    Hella h4 conversion or truck-lite style led?

    I went with trucklite headlites as I like the look of them. If I wasnt, I would find some Cibie "E-code" H4 conversion lights. Hella is dot crap nowadays I used to run hella E-codes that weren't bad, but Cibies throw light better IMO

    Difference in HUMMWV Designations

    From what I've read, it seems like the easiest way to ID a four speed machine in somebody's pics is look at the shifter knobs... Four speed trans with P and OD... Three speed no Park

    M35A3 3-Color Camo Brown

    Ive noticed this different brown, too. I originally thought it was just faded CARC brown but it seems like it matches others with the same off brown. I want to keep mine as original as possible but i dont like the mismatch to the correct brown on the canvas.

    M998, 6.2, 3 speed, lost power and fluid leak from air filter!!

    Off the top of my head, I would think that a leaking trans output shaft seal could do the same thing sending ATF downstream

    two man - rear door cover mod to short door conversion?

    This is basically what I want to do too. Search "HMMWV half doors" on Ebay. Last night I saw a guy that has a bunch of "real"? hard half doors for sale. He has good pics of the inside and outside of the hinge and latches for reference

    Best mechanical transfer case with 2WD option for HMMWV

    Sounds like a 700R4 with the HD output mating to the stock T-case is the way I'd pick to go when its time.

    Hmmwv serial # / year of manufacture list

    Im looking at an M1038 but owner wasn't around to make story...I took a few pics to study the thing and noticed that the data plate is blank except for a REG number hand stamped to match the stencil from the USMC. That and an Oregon OHV sticker got me spooked. What do you guys think?

    Lovely oil leak

    Oil on the drivers side spring leads me to believe that its the oil cooler lines. They start by seeping around the metal to rubber crimps and will drip on the drivers side shock and spring. I had the vacuum pump leak like CUCVRUS mentioned and it dripped down the passenger side of the bell...

    LED Head light upgrade. ....

    How well do they throw that light on the road ahead? Or are they like most aftermarket LEDs that illuminate the ISS as well?

    Bringing old and faded door panels back to life

    That clear coat is a good idea. Mine was missing the door panels altogether. I found a set of blue ones and painted them with Rustoleum Satin Dark Brown. Seemed like a perfect match. Did the dash as well.
