    Is the m1114 the 'red haired step child' of the hmmwv family?

    The sponsons appear to be the same as the m1045a2 but different than the 11 series ecv trucks. Also, I believe the chassis are different. I believe the 1152, 65, 51, and 67s are the heavier chassis.

    Is the m1114 the 'red haired step child' of the hmmwv family?

    Why does it seem as though the m1114 is the odd ball of the hmmwv family. I've tried researching this model and it doesn't appear different from the performance specs of the 1151, 1165, 1167 etc. But the body is somewhat different from all models. It's like it tried to bridge the gap from the a2...

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    I could have sworn the aluminum 11XX roof was several inches wider than the 10XX trucks as they are ECV series trucks. And thus the wider roof would create gaps in the door fitment.

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    Will the 11XX Roof fit the A2 Truck? Is the 11XX Turret better than the A2 Turret?

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    It seems cheaper to go with the 11XX roof if it will fit, likely wont. The 11XX turret setups don't require a turret support. It would seem the better choice. Are the 11XX turret parts as hard to find as the A2 turret parts?

    No turret support needed for the 1165 to my knowledge. I suppose the setup is completely different. It looks Great!!! Steve Did a GREAT Job!!! Congratulations!!!

    $4k without brackets. Just the Support. No Hardware, No Turret, Nada.

    Does having a Turret add more value to the HMMWV? Turret owners... Could you live without it?

    I have FINALLY located a turret support. However, the price is so high, that I am forced to ask..... Is the juice worth the squeeze. I have an m1045A2. My favorite HMMWV and I am still giddy like a kid when I see my truck. :) I am aware of the issues with a turret leaking and believe I can...

    Tunnel by emergency brake gets hot to the touch

    Hello All, Just wanted to pose a question to the group. Took the truck out for the first time on an extended ride. About 40 miles one way on the freeway. The tunnel next to the emergency brake base got really warm (including the emergency brake), dare I say hot. Is this normal?

    slant back gas struts

    What is this called and where can I find another? A cock head screw or something to that effect. They are not common it seems.

    slant back gas struts

    Welp, got one in and it was a serious struggle. Then this happened on the second.

    slant back gas struts

    Sure would help to have another set of hands. But I'm solo, so I guess I will have to use a rope to tie the roof in a vertical position if I can get it that high in a RELATIVELY safe manner

    slant back gas struts

    So.... Whats the trick to getting the shock to stay depressed long enough to get it bolted in.

    Roofs removed from the 11XX Slant Backs(?)

    This is a new development. The roofs were always sold with the m1114s previously. Will a 10xx series roof fit the m1114? Thanks

    Roofs removed from the 11XX Slant Backs(?)

    Hello All, I suppose the roofs being removed from the 11XX Slant Backs is because of some new classification that they are armor and thus must now be demiled? Does anyone have the scoop? At first I thought this was the state of California saying you cant sell an armored vehicle in our state...

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    I like the tires. They're a little wide at 15.5 but I got a great price on them so I couldnt pass it up. Next tire purchase I may get the 13.5 version.
