    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    OBX....thanks for the inspiration!! Started work on my own GMV Cargo rails this weekend. Not perfect, but it's a start and melting metal always makes for a good time😎🤙

    GMV Cargo Rails

    I was just curious if anyone knew what the GMV Cargo Rails were made out of, are they just some sort of Aluminum or Steel corrugated sheet panels or are they thicker/heavier than that? I'm looking to build a set and figured I could weld some C-Channel for a similar look if something isn't...

    VIC 1 intercom headset question

    Hopefully it's OK to piggy back off this old thread and ask a similar question. I currently have a VIC-1 intercom setup with a 4 crewboxes in my M998, running the H161's and all is working as it should. The family will use intercom to communicate and give the kiddos some leveling of hearing...

    GMC 6.5 Turbo/4L80E?

    I ran across a wrecked 2002 GMC van w/ 4L80E that I was inquiring about to use as a donor vehicle for a potential tranny sway in my m998. Turns out it also has the 6.5turbo diesel in it as well and I currently have the 6.5 n/a. Is there any compatibility between the civilian and military...

    Hmmwv Intercom VIC-1 vs VIC-3

    Thank you for this very detailed and informative answer to my question 🍻. I was hoping to have my cake and eat it to, so it's nice to know what I'm getting into verses just figuring it out as I go. I think I'm going to invest in a cheaper commercial unit for current needs and see how it works...

    Swing away tire carrier dimensions

    100% agreed I believe the most costly component I bought was this the hinge https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N2YFYO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_QjSWFbNWAW0AK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Well worth it IMHO, used same one for other jeep tire carriers I previously built. I liked this one cause the length of...

    Swing away tire carrier dimensions

    Thanks for posting this up!! You inspired me to build one myself off your plans!! Worked like a charm, was even able to modify the plans some so the tire sits higher in the closed position from the factor setup so I can clear my surge brake on my m103a2 trailer. Also was into the whole...

    Hmmwv Intercom VIC-1 vs VIC-3

    Been doing a lot of research on an intercom system for my m988 with a family of 4. Goes without saying, communication is pointless when driving down the road. Have been looking at General Aviation intercoms and motorcycle intercoms but recently liked the idea of staying somewhat military...
