Welcome! I am partial to the gen 1 HMMWV's too, having one as my only experience with green iron.State Farm insured mine. My 5 ton is with Gulfway out of Fl.
We are working on the bill as you know. Hopefully good things will happen....
The triangle data plates are for MWO. Updates done since it was built. That ones appears to be for 3pt seat belts:

Zev - GoldnEagle might have a tire in Slidell. Send him a PM.
Post pictures of both sides of your bumper numbers and some of the members here are very good at deciphering.
Is that bracket on both sides of the tailgate?
I suspect maybe the brackets are for combat Id panels but I have never seen them in the rear. I have seen special brackets on the hood & brush guard, and seen them on sides but I think that might be just velcro.Thanks guys. The brackets near the tailgate are on both sides. If you look closely at the picture you can see a Velcro strip in there.
Ordered a tranny filter today and picked up an oil filter. Hubs, diffs and cooling system are next.
I just finished building and installing a ground kit. It did NOT cure my flickering headlights or change the pulsing wait to start light. It starts right up so no big deal yet.
44 Medical Brigade, 4th Combat Support Hospital. That thing should be a cherry!It does have a tag. I'll get a pic and post it. Maybe someone can tell me what it means
I went for a couple of short 15 minute test drives this afternoon. Drives and shifts nice. Does not leak anything so far. All the gauges and lights work.
It has three Wranglers and one BF Goodrich so that has to change but I can let go of the steering wheel at 45 and it tracks straight.
Does anyone know what the stenciling on the front and back means?
I am pretty pleased so far being this thing was 15 minutes away. My wife told me about it!!!
Brackets are for convoy signs. “Convoy Ahead” or even signs in Arabic telling Hajjis( oops, ‘local nationals’)Thanks guys. The brackets near the tailgate are on both sides. If you look closely at the picture you can see a Velcro strip in there.

The headlights will pulse bright/dim for a few, after starting. The volt meter will also move back and forth.Thanks guys. The brackets near the tailgate are on both sides. If you look closely at the picture you can see a Velcro strip in there.

That headlight pulsing and volt meter swing is electrical load caused by afterglow on the glowplugs, as an aid to keeping it running until it gets warm.The headlights will pulse bright/dim for a few, after starting. The volt meter will also move back and forth.
You probably have thos brackets on the fender sides, above the rear tires?
