After looking at some of the aftermarket half doors - and seeing the prices . . . I'm thinking about making my own. Anyone know if the stock 1/2 doors are 1/4" 6061? I decided to mock some up out of 1/4" ply just to see what the might look like.
I kind of like them - and want to get some...
I'm wrapping up getting my HMMWV back together - and am looking at trying to install a stereo and speakers (likely just a bluetooth receiver - not complete stereo). I was going to install a bluetooth receiver in a gauge pod - but saw pictures of this from Midwest Military. It would solve my...
I'm reinstalling my windshields today - and am wondering what type of adhesive to use between the rubber windshield gasket and metal window frame. Is it just RTV?
i know standard windshield installs call for urethane (glass-to-metal) - but here it's not adhering to glass - just the rubber...
I'm trying to find a replacement heater boot and those ****ed plastic clips that attach it to the heater box. Anyone seen them anywhere for sale? I'm exhausted looking - and would hate to put this thing back together with a ripped boot.
Thx

Anyone have any experience with these? http://ucleardigital.com/shop/helmet-audio/outdoor/anywhere-headsets/ - seems like a decent low-priced headset option - all Bluetooth communication - up to 4 people and can also use phone / music.
I'm getting ready to prep my HMMWV for paint - and am thinking about filling some of the holes it's acquired over time. I've attached pictures of a few - some remain from where the antenna bracket was, others from where the troop carrier apparatus was, others are in/on the tunnel.
I seem to...
So - I'm mulling over some changes to my HMMWV - trying to figure out which way to go with my soft top / doors.
I currently have a nearly new tan 4-door soft top kit. It's really in excellent condition - kit is only a few months old and truck is stored indoors. Pictures attached. I'm...
I'm replacing a half shaft tomorrow. TM says to replace lockwashers. I'm going to pick up some Nordlocks tomorrow - just wondering whether I should pick up new bolts while I'm at it.
Thx

My HMMWV has some pretty good positive rear wheel camber. I suspect it's mostly becuase it's set up to haul a heavy load. I looked at the TM - and camber is adjusted by shimming the upper control arm. That said - I have two thin shins on one side and only one thin shim on the other. Removing...
I'm getting ready to paint my HMMWV (inside, outside, and some of the undercarriage). I've searched and read just about everything I could on paint prep and degreasers - and have seen a few products mentioned ranging from regular household cleaners (simple green) to caustic products (wild dog)...
I picked up a HMMWV last week - and the seller gave me two new one-gallon cans of Gillespie (GCI) 383 Green (34094) paint.
I've tried to do some research on the different variations of CARC paint (solvent, WD, "substitute," etc.) and am a bit confused. Before I start messing with this stuff -...
I'm looking at a few HMMWV's this week - likely going to make a decision this weekend. One I'm looking at has what appears to be a date (month/year) and mileage painted in a few places (front cross-member, trans pan). Current owner says motor and trans were replaced (it's a '92 with a 6.5NA)...
I'm looking at picking up an M998 locally - and the body is painted camo but it has a (brand new) tan 4-man soft top kit. I'm wondering whether I would be able to paint the top and doors with fabric/vinyl paint - or whether I'd be better off swapping out the top and doors.
I've looked at...
