    Holes on top of the rear wheelhouse M998

    Those are the holes for a mounting plate. Normally it's for a RF-382 Series Fast Tune Automatic 500-Watt Antenna Coupler. The hole is where the antenna lead went through to the antenna base. But a few other radio components fit on the same plate. Juan has one mounted on his...

    Object on humvee wheel

    The "winch" ability was just a function you could do with it and not the primary reason. That is where you attached a clevis for air lifting/tie down the vehicle prior to the development of the rear airlift bumper or if it didn't have the airlift bumper upgrade.

    Help ID tray. Ammo?

    It's a mount for a Scepter, 5 gal water container. Could have been mounted on top of the wheel wells or in the bed.

    New Wheels and Tires

    For maintaining a look close to OE, those look really good. I've been looking for quite a while for something that looked close like that. Didn't occur to me to just add bolts to replicate the look. Glad you posed this. How did you mount the bolts into the holes of the wheel, I'm assuming...

    6.2L rough start in cold temperatures

    Mine has always done the same in cold weather. What I do to mitigate it, is run a block heater during cold temps (near freezing) and if things get below freezing and stay there day and night I add a magnetic oil heater to the outside bottom of the oil pan that I remove before starting. it...

    Short flag mounts for M1123

    I tie flags to 4ft cammo net or antenna masts and slip them over the lower antenna sections, also mount them in the UPA on the weapons tray and on the DWF stack. They all just slip on and off easy so I can keep the flags rolled up on the mast sections, unroll them at the parade start and slide...

    Any tips on how to assemble a hatch and turret setup these days?

    Took me two years to gather all the parts and acquired the final bits about three years ago. It was hard even then. My main sources were 86humv and beltfed34 (they advertise both here and G503). I also used ePay and some of the other sellers on the internet selling HMMWV parts. Just have to...

    Loud clonk while shifting gears

    I have the same problem. I couldn't find anything obviously wrong. I actually replaced all the universal joints in the rear driveline (the originals appeared fine but still replaced them), checked the torque on the half shafts and replaced all bolts and washers. I had rebuilt the geared hubs...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    That doesn't sound good. Post a picture of how it interferes. I haven't seen a Rhino spare tire carrier that doesn't allow the tailgate to open fully

    Cold weather Starting?

    I installed a block heater and use a magnetic heater on the oil pan in the winter here once temps stay below freezing. Makes a big difference in starting and doesn't sound like it is shaking itself to pieces while warming up.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yeah, have to be careful when I lift it. Don't want another hernia. Also added the under hood reinforcement at the same time.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Got the Hood Pioneer Tool Mount I got from 86humv mounted finally, after having the parts for a few years.

    Visual difference of Basic and Supplemental Armor HMMWV Hardtop?

    If you are not using a turret you don't need the support assembly. Many people fill in the turret hole with a round plate and just make an adapted B-pillar to support it. Lots of different ways that people have done it. Gov Planet has sold some of the HMMWV's with a plate covering the hole...

    Visual difference of Basic and Supplemental Armor HMMWV Hardtop?

    All of these have the turret hole. To my knowledge, the military has no 4 man hardtops without the hole. All of the ones out there that are solid are aftermarket, new manufactured (outside of AMG) made ones.
