    Yes I found some supplemental doors for now, until I can find the correct Frag armor.

    M1165A1W/B3 GMV Thread

    With several ECV and REV versions of these M1165A1W/B3 GMVs on the market already, and more on the way, I am starting this thread to discuss service & restoration issues specific to them. Most, if not all, were USMC gun trucks, used, abused and demil'ed to remove all the armor (Frag-5 kits, etc)...

    5/8" Ballistic Windshield - Impulse Buy turns Cluster #$@&

    Can't seem to find Gorilla glass that big.... plus, if it's anything like the stuff on my iPhone, it cracks. But i wonder if something like this would work - just to cover up the interior side, for exterior use?

    M1165 - REMOVING REAR WALL - METAL CURTAIN

    Looks like a perfect fit. Did you glue it on there as tight as the OEM did? What materials did you use? Gonna unbolt the roof bolts and pry mine off today.

    5/8" Ballistic Windshield - Impulse Buy turns Cluster #$@&

    I have two LH side ballistic windshield pieces if you want to trade. If not, I would like to use one for the right side, but understand the interior surface will not hold up to the elements (wiper blade, etc). Is there a surface covering, treatment or something that would make it...

    M1165 lower windshield retainer

    You need NSN 2590-01-209-6043 (PN 12338819 ) Check TM 9-2320-280-24P-1 (Fig 226, Item #26).

    Ballistic windshield in regular hard top frame

    What can be done to the surface of the interior side of the ballistic glass to make it suitable for exterior use? I have two LH side pieces.

    HMMWV ballistic windshield glass???

    Hey Greg, long time no talk. Hate to revive such an old thread, but it's on-topic. What "proper bezels" are needed to install the 5/8" ballistic glass in a standard windshield. The slot for the standard glass is too narrow. Thank you sir.

    M1165 - REMOVING REAR WALL - METAL CURTAIN

    Did you ever get the rear wall out? I am in the same situation. It won't budge!

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    Yes sir, already got the OEM Plug. Now I have an open afternoon to replace the transmission filter. Thanks all!

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I also found this. If anybody knows USMC Lance Corporal Adkins, tell him I have his truck.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    Yes sir, that looks like an absolute must if and whenever a fuel tank has to be dropped. I bookmarked this thread for when I inevitably do: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/looking-for-access-cover.158934/

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    That's what I'm thinkin. No sludge was evident when draining, and every fuel system component functions. I'll just leave it in there as a souvenier for another day and tell my OCD to ignore it. Thanks.

    looking for access cover

    Has anyone successfully added this mod without dropping the tank? Probably not recommended due to fuel and component proximity to the cutting, but thought I'd check before starting the tank drop.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    I have one long enough to reach it but can’t get ahold of it. Cussing isn’t helping either.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    Unfortunately it does not… Has anyone added the access panel without dropping the tank? Would take some precision cutting, no doubt.

    Fuel Plug Retrieval

    Welp, I went to drain the old fuel on a recently-delivered truck and the plug was so brittle that the outer lip came off and the plug went into the tank when I tried to remove it. Got any recommended tools/procedures to fish out the plug without dropping the tank? Currently looking for a pair...

    Hawker Batteries

    My HMMWV came with two Hawker Armasafe Batteries and they charged right up (12.6-12.8V). Date codes are similar (0916-24). I had already purchased two Optima Yellow-Tops for the vehicle, so these are extra. Or are the Hawker’s better and I should use them instead? What are they worth if I just...
