    GMV Development

    I'm looking for some info on the development of the GMV Variant of the HMMWV for the Special Operations groups. For example, did depots start with an M998 and just add the hardtop, C-pillar and SF accessories? Or did they start with a M1025 or similar armament carrier, remove the sponsons and...

    Turret Leak Fix Materials

    Well, to make my turret leak a little less, here are my steps in applying the recommended maintenance in the above PS Magazine. I chose to use a 1/8" thick 4'x4' square of heavy duty rubber instead of an innertube. The hatch seals up nice and tight, and no water leaks in, after sealing the hatch...

    hmmwv white smoke

    If the white smoke issue occurs with hard starting, replace your glow plugs. It's a quick, 45-minute job and fixed the problem for me. She starts right up like a brand new truck now!

    Anyone modified 2 man troop seats for 4 man vehicle?

    Battlefield Vegas did it with a couple of the Humvees they use to pick-up customers. Great place to visit by the way...

    HMMWV Half Shafts

    What prevents A2 halfshafts from working on an A1 vehicle? Can they be adapted to work, as an upgrade?

    Turret Leak Fix Materials

    Thanks. Yes, I will be mocking everything up (as per your previous advice) before torquing this thing down. I was hoping the added weatherstripping would work, since it provides some cushioning and possibly a little leak prevention. Once I get the tray on maybe I'll come up with better ideas for...

    Turret Leak Fix Materials

    I assume this is the biggest problem... water leaking around the bolt holes. Couldn't I use the rubber from a large-enough inner tube to cover this "channel"? Maybe cur it to fit around the ring and then seal it under the little stock seal, over the bolt channel and then seal it to the roof...

    Turret Leak Fix Materials

    Gentlemen, To prepare for the eminent leaks this winter, I am attempting the instructions in the attached newsletter. It calls for a specific inner tube, which I am unable to find. Has anyone attempted this, or have the inner tube they can mail me? It's NSN 2610-00-051-9602

    HMMWV Hardtop Roof Installation Pictures

    Yes, the C-pillar support bar and brackets out of the sponsons (I'm doing a GMV). And no, I'm not using any soft top components. I have all the right parts. I got an answer on the mounting of the C Pillar components from a friend (by doing a mock-up so the holes get drilled in the right place)...

    HMMWV Hardtop Roof Installation Pictures

    Has anyone documented the installation of a hardtop roof on a HMMWV? I am in the process now, and having some trouble with a few things. Specifically with attaching the C-Pillar to a truck that's never had the holes drilled. The TM's are great, but don't cover it all. Any pictures or...

    AS-3900 Antenna for CB Radio?

    Newbie to the Radio world so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Can someone tell me if the AS3900 antenna will work with a standard range civilian CB Radio, and get AM/FM Waves as well? I am looking to add one to my truck with a civilian radio communication setup.

    Topless is better!

    Yeah, that was just before the jackrabbits starting coming out of the bushes. Although the moon didn't help us much. Darker is better I think.

    Noise dampening in HMMWV

    From what I know, you don't want to reflect heat back into a HMMWV's engine. Those things need as much cooling as they can get.
