    Mystery holes in A2 fenders

    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...

    Anyone install seat belts?

    If I'm reading my GA statutes correctly, all vehicles on state roads built after 1954 must have turn signals and vehicles built after 1965 must have seat belts. So, my Kaiser M715 built in 1967 should have both. It has the military wiring and turn signals, but no seat belts. Nor any...

    Help ID tail light bracket. Trailer?

    This came in a lot of take off Humvee parts, and presume it has nothing to do with a Humnvee. What little I have worked on WWII trailer, they usually had a bracket similar to this to hang a tail light from. So guessing modernish trailer. Service tag riveted to bracket but no other data. 24 v...

    Noticed this nicely cut out section of the drivers pillar that is intact on my other M998's. Any idea what was in that location that the military or Bubba felt the need to cut out prior to transfer to me?

    Help ID sheathed cable.

    Picked up some NOS parts from an estate auction and there were 90 of these cables in a box of parts. All the other parts were Humvee, so I'm making a presumption here. Thinking maybe throttle cable, but pics I see show entire cable length is sheathed. This one is 45" long with 18" beint...

    Need help ID seat frame

    Picked up this seat frame at a recent auction where most of the vehicles were large trucks or M37's. Don't think this is M37. Hinge on forward support seems like it would be a front seat to swivel forward and allow acces to rear. Adjustable slide, so not early military. There were also a few...

    Width of M998 from mirror to mirror?

    I know most people are interested in the width of a Humvee from tire to tire, but I'm building a lean to pole barn while my M998 is in the shop and not on site. I want to make one bay wide enough to handle the M998. Anyone know what the width is from outside mirror to outside mirror? I know...

    Slant back jerry can/water can mounting clips?

    Transferred slant back from 1151 to my 998. Inside the 1151 rear tub were two jerry can mounts and one Scepter water can mount. I'd like to transfer the hardware to the 998, but have some questions first. In the pics, the two mounts on the drivers side, one fuel and one water, have what...
