    Wet Stacking?

    Daily driver gets to go for a daily drive. Better way to charge the batteries or being a driveway queen. HumV might be showing signs of a virus, wants to get out and go for a hot drive down the road. OH. same here. once and a while. Condensation in muffler most likely. Should dissipate...

    Inspect your MV's....

    Systematic mediation under the Humv with the Pelotron creeper. Start with flashlight in hand moving slowly left to right, front to back. Where I shine it... it gets checked and a mental note of what it does, why it's there (or not) then move a little. Do it again. 1-2-3 and 1-2-3 Doesn't...

    6.2 Motor Chirp - may be pulley bearing or vibration squeak

    Ahh... the squeaks, wiggle, wobble and gremlins. I too can't stand noises that don't belong. Real short stories... so gather around the camp fire. The rattle. This was a crazy one. At idle, ping ping, pang ping, ding ding, dang ping. Thought I had to live with it, till something blows up or...

    Lots of Rain in TX lately

    Mr. T ... What are you trying to say?? quote "As you get older, obtaining hard thick stiff wood that can get wet without breaking might become difficult." It's a hummwv, not a hummer. Forgot you have both, CAMO rofl

    Rear fender condenser to Red Dot install thread

    Sounds like something is out of round?? Magnetic base and dial indicator on the pulleys one at a time with belt/s off. Crank shaft a little more of a pain, wrenching it around. Check for loose or cracked brackets power steering pump, alternator, you got the idea. Changing the harmonic...

    Naritron Smart Start Box (new style)

    Should see battery voltage during the cycle / cycling time on a cold start. At least a few of seconds. Wait light comes on and off...BUT may NOT be a true indicator that the juice is flowing, See my "CAMO can you can too" post shows how to make a simple $2.99 tester to eliminate the guessing...

    Anyone commit sacrilege and weld 16.5 inch rims to convert to 17 inch rims?

    I like thinking outside the box too. 🤔 Brainstorming, tossing out ideas, toss some in the dumb file, sketching up a plan, working out the details. All part of home hobby fun. At some point of the processes way- in the dollars and cents, safety and can I really pull this off... not to mention...

    Newbie Needs Advice on HMMWV

    My two cents... From the pictures you have one of the cheaper winning bids for this model. Looks to be mostly complete. Remember surplus doesn't mean 500 dollars jeeps in a crate... Not any more. They all are going to be a project. Ready - set - go for it. Take the plunge (that it...

    Replacement turn signal cancel ring

    The two small pins are for indexing / alignment and are broken off. The fat two stay on. Switch is slotted and needs to be adjusted to just made contact with the switch cancel flipper. Not sure how these are breaking when set correctly? Snap, crackle & pop, CAMO

    Stuck oil filter HMMWV

    Tire date code

    Not real sure... Look for the 4 digits in the oval. Might be on the other side. Something like 2215 22nd week year 2015. Got to just roll with it, CAMO

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I appreciate the good deed doer in all of us. However... I am a bit concerned about the image of a civilian Hmmwv getting in the middle of the mix as seen on TV lately. With all the confusion and emotion IMO that could go sideways real quick. Target or medic could be risky with the rules out...
