I have a 1038, configured as a 4 door Soft Top. I am looking into the possibility of converting to 2 door hard top. I would like to find an AmTech 2 door? Anyone seen any available? I prefer the true mil- spec, not the RV window type. If you have access to one, I have a 4 door fiberglass top...
Picked this up at Sam's Club last week. Solargizer was not doing the job...more on that in a minute. Anyway I see this guy and it's advertised to charge/maintain about every voltage out there. It was around $75. My batteries that I got from Bruce at southern Metals were pretty dead because I...
I bought a set of what I thought were rear half doors for my 1038. I assumed (I know....never assume) that these doors were for a Humvee and that the would just hang right on. Well up on closer inspection they are too small. The hinges fit.
1. Is there a version of the Humvee that has smaller...
I bought a set of rear half doors. When I put them on the existing hinges that my soft doors fit on, the half doors bind on the raised heads of the mounting bolts for the hinges. Am I missing something?
I cannot see or use my passenger side mirror when I have the soft doors on my 1986 m1038. Is there a better placement for the mirror that will make it useful. I have a Rhino spare tire carrier on, so I am changing lanes and backing blind.
I have heard a rumor that someone has a fiberglass mold of the slantbacks and is making fiberglass sets. Anyone else know anything about that? I would love the slantback look without the $12k price.
Will any Mile Marker 10.5k hydraulic winch work in the HMMWV? Looking at a NIB winch locally, that is at least a couple years old. Does voltage for solenoid (12 vs 24) cause concern with dual voltage alternator?
Today I started my m1038 fine, drove 10 miles, parked it for 20 minutes. When I fired it back up, I turned on the service lights and noticed the headlight reflection on the brush gaurd was surging. I checked the dash voltage and it was bouncing. I accelerated out of the lot, the surging stopped...
I have searched and read and searched and read. Can someone direct me to a reliable source for how much work is needed. I am buying the 6.5 turbo from demil facility. They have one with 1300 miles on it, with the transmission, transfer case, shifter, exhaust crossover, dog house, ecv hood with...
I bought a M1038 hmmwv with a Mile Marker hydraulic winch. No controller. So I bought a controller off of &bay. Plug it in, fire up the truck and try it. It feeds out under power, but does not winch in the cable. I read something about 2 different types of controllers, but I did not understand...
I have acquired the raw bumper, all the brackets needed, the pintle extension and the spare tire carrier. I need a list of nuts, bolts washers and alike to allow me to install. I have tried my hand at searching the TM's and I know it is there, but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated...
