Interesting concept .... I'm actually working on exactly this. I mentioned in my build thread (or somewhere) that I would prefer the stock wheels to the H2 wheels I currently have. But I want 37x12.5x17 BFG AT's for tires. I have a set of 5 24 bolt rims and I'm looking for 17" dually rims to...

Not much of an update but when I bought the HMMWV it had 2 differrent batteries, 6TL (Exide) and a Deep cycle marine battery. Although they would start the truck I would have to charge them up after a few days. If I ran the engine everyday and drove it they would be OK but not great. Added...

Tell us more about it! Is it still a 6.2 3spd? If it is a 6.2 3spd (likely), with soft top and soft doors, not frills, no air lift bumper, tire carrier, winch, etc.... Less than $10K IMO.

Just curious but are you doing a 2 man or a 4 man hard top, slant back?

I finally got the hood back on today. Also finished replacing the side marker lights, the rear were done but I hadn't got to the front yet. Also replaced the reflectors on the front, still have to paint the screws. This completes the lighting, 4 side markers replaced with LED. Front...

yes

I'm not sure I follow you. The BFG is the same size as the stock tire, both are 37 x 12.5. I have the Rhino tire carrier and BFG 37 x 12.5 and nothing interferes at all.

It just sank in, that is just a glow plug harness and doesn't use (or wired to) the temp controller. Thanks for the education.

A quick look on epay and they are $45 with free shipping for a new harness. I would do that before trying to fix the old one.

Starting with the first picture page 8 of my build thread is my fan clutch problems.. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/my-new-1992-m998-avenger.184818/page-8 To see the fan clutch working you can watch the clutch while you plug and unplug the time delay module. In the picture below, watch...

I would try a little PB Blaster on it and let it soak in. Then a light grip with channel locks to loosen. Might have to try working it back and forth. If it doesn't work the first time add more PB Blaster. I wouldn't splice in a new end but if you can find a connector you can release the...

Thanks I really appreciate that. I've put a lot of time and effort into it and tried to document it here in hopes that maybe it will help someone else.

Thanks, yes I am running the H2 rims. I have mixed feeling on them and kind of wish I hadn't sold the stock rims. I have no complaints because the H2 rims do exactly what I wanted, better street tires in a more common size and less weight. 37x12.5x17 But I prefer the look of the original rims...

The spare tire mount isn't parallel with the bumper so the camera points at an angle to toward the driver side. To fix that I made a spacer for the bumper bracket that holds the tire carrier at rest. Now the tire and the camera are parallel to the bumper.

While putting the radiator back in I also changed the start box to a smart start. Today I filled the antifreeze/coolant and topped off the power steering fluid then hooked up the batteries. And went to start it. Put the key in the on position and the wait light flashed for a second and went...

The plain rock sliders I have seen look like a much better fit and finish. I would not be happy with the fit and finish based on the your pictures.

And with the tire mounted. Someday the rims will be all cleaned and painted black.

Here's the finished camera mount. The camera is sealed around the lens with silicone and held in place with silicone and some double sided tape. It's also sealed to the tire mount. Once it is hooked up and all working I'll use a little silicone to seal around the wire.

Thanks, I have the Aluminum and the machines to work it. Also the spare tire/rim slides over it, plastic, fiberglass or bondo (??) would be easier to damage, crack, break, chip etc. Find a piece of rubber that size to work with and it isn't easier to work than the Aluminum. The Aluminum...

Got a chance to work on the camera mount again. I had to open up the back and fit the camera. The lens lined up perfect. Once the paint sets up i'll finish assemble it and mount.
