    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    I have it in the battery box as the big cable leads are not long enough to mount it elsewhere without chopping the cables or using some type of junction block. Never seen a pic of one installed by the military, so not sure....

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Yes sir, I think that type of hydraulic set up is the heart of the system . I saw a bogert on ebay without the pump. I was real tempted as it was an infrequent poster here but lives in New Orleans. I started looking at pumps and couplings but took too long and it was gone.... Person I got if...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    I have seen the bogert jacks on ebay but never had bid as they seemed to go for more money than I wanted to invest... Recently got one in my price range with an extra pump and 2 extra pump ground brackets. :) Doubt I would afford the $3K uncle pays. Jack appears new or hardly used. Just one...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    I had already installed the swiss cheese rear antenna tower on the right I got from American Milspec years ago when I first got my truck. I have only seen these on the trucks southern steel was scrapping. Theirs had a short swiss cheese mount on the left also. They were busy and shorthanded when...

    My driver's commander seat bottom cover started to fray so I was on the hunt for a fix. I found the oe covers but did not want to take apart and mess with the hog rings. Also think the oe fabric is on the thin side. Also saw some on ebay and one of our members also offers them. I saw these...

    Yes Sir, I think we will be ok in New Orleans / Baton Rouge but folks toward Lake Charles and Houston need to "Be Prepared" as my profession dictates...... Possible Cat 3 in that area is nothing to dismiss lightly.....

    Southern Metals was a literal treasure trove in Wilmington, NC. They no longer have the military scrapping contract for hmmwv's for a few years now so I doubt they have anything left at this point. If you are in the area, they do have a nice warehouse/retail store with lots of metal products...

    Luckily Marco left us alone so I took advantage of the beautiful day to install the fuel tank shield of the undercarriage protection system. Pretty straight forward, loosen 2 screws with a deep 9/16 , straps hang down, insert plate and re-bolt. I was by my self and had trouble holding the tank...

    Installed the dual oil filter kit AMG 57k4411 that I had for a few years now.......that I got from Amtak $40 on ebay who is also a member. These were installed for the sandbox and Saudi trucks from what I read. There is also another kit for the sandbox with a 2nd fuel filter housing with a finer...

    I got that from Rick Larsen's. They have lots of cool decals/stencils for mv's https://www.militarystencils.com/KEEP-BACK-WARNING-P922.aspx

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    I found a used set of the unobtainum mud flap close out panels. They keep mud and debris plus water from spraying out. Many new NOS mudflap kits that were surplussed had these panels broken from poor packaging plus take offs like my mud flaps from Southern Metal did not come with them when they...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Installed the newer style slightly larger/thicker black steering wheel. Got a great deal from Andyrv6av8v on his take out with the cancelling ring already attached. Also thanks to TimnTrucks for bringing it back for me from the last Ga Rally. SS freight is awesome :) It went super easy. I had...

    Underbody Protection Partial Kit Been super busy with a house repair/remodel project so not much time to work on the hmmwv.... I already have the front cage for the differential to the winch mount that I had previously posted. I picked up used very reasonable a transfer case skid plate. It is...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    No, I have a used one from the first design with my M923 with no issues for many years. This truck got a brand new one but it is a different design made by Narton not advanced and I believe made for the hmmwv's. It has a much deeper face and fit the tabs on the dash perfectly with no...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Ah, That makes sense on the ceramic connector. I had sorta thought that because the At1011 set up I have on the Harris base with the tilt adapter just has a screw on the bottom and had a broken off ring terminal. No coaxial or bnc or tnc connections. I tried to hunt down a Harris Rf-382 tm or...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    Very interesting stuff there :-) The tower is made differently than all the ones (20) I have. The thinner side is not angled like mine and the wider side looks much wider and I see 4 holes for some attachment on the side? Also the stiffener in the middle is not angled. Reinforcement is also...

    Is that large hole in the back right corner top of fender? Btw, The tm shows a hole for the cabling for the Rf-382 there if so. Don't recognize the other patterns ? and looks like 2 plugs have also been installed in pic 1

    Cool as they are hard to find. It appears the first ones using the towers were bolted to the fenders bare. I guess some whacking of trees and overhead clearance issues, They issued a bulletin I found in the PS magazine to retrofit plates top and bottom. Plates are easier and cheaper than fender...

    Juan's M998 HMMWV

    I do have a large multi pin connector cable that came with it for the control. Not sure on Power? Is the ceramic cone with a stud/nut the power? Ironically , I think I will be up your way in Sept for my Niece's wedding. She dances Ballet at a company in Indy but I doubt I will have my toy with...
