    Going to hook at my first HMMWV Today!

    When you go to start it and the engine is cold you turn the lever or key to run (not start) and observe the wait light on the dash. The light should stay on for about seven seconds then you rotate the lever or key to start. She should fire immediately up. Check the coolant expansion tank to...

    non-stretch recovery rope?

    The nice thing about a chain is if you manage to break it it just falls to the ground and not come flying at you.

    Yes you need to use a chain or cable for stumps. Mark

    The Taunton MA. Registry has people there who are familiar on how to process military vechicles. I registered my HMMWV there and it went very easy. I even have a six digit vin on the title. Welcome to the insanity. Mark

    Humvee military antenna for Ham Radio use

    2meter 5/8 wave is the same as a 6meter 1/4 wave so you would set the antenna for the 47.5-53 setting. An antenna analyzer was used and got the best match at that setting. It is a compromise antenna for sure, but performance is good. SWR below 1.5 across the band. Mark

    The funvee is not happy with me 😞

    If you do indeed Start to overheat after the fan kicks on then you have an issue. Once that fan kicks on you should see the temp drop rather quickly until the fan shuts off around 200 and then it will slowly climb and repete. If for some reason the temp is not coming down as it should then put...

    Armor armored headlight IR lens replacement

    I have six of those single armored lights on my light bar. I replaced the incandescent bulbs with par36 LED bulbs. They each put out 1800lm and run from 10v to 30v. You have to trim the housing slightly to get the leds to fit but it's no big deal. Mark

    Slantback M1043A2

    I heard that also about the air drop setup so it looks like both those other two uses are false. I found some pics of both rail and air drop and it seems definitive. Mark

    They were also used as tie-downs when the truck was shipped by rail. Mark

    It depends on what day you are getting there. If you come up on Saturday get there early like 8am or before to get a good spot up front. Most of the camping sites are spoken for but you can alway park on the field if sleeping in the truck. It's always a great show and you can find some super...
