    Armoured grille -engine temp

    Ok. That’s for the input guys. Worst case I swap it back I guess. The thought that they ran them in the desert had occurred to me, but they also give no f&$@s about money, or ruining a truck, etc and I do. Lol

    Gap with tire carrier.

    So if I mount the spare tire carrier over the mudflap hanger as it shows in all the images, I assume I use washers on the other side, there’s a small gap between bumper and tire carrier base? Thanks guys.

    Ballistic windshield in regular hard top frame

They do not fit into the lower built in retainer for the bottom of the glass. And up top there’s a...

    M1165 lower windshield retainer

    What if you want to go the other way? mount the ballistic 3/4” glass in a regular window frame? What needs to be changed for the bottom? The top and centre are obvious. Thanks!

    Cargo shell nets….

    Could someone show me all the mounting points for the triangular cargo shell nets. I see on the sponson there are two spots for loops, but these are the only two I can figure out. Thanks in advance.

    How it started, how it’s going.

    I have the baseplate for interior. I likely won’t get middle racks, as it takes what usefulness the truck has away. Lol I am tracking down a deactivated M2 for the top tho. Hah

    Brake noise

    I chamfered the edges, but not a lot. Not sure if that could be it too. Any help getting a visual or link on these backers would be great, I am currently searching.

    Brake noise

    Also looking at the yokes mounted to the diff, they don’t seem grooved or anything to cause this amount of slop. And I foresee trouble getting the bolts out of the aluminum housing. Lol Everything is OEM from HPG
