I have looked high and low for these. I can't find one on epay or in any of the forums.
It's this green panel that fastens to the tailgate and has the straps mounted to it. Please let me know if anyone has one or can locate one.
Thanks
Does anyone know the weight of the 1167 or the 1151 REV trucks? I am referring to the weight of their configuration post demil process.
Govplanet is using the curb weight of the truck as listed on the data plate WITH the armor but that is not how the truck is being released to us. I would...
I am hearing many people speak about the large 400 Amp alternators in the newer trucks and that they are so large / heavy that they will eventually damage the harness for the truck and recommend removing it and swapping it with the 200 Amp alternator. What is the group's thoughts / experience...
My understanding is that the Turbo trucks have a 1-2 inch body lift to accommodate the turbo assembly on the 6.5 engine. It seems apparent from what can only be considered a closeout panel on the rear left and right sides of the truck between the body and the airlift bumper. Can someone confirm...
Can someone describe the difference in the driving experience between the A2 trucks vs the REV trucks?
Handling, acceleration, braking, etc. I've heard the REV trucks run at higher RPMs in routine driving than the A2 trucks but I'm not certain. Do the REV trucks feel not as quick as people...
Hello all,
I finally finished all of the big work I wanted to get done on my truck. I just finished the carpet today. As we all know the work is never quite complete but this is a massive milestone for me and I want to thank everyone on the board that has helped me get to this point. I want to...
Has anyone done a seat replacement on their truck? It would be nice to get a head rest
Or head neck support in the event of getting rear ended. Obviously, there isn't a lot of seat room
In the cabin, so I'm looking for a seat with a base cushion no wider than 23 inches or so.
Thinking about...
Has anyone ever used DynaPad for sound deadening and/or heat Reduction?
Dynapad is the heavier material without an adhesive side. It can be used like padding under carpet if need be. Curious to see if anyone has used it.
What are some real world benefits of the REV over the ECV? I understand it has the upgrade to the cooling stack (geared fan) and the cooled differentials but I'm not sure how meaningful the geared fan is over the ECV version or the cooled differentials.
Both models have the willwood brakes and...
Hello All, I was able to finally locate a rhino tire carrier. However, the company that makes them no longer sells the repair kit and the documentation isn't specific enough regarding the pivot pin retainer washer specs.
The retainer washer can be seen in the adjoining pics. Does anyone per...
I am in the process of painting my truck and I was shocked at the price of materials for paint. For decent, solvent based paint (Valspar) 2 Gallons of paint, primer, clear coat, reducer, hardener, etc. price points are coming in over 2k just for materials. We are in a different world today.
Does anyone have an idea just how many more Hmmwvs will be headed to auction? I saw a post earlier this week that the Marines are running out of Hmmwvs that are available to be sent for auction. I have no idea if this is true but I am curious as to how many more Hmmwvs will be auctioned off.
What is the highest mileage hmmwv anyone has encountered? I'm curious as to the life expectancy of the hmmwv with the 4 speed 4l80e with the 6.5 NA engine specifically.
Why does it seem as though the m1114 is the odd ball of the hmmwv family. I've tried researching this model and it doesn't appear different from the performance specs of the 1151, 1165, 1167 etc. But the body is somewhat different from all models. It's like it tried to bridge the gap from the a2...
I have FINALLY located a turret support. However, the price is so high, that I am forced to ask..... Is the juice worth the squeeze. I have an m1045A2. My favorite HMMWV and I am still giddy like a kid when I see my truck. :) I am aware of the issues with a turret leaking and believe I can...
Hello All,
Just wanted to pose a question to the group. Took the truck out for the first time on an extended ride. About 40 miles one way on the freeway. The tunnel next to the emergency brake base got really warm (including the emergency brake), dare I say hot. Is this normal?
Hello All,
I suppose the roofs being removed from the 11XX Slant Backs is because of some new classification that they are armor and thus must now be demiled? Does anyone have the scoop?
At first I thought this was the state of California saying you cant sell an armored vehicle in our state...
