    Take a 1044 on vacation...

    Where did you get that fan set up on the rear of the slant back hatch? Is that for cooling the interior or do you have an A/C installed? I have seen similar fans on other military HMMWV's, so I am wondering if that is a military part. Please give me some information as I like your set up.

    New HMMWV Engine

    so, if I understand you correctly, the newer HMMWV engine with the serpentine belt is made by AMG and not Caterpillar. IS this a reliable engine? IS it a good choice for a swap on my m998?

    New HMMWV Engine

    I am considering buying a new 6.5 tdl engine for my HMMWV. I found a source with one available. Apparently its the new engines that are going in the new HMMWV's and is not a GM engine. In fact, I am hearing that its most likely a CATERPILLAR Engine with serpentine belts. Does anybody have any...

    6.2 to 6.5TDL?

    I have an 87 m998 6.2 diesel and I was trying to figure out if I could make an engine swap to a 6,5 turbo diesel? That is to say, is it a straight swap? Do I need to make some major mods? What engines are recommended and where can I get one? I want to buy a new rebuild, or new if possible...

    HMMWV ballistic windshield glass???

    So I did some research and it seems ballistic glass this thick could only stop up to a 9mm or .357 at the most. I guess that's better than nothing. Maybe stop shrapnel as well.

    HMMWV ballistic windshield glass???

    Are these truly ballistic windshield glass, or just standard for hmmwv? Seems 5/8 was not thick enough for ballistic and now I am thinking its just replacement glass for what I already have on the 1025. any ideas...

    help! M240 gun mout? How to use?

    Yes I would like a picture. Where can one purchase such a mount? Is it similar to what I have shown? I picked up the happy trigger in Hong Kong for about $1K two months ago. Its quite ridged, all metal, mostly aluminum and some steel. Its very nice as it uses a standard m4 mechanism inside. It...

    help! M240 gun mout? How to use?

    I have this m240 replica BB gun for my HMMWV . I have the turret shield and pedestal mount, but I can not figure out how this gun mount goes on the rifle. It looks like maybe one piece is on upside down. I have pins to hold it on. Any suggestions or pictures appreciated.

    HMMWV Grote LED instal issues

    They had a HMMWV retrofit kit for over $800, but I did not need all the lights and their full housings so i bought them individually. Mostly, just the fronts. Is there a way to resolve this problem then?

    HMMWV Grote LED instal issues

    I recently installed some Grote LED lights on my HMMWV. Everything works fine. The one problem I have is that the turn signal indicator light on the steering column is flashing so dimly, that I can't even see it. I remember a while ago reading somebody had a similar problem but now I cannot...
