    Replacing Exterior Bolts with Stainless

    It seems like for some of the higher end restorations, this is a common practice to do, to replace all fasteners around the exterior, engine bay, interior with stainless hardware. Trim stuff mostly - probably not the bolts that hold on the body etc. But what's the best way to go about this? To...

    Aluminum Radiator for REV Truck?

    I know Champion makes an aluminum radiator for Humvees and it seems to be a good product... but this is for earlier non-ECV/REV Humvees. The REV radiators are taller and there does not appear to be an aluminum radiator option for it?

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    It looks like the Cobratek aluminum doors are quite similar to the Aluminum ones Western Kentucky sells. I just am not a fan of the vertical sliding windows on those. How do the Western Kentucky fiberglass doors compare to OEM X fiberglass doors?

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    Nah an H1 is boring :LOL: I want a restored military truck, with some creature comforts and added refinements. I’m not looking to put in an Alpha dash with an iPad on 20s on a Power Wagon, but I do want to go a little and beyond what is just military. I personally think the M1156A1 is the best...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    I will check them out, but was hoping to find some metal doors like the H1 doors versus a composite material. Otherwise, I wonder if they are any better than the OEM Military X doors. There's also West Kentucky doors...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    Thanks all for the help! Here are a couple of pics as requested ;) @thoner7 that is unfortunate but what you had to go through on those aftermarket doors is exactly what I'm trying to avoid... aftermarket doors just seem like such a mixed bag. I either want to pony up for H1 Civilian OEM doors...

    Picked up an M1165 - Want to Restore it

    Hi All, This is my first post here so please excuse the bundle of noobie questions... I figured I'd try asking everything at once and just get them out of the way. I purchased an M1165A1 REV yesterday and am now looking to restore it and add some creature comforts to the vehicle. Starting with...
