that has gone wrong since the last time I ordered parts.. (or upcoming maintenance) and then building up larger parts orders.. save on shipping, but end up with $500+ parts orders.. :confused: Also figured out...

Part prices. If the parts are common off-the-shelf ones, you are paying "military markup". If they're NOT common parts (and face it, a lot of the things on a 24V HMMWV are not), then you are paying low-volume, military markup. Either way, these are not high volume production vehicles with...

What is the plan to replace the torsion bars? Custom made, or did you find an off the shelf part?

LED lighting requires a neutral (-) ground, with the positive being on the high/low beam. No idea how your vehicle is wired, but I've seen issues on other vehicles where the light is effectively wired 'backwards', a single positive and then the neutrals are switched. That won't work for most...

Don't plan to run any runflats. Current tires don't have runflats in them. Previous owner gave me the old runflats in a box in case I wanted them. As for balance, I have the centramatics. So I'm hoping balance is "close enough" to compensate.. as I've not found anyone who will balance a...

Locally, I have been unable to find a tire shop willing to work on these. I'd happily pay someone, but nobody (in their words) "is authorized to" or "wants to take the liability" of military/2-piece rims. My plan is simply to follow what the service manual says. More or less: Remove the...

For the Enforcer MT that is a much much better price then Tirerack or similar. But I wanted to try to stick with the MTs. We'll see if I come to regret it when they show up, and in a year from now. :)

Tires will be here anywhere from 3 days to about 2 weeks.. (up to Goodyear). The tires are the original style, Load Range D -- Goodyear Wrangler MT.

Didn't ask. I wanted Goodyear Wrangler MTs _or_ if I couldn't get them, I'd have tried to get the Enforcers MTs.

I fixed it.. $600 + shipping _each_ tire.. just under $3k for all 4 plus local tax

Yes, that is what it sounded like when talking to the guy who called Goodyear. A month ago they wouldn't have even attempted to get permission sell them to me, but beginning of September the back order was lifted and they will sell them on a case-by-case basis.

Tires on my HMMWV were put on by the previous owner, prior to when I bought it last August. These were NOS with DOT dates from 2006-2011. Well one of the tires is starting to show some minor cracking in the sidewall, and other is showing MUCH larger cracking in the sidewall. I started looking...

If the slider is stuck, it's probably just rust or paint (as you guessed). The metal ducting is held in with rivets, the parts manual should show you were much of them is located. I haven't done it myself, but I think you need to remove the engine dog-house for part, and swivel the windshield...

But the important question, did they find any cats?! (I'll see myself out..)

I just checked. I ordered my start switch from Mac Motors on 1/5/22.. Installed it on 4/22/22. So far no issues. HUM 11614131 5930-00-134-5036

If you got it from Mac, I'd definitely contact them about it. Maybe you just got unlucky and it really was a single bad switch. But if Mac Motor's inventory is full of bad switches, that is a much bigger problem (for them). I'm trying to remember if my switch came from Mac or Kascar.. For...

I've had no problem getting DOT 5 from the local O'Reilly's. Military stuff in mine was yellow, but was DEFINITELY DOT 5, the O'Reilly's stuff was a red-ish/purple.. put together no issues at all, mixed just fine. My suspicion is it may have started the same color and turned yellow over time.

Turns out the tags for wire 18 and 91 were swapped on one of the two lights, which is why it didn't work. I was able to get it working.. I do like the looks of these much more then the bug-eye style it had.

Progress.. Hood is installed, I (rattle can) painted the whole thing with Rapco... Not bad for my first attempt at a camo paint job. Paint by numbers, but with a bit more guess work. :) Only thing left to do is replace the headlights, I want to use the Truck-lite 07496, but once of the two...

I'm in as well, I'd love a set of the Hawker AGMs.
