    Mystery holes in A2 fenders

    So, if we are thinking fire extinquisher bracket and the holes match each other on each fender, this would be a bracket on each fender. Any reason for two extinquishers out on the fenders? Maybe one a decontaiminator and one a fire ext? Two decontaminators? Don' know if I have a bracket...

    Mystery holes in A2 fenders

    Looked at a friends 73 Ax today and pretty original, not a lot of Bubba mods. Missing lift rings and brackets on front, felt like holes in the rear for snorter and antenna mount. But, on each front fender, five hholes in same pattern on both front fenders about half way from cowl to grill...

    M998 Reproduction Serial Number Data Plates?

    I restore a lot of military vehicles and reproduction, blank data plates have always been available for me to stamp with vehicle serial numbers and DODs. But, I need two for two M998s that are being restored and I'm not having any luck finding some. Don't know if it's a military regulation...

    Thread size for Humvee antenna base?

    Oooops, spoke too soone. After I moved all my mounts and bases between my two Humvees, one a slant back and one a soft top, I still come up a antenna wip lower section short. I have several of the small thread 6707 mast sections, but need one larger 3900 lower section. If anyone has one...

    Thread size for Humvee antenna base?

    So, with a lot of trial error, here is what I have. It appears that the 3900 base is the larger thread and most of my bases and antennas are of this model. The NOS antenna base and antenna mast I just received is a 6707 and is a small diameter thread. So, I don't need any adapters as I have...

    Thread size for Humvee antenna base?

    Have several two piece whip antennas for the Humvee era vehicles and several spring bases and mounts. All are the same size thread and match up perfectly. I needed one moure base and picked one up in a estate auction parts lot. Mounted it to my mount M998 and it bolts up perfectly, but my...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    Here is the email I received from a Humvee vendor who's opinion I have no reason to doubt or believe he has any hidden agenda. That's why I'm coming here to seek "real world" experiences. Sorry hit the Send button by accident. The reason so man new kits were surpluses is they were designed...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    It is my understanding that MRAPs were equipted with these light bars and the power drain was causing issues, so they were pulled from them and replaced with the LED versions which are still in use. I do not think the Humvees were ever provided the Ibis Tek halogen lights due to this power...

    iBis Tek incandescent light bar kit for Humvee?

    Have an opportunity to pick up a kit with at least two remote spots and several UV lights on several bars. NOS originally for the MRAP but was told will fit Humvee. All excited and then someone told me that these were surplused because they were pulled off all the MRAPs due to power issues and...

    Need pic of tail pipe

    The Bubba fire department that had my truck did a great job of welding up a civilian exhaust system that will probably out live me, so I hate to cut it all off, but it ends under the truck bed and I'd like to have my local exhaust shop fabricate a tail pipe that would look somewhat stock. I...

    What do you call the three inch ring of soft metal b/t exhaust y-pipe and water fording exhaust pipe?

    I took my M998 to a local high school for a veterans day event and one of the youth asked me what the stack was for and I replied that that is how the military could tell if it was a male or female Humvee. I don't think he got it. I like the look of both the snorkle and snorter, but it does...

    M998 6.2 roller coaster idle issue

    I have only been checking this at idle, usually while I am working on something else on the Humvee body. I will try some additional throttle and see what it does and also unplug the suggested lead. I have taken a video of the current situation and will post it on Utube with a link here. Thanks...

    M998 6.2 roller coaster idle issue

    Recently acquired M998, so no history to refer to and forum search does not reveal exactly this isse I am having. Smart Start system works and after engine start engine idles smooth. But, after a frew minutes the idle increases and then settles back down, increases then settle back down. Not...

    What got cut out of my M998?

    Thanks, but, no. I have parts Humvees all throughout the property. My son thought some sort of part or fitting got cut out and we searched the bone yard and nothing was ever attached there in any of the other Humvees. So the access cut out makes perfect sense.

    Anyone install seat belts?

    Sounds great. I have a tote of military NOS seat belts for Mutts and Humvees that I was hoping to use if I have to. But I've seen other just put the least expensive belts in their rig to pass an inspection or keep Momma happy. If I'm gonna do it, I'd like to do it right. This might be an...
