    What wheels are on your humvee?

    My tires are 40x15.5r20. I think its user preference. Some people prefer the spring setup while others prefer discs and puck lift. The ride MAY be better with the spring lift method but I have no idea.

    I have a 1045a2. No idea on the difference in springs between models.

    What wheels are on your humvee?

    No new springs or spacers. 2 in discs and 2 inch body lift kit. Ride is the same to me. The 40in Mud Grapplers are loud but I can barely hear them over the sound of the Hmmwv enging/tranny.

    Engine oil cooler lines resting on exhaust manifold

    The hoses don't run next to the manifold? Hmm guess I need a pic to see that. Seems my hoses have been that way since receipt. Interesting.

    Engine oil cooler lines resting on exhaust manifold

    Does anyone else have this strange issue? The [engine] oil cooling line(s) rests on one of the exhaust pipes coming off the engine. The line was being melted through by the heat of the exhaust pipe. I wrapped it in heat resistant material but I thought this was insane. Has anyone else looked...

    WARNING aftermarket doors from Global Parts

    Hello Lothar, You are not alone in your frustration with the RAAMS Mobile doors. I purchased the X Door version from Midwest Military Equipment. These dealers dont support the product, they just sell them as fast as they can. Many are no longer selling the doors due to these types of issues...

    Civilian armoring the HMMWV

    I guess I dont understand why the standard armor setup wont work for you: Its out there if you look for it. Certain this will stop ANY .223/5.56 round with the possible exception of blacktip which is rare.

    Turret Support Pillar - M1045/6

    Is the wide overlay roof armored? Will the aluminum roof under it fit the 1045A2? If so, this may be a viable option to eliminate the need for a turret support. Does anyone have dimensions for the under roof?

    Turret Support Pillar - M1045/6

    Here is a Turret of the 1151A1. It appears the 1151s dont make use of the turret support. The unfortunate thing is that these roofs are significantly wider than the 1045a2 roofs. Otherwise, these may be the way to move forward without the rare and expensive turret support

    Check out this one. This guy's down in Florida. This truck looks like it just rolled off the line. Super clean.

    Turret Support Pillar - M1045/6

    The idea here is that the ring WON'T make use of the unobtainum parts. It would use the gov planet parts which are more common. Again, The GovPlanet B Pillar has 2 bolts going through the center of the Pillar. This new ring would make use of that, the existing attachment points on the A...

    Turret Support Pillar - M1045/6

    I think the same thing. But I wonder the expense of the first prototype. Once its confirmed and everything works then it would be easier to run off a batch of them. Everyone with a turret hole in their trucks A2 series and earlier could make use of them. But its eating the cost of the...
