    What happened to the Growler crowd?

    Thanks for an update. Im in negotiations to try and obtain ITV78. So ive been going through Greg's videos with great interest. Also wondering if there any "out and about" type things going on. Mods, upgrades, stuff like that. I see you on Growler Forum but you seem to be one of the few active...

    HMMWV turn signal woes REDUX

    You need to know the part number that is on your flasher. Having LED headlights or not isnt an issue as far as the flasher unit is concerned. Neither are marker lights. Its just the bulbs that would flash will need the correct flasher unit to work properly. If you replace the bulb in the green...

    What happened to the Growler crowd?

    When these things first hit the auctions and got into buyers hands there was increasing activity and some forums sprang up. I know production numbers were only in the triple digits but most content on them is 3 to 5 years old now...nothing recent. Thank goodness Greg Rasmussen took the time...

    Quick disconnect to fan

    I could never get my hand in and bent around backward to undo the hose at the bulkhead fitting. I recommend sucking it up and removing the stack. That way you can replace the leaking parts and give a good cleaning between the radiators that cant really be seen or done any other way. Once you get...

    Fluid preferences

    I believe the mil-spec lug nuts have lock nut feature like most of the nuts on these trucks. Ive never seen them be able to spin down by hand even when new. Best practice I've used is to tough it out with a long-handled ratchet or breaker bar. Using and impact gun on them seems to cause them to...

    Educate me on side mirrors

    Yeah the drivers mirror used to be up on the windshield frame where it blocks visibility to the 10-11 o'clock direction horribly. Mine was upgraded to a MAK and had the lowering holes already present. It looks goofy like that but i can see pedestrians when turning left now. I think the door...

    Educate me on side mirrors

    If you set the mirrors per the TM instructions the doors dont hit them. They will also fold forward or backward for tight clearances. I got mine new complete from AM General for a little more than the chinese knockoffs. The chinese kits have a solid disc instead of the detented folding...

    HMMWV Heater electric actuator replacement

    While the pull cable with metal valve is most convenient, the valve has a less than perfect seal and does not stop the hot water 100% If you only need heat seasonally and maximum A/C the rest of the time I get best results using a manual ball valve for complete sealing. The original electric...

    Soft Top Frustration M1123

    Post a picture of your center cross bow. I'm wondering if maybe you got yourself an ambulance cross bow which is way too tall

    Soft Top Frustration M1123

    You may have your top's rear grommets fastened one stud over from center? I cant see it even fitting this way but its just a thought

    Soft Top Frustration M1123

    Start by making sure the top is tight along the top of the B-pillar. You need to remove the upper seat belt attachment and pad assembly first. You aren't missing any of the twist locks and they are in the correct place. The front and rear grommets attach to the same (lower) twist lock stud...

    This is what ive done on my current truck. Old style manual valve and cable actuator.

    Soft Top Frustration M1123

    Two small screws to clamp lower clamp plate. When reinstalling notice how the pad assembly hooks around the back of the B-pillar on that ridge

    Soft Top Frustration M1123

    Did you remove the upper seat belt bolt and that pad assembly? That has to come off to install that flap. Remove the seat belt bolt. you will see two small screw heads...loosen but dont remove them. Now the pad assembly slides down and off. Now wrap and fasten top flap. Reinstall pad assembly...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Kinda curious why the red cross would be a problem. I would be more worried about peoples paranoid reaction to the muslim crescent symbol. Do you think people would expect you to respond to an accident or take them to a hospital?
