I've been looking for options as well. Local tire place quoted me 5 (I have a spare) 17x9.5 steel wheels with Falken 37x12.5x17 tires for $2500. I don't like the look of the fancy style wheels myself, these are plain black wheels. The more I look, I think I would prefer the BFGoodrich...

It's a double edge sword, I hate they aren't selling them and recovering that money. Also, if they sell 100,000 of them, the states will have to listen to the people that want to register them. On the other hand, everyone they crush increases the value of mine although that isn't that...

One of the upcoming projects is renewing the fuel system. My gauge doesn't read correctly (common problem). The tank is stained and discolored badly, not a function issue. Some of the lines are marginal, etc. I don't like the idea of cutting into the bed to change the sending unit, not going...

I really like this option. I recently purchased a new fuel sender since my gauge doesn't work. At the same time I planned on replacing the fuel tank. The noticeable difference is the new style has a baffle around the sender. I think this one would be more likely to vary the gauge reading...

Ok, then move the negative cable from the slave connector from the shunt block to the battery post (neg) and then install the switch in the negative battery cable. The end result would still be the same, the slave would be powered at all times and would not go through the battery switch.

Take the positive lead from the slave connector and connect it to the positive terminal on the battery (+24v). Then the slave connector would not be effected by the battery switch. This means the switch would not be subjected to the load of the slave device.

Today I added a Solargizer. I mounted it on top of the air intake. I like that it didn't require putting holes in the hood and routing the wire was shorter and cleaner. I mounted the control in the battery compartment. I used rivets, once painted they will blend in with the 300,000 other...

They are from the Stealth HMMWV, very rare.

One of my goals is to replace a lot of the plastic pieces, covers, bumpers etc. The truck is 27 years old and everything is pretty much original. That means cracked, worn, rusted and warped. I've already replaced tail lights and directional lights but found the tail light housings have a...

If you have the LED Flasher why would you want to use a resister to INCREASE power draw so that it flashes? One of the benefits of the LED's is they use less power. The resister makes the LED use more power so it can operate a bi-metal mechanical flasher.

I just checked my doors to be sure, they are 3/16". Looks like I need to get my eyes calibrated again.

Vinegar makes a great mild acid for removing rust.

I think the difference in the full length doors and the ones that use the filler panel are the intent of use. The full length door have door handles that open the door from the inside, as you would need in a 4 man. The ones with the filler panels only have latches on the outside. The last...

The Avenger version seemed to have a hinged rear panel, not a door so much. It allowed access to the systems and storage from what I can tell. Here are some example. I looked at full length rear half doors and they were big money. I found this set of original doors for $500 plus...

Next up is a set of rear half doors. I pulled off the side panel to test fit. They require a front spacer panel that I don't have. I worked up the measurements today and I will make them this week if I have time. Ultimately I am going to build a solid door jam and use Riv-nuts on the bed...

If you go the route I did, here is what I would do different. I would DA the mating surface on the hood for better adhesion of the 5200. With that said, I cut off the pieces today that I said I would do "in hind sight". It bothered me thinking about last night so I did it today. The pieces I...

Very first line in the original post

I ordered a hood reinforcement kit on the auctions site. $70 with shipping I thought was a great deal. The guy has them listed with a misspelling. If you are interested in one, do a search on "HMMWV reenforcement" and you will have no problem finding it. The first thing I noticed when I...

What is the stuff in the red? I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish but unless the 24v to 12v converter uses a common ground, you have no ground to your 12v battery circuit.
