I would get something industrial and remove whatever is on it to keep it from tarnishing. Then let it tarnish. Being exterior it might tarnish green or brown.

Friend sent me these. We were wondering about the camo. It looks familiar to me but I can't place it. The tags indicate owner is a veteran.

Little late to the thread, but you've got it and that's really the most important thing. I flew 3 states away and drove mine, almost 1k miles, home in winter. I already had a set of tools for working around the house, but slowly have picked up bigger wrenches, etc. for the deuce. Not a fan of...

I'd read in a post that some people have had trouble getting CARC paint and thought I'd relay my experiences. Recently I got a McClarin helmet top and contacted their sales department about some missing parts. I also asked them about the camo paint they do and what colours they used. The...

One antenna on, one to go. Mounting a Shakespear SF-3512 (30-512 MHz) & AS-3900A (30-88 MHz). The radio will be a non-military Yaesu FT-991A mounted on a Harris shock mount tray. I'm just kind of winging it here so don't ask me questions like I know what I'm doing.

I've bought GP items in 3 states, including one with no sales tax and each time they charged the local sales tax where the yard was located. Knowing one auction didn't include sales tax made a difference in how much I was willing to bid. If you have a MT LLC and are registered with GP and...

With a more serious effort I reduced the db in my Deuce from 105 to 50.

Might want to wear a mask when you clean that stuff out. Ever heard of hanta? Stuff can kill you in 24 hrs.

Little late, but I just got X doors from WKS, and I have a helmet top from Amtec (now McClarin). Did a dry fit when they came and they fit very well. And my top was made a little crooked. Edit: I feel I should edit this reply. It should be noted that the clearances of the doors are pretty...

Any vehicle registered in any state, can be driven in any other. Getting it licensed is the easy part, getting it insured is tougher. Probably the most common state tag for humvees is Montana. You can save yourself some money and fill out and file all the forms yourself. All the forms are...

I rarely make it into this sub, generally spending my time in either the Deuce or HMMWV areas, which are what I have. Either vehicle is constantly being worked on, but I'm really hoping to have the hmmwv "done" by Spring so I can turn my attention back to the truck.

I only know what I've read. I didn't try moving it myself, and took the manufacturer at their word Legacy 4 Door - McClarin Composites Keep in mind, the crated weight is over 800 lbs. The one in the picture, in the link is the model I have, except I only have the toolbox on the driver's...

IF you have a shop capable of doing a swap (you'll need space (covered) for longer than you'll expect and something like a forklift or a tractor, and at least 1 helper, though not all the time), expect to spend a few (or several) thousand on top of whatever your 6BT engine cost is because of...

Unless you're made of money, the fuel savings on the Deuce vs a 5 ton is substantial. I have taken my Deuce on a few (500+ miles) trips, and have been prepping it for world travel. Also, once you move into the 5 ton area, you may run into CDL issues. The only real caveat I have on the Deuce...

It's over 400 lbs, according to the manufacturer. That's a pretty serious lift.
