Looks great! What was your process? Rattle cans or what? I hope to start painting mine soon.

Basic paint prep and tons of sanding to include heavy degreaser and using a hot pressure wash. Paint and primer are single stage urethane that use catalyst and reducers then shot through a cheap Lowes HVLP gun.

Thanks for info. Looks really good. Hope mine turns out that well.

Not much to it, it’s all in the prep. If you see something questionable, fix it and don’t get in a hurry when spraying, it might take several applications to avoid runs. You got this!

How did your HMMWV look on arrival? Progress?

It started right up and drives but pulls to the right, someone local is going to show me how to align it. Alternator rattles a bit but other than that I’ve still been driving it after a full lube up. Need to figure out why the heater doesn’t blow on the drivers side floor because that will hurt my ability to drive it in winter.

Address the alt ASAP, usually loose and or broken bolts.

I would like to correct something here. This is not a list of TM's you need to work on the truck. This is a list of MWO's, (Modification Work Orders) that has been applied to the truck.

All those TM numbers you see should be the TM's you will want to use when working on your 1097.

Did some painting on the 1097

Nice job on the painting. Did you do much prep work? What kind of paint did you use?

My bad. Slow internet didn’t allow me to see your responses.

I just noticed this tag when looking at other MWV’s. This is a 1987 M998 (I may have the year of manufacture wrong) that went through the program in 2009 and was then given the M1097R1 model. They call it a 1987 M1097R1.

Thats a lot like mine it's a 91 that they redid in 2012. Even has the tag like yours on it. Makes me wonder at a certain point say 20 years old if they undergo a upgrade or get rid of kind a deal.
