I haven't been working on the truck much but I have been enjoying it. In another thread (by Mogman) there was some discussion on how the stop lights work and a way to rewire them to add a little safety. I liked the idea and looked for a different way to implement the same basic changes. I...

So it's about not being an adult now LOL LOL LOL, you guys crack me up.

I've been in it since early on, I make up about 1/3 of the posts at this point LOL. I don't get the negative comments. I think it is quite simple, if you don't like it, don't do it but why crap on others if they want to do it to their truck? Why does anyone care about how my brake lights...

LOL, partially. In my case, I seem to forget about the lights until I go to use my directional the first time and it doesn't work. Then I turn them on. I'd say that is about 1/3 of the time. The bad part is I didn't have brake lights until I turned them on. I don't want to get rear ended...

There are certainly some that are capitalizing on the demand for some parts. To the shifter itself, it is still available directly from AM General in costs about $600, new from the manufacture (See pic below). Depends what you want for your truck. The new one has the correct gate obviously as...

Since you asked and made me think about it more, I came up with another version that would retain the BO Driving light in the front. It would also allow the brake lights be shut off for BO driving but would allow the regular brake lights to function when the switch is in the off position. It...

Wow, looks like a military vehicle, complete with well thought out features for use as such.

Don't like it, don't read it. It's really that simple. My steering wheel lock would probably send you over the edge. LOL

To point One, you are correct, it is a military vehicle BUT I'm not in a war or the military. Point Two, Why when I can easily make it safer for my everyday needs? Does that bother you so much to tell us to "go buy a 4WD SUV"?

Yes, that is an easy one, don't do it. I never use BO and I regularly forget to turn on the stop light (no brake lights) until the first time I go to use the directional signal and it doesn't flash, then I remember to turn them on. I personally would prefer not to get rear ended more than I...

Rev 2 The modifications in RED make the brake lights work full time. They also disable the Black Out lights so they can't all be on at the same time. The modification in PURPLE does two things, first it moves the driving lights (tail lights, markers etc) to the STOP Light position of the...

I was basically thinking out loud based on the pictures you posted. I see what you are saying about the turn signals however they are also the hazard light switch and any modern vehicle (last 50+ years) the hazard switch is always live. However the HMMWV I don't believe it is for obvious...

I missed the F connection and was thinking the A was switched power to that side of the switch but now I see it is what feeds the dash light circuit. I corrected the picture. As for back feeding it should be relatively the same as what your suggesting. As long as the directionals and brakes...

Why not make the change in the switch itself? No cutting harness wires and it looks like you could accomplish all of it internally. The brake light mod I like the idea of. The turn signal mod would allow the hazard lights to work with the switch in the off position. With both mods done it...

You'll be able to straighten it easily. I straightened a rear airlift bumper with a torch and a ratchet strap. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-new-1992-m998-avenger.184818/post-2200967

I swapped out my Yellow one for a Black one and the only difference I see is one is yellow and the other is black. Both work my tach the same way.

I did a custom camera mount that I made and mounted in the tire carrier. I used this system https://www.amazon.com/WOLFBOX-Mirror-Backup-Camera-Screen/dp/B0811Q28N6 It is a single rear camera but centrally mounted I have no complaints. I upgraded the camera and would use this one today...

No, don't remove it. As for the rest, just good reading LOL. Identifies some of what's been done to it.

https://mainelobsterfestival.com/ Let me know when you arrive, I'll be there. Last time I went I taught a bunch of Japanese students how to eat lobsters and they didn't understand a word of engrish.

Are they driving HMMWV's up there too? :D
