Long term goal would be to get Baja TA replacements for them. Until then I will check them over thoroughly and keep an eye on them. I was mostly curious if a MT would be fine as a spare if the MTRs were on the truck. It's also interesting to hear other people stories about the MTR tires, seems...

Correct, that tire is definitely shot. If the other MTRs do not have any sign of cracking and are newer are they still at risk just because of the age? I've had plenty of MT tires much older that never have a problem.

I'll post more pictures of the helmet top tool box doors soon. It looks original to me, maybe an early model or something. I'll see if I can find the original sticker with NSN on it. I got caught up in the excitement of finding the 24 bolt rims and Goodyear MTR tires locally. The spare tire...

Do you mean the tool box doors on the hard top itself?

I finally had time to work on the HMMWV again. I have added a roof rack, it was originally from a jeep but was a larger model. I'll add some pictures of how I did that. It's getting cramped inside the HMMWV,so I decided to move the hi-lift jack up to the roof rack. My next project that I...

Hello I was out looking at the hitch today. I have the airlift bumper, the reinforcement plate and the receiver hitch. On mine the cotter pin did make it in the original hole. I left off the plate with the safety chain hookups and the thin plate that the pintle swivels against, the two added up...

I finally got tired of all the room the spare tire used inside the back of the truck. I found a great deal on a rhino tire carrier locally. He had everything but the wrench / tool and the clips to secure it. I had to upgrade to 1/2" longer bolts to get it to fit. I also didn't see where anyone...

I was looking at the rifle mounts for the HMMWV. They look like they would make it even less comfortable to ride in. Since I have the hard top I got thinking about a way to put some mounts in the back. The kids love going out and shooting their BB guns and I've gotten tired of them banging...

I too was a little concerned about inhibiting the flow through the radiator stack at first. I'll try driving around with the A/C off and see if the engine seems to get hotter. As it stands now when the A/C is on the engine fan runs much less, so I guess they do push a lot of air. I might just...

I got around to working on the Red dot AC unit this week. I was waiting on the hoses, I had already gathered everything else by going through the packing list that comes with the kit and searching for the part numbers. I have a helmet hard top and didn't want to mount the red dot condenser up on...

Good guess FKAM, I looked at the windshield wiper motor and the two screws on the right side were coming loose and one was gone. The cup I used for the tachometer is an autometer 5204 for 3-3/8" gauges. I drilled two holes in the back to allow the two studs on the back of the tachometer to...

It's been quite a while but I've finally gotten back to working on the truck. We drive it around town regularly, but went to take it for a nice slow ride up through the mountains last week. It made it a few blocks before I started smelling antifreeze. I pulled it back in the driveway and it was...

I've been working on the CMT and neglecting the HMMWV a little, but the CMT has been waiting for about 7 years to get the arctic heater installed. The last drive I took the HMMWV for got a little interesting. The turn signal wouldn't flash, but stayed on continuously when I had the brake pushed...

I've been busy at work, but finally got a chance to work on the HMMWV again. I have a heavy duty antenna mount that mounts on the back and has a side support that I wanted to install so I could add an HF antenna that need some good support. With the helmet hardtop on, it wouldn't quite clear...

The HMMWV was down for over a month this summer. I was having problems with the power steering that I thought was air in the system from when I removed the cooling stack. It was hard to turn but even the brakes stopped working right. Back when I put the cooler back in I filled up the power...

I finally had some time to work on the HMMWV again. I really want to be able to pull our 17' camper with the HMMWV. The tow capacity listed for the M998A1 is pretty small. I would have liked to put on a receiver hitch but the air drop bumper it requires has gone way up in price lately. I found...

I've finished up all the upgrades under the hood for now. It occurred to me that the alternator setup just changes the quantity of belts required. With the 60 amp you have two power steering and two alternator belts. With the 200 amp alternator you have one power steering and 3 alternator...

I decided to go for it and put in anything that requires me to pull the cooling stack. I'm glad I pulled the stack because it would have been a pain or impossible with out it. I pulled all the coolers then decided to take the hood off to get the radiator out, probably should have done that...

That is a sweet truck Gunzy, ironically I couldn't stop and let the kids look at that little car show because we were on the way to get the hard top. Hopefully the wife will get used to the HMMWV and I'll be able to talk her into something larger someday. I debated what to do about that fan I...

I was very excited to get this- Summer is finally here and it would help when I'm not moving. It's a signal two speed 24v fan. I went to figure out how I could mount it and noticed that the fan just flops around, it won't stay in any position you put it. There's no knob to tighten, it appears...
