Wanted to say thanks to hmmwv1 for this thread, and TNriverjet for the tach (got it from you off another site.) Got mine wired up this past weekend and it works great at idle. Didn't get to take it up to speed due to another issue. I wired mine the same as hmmwv1 to the tach drive, but ran...

After seeing how these mounts are pretty much non existant, and the added benefit of a full rear bumper, I've decided to pony up for one. Took a few hours of searching around and making a scribbled mess on a piece of paper with all the part numbers and prices, but at least have a bumper and...

http://www.rhinolift.com/pdfs/RICO%20HMMWV%20Literature.pdf Has anyone ever seen the non bumper mount kits for sale or in the wild? I can't tell from the first picture what the kit entails, or if it would be hard to fabricate mounts for a Rhino or Ibis Tek tire carrier and keep the orginial...

This is the tag off the hard line you have the green arrow to from my winch. Did a few searches for the various numbers, and nothing came up, but may help you when calling milemarker.

I went ahead and tried to get the 2 man bows to fit. It was obvious it would not come close after just cutting them down to height, so I cut two 2 1/2" pieces out from each side of center, and spliced it back together. I used 1/2" emt slid inside to mock it up. I may weld it back later, but...

Can anyone measure their rear bows meant for the 4 man cargo cover? I'm looking for the out-to-out dimension of the bows at the top corners. I'm assuming it would be the same as measuring the velcro connection on the rear roof, but just want to make sure before I try anything else.

Well, that's not good to hear, but was one of my fears. I was also worried about the front top corners where it velcros into the soft top. That area I can fix, but having my doubts on the back end. Guess I'll find out in a few days.

I decided to try this out as well. I took it road camping last weekend and after sleeping on the tunnel, thought the 4 man cargo cover would be a good addition so I could keep more gear and my legs dry. After looking around for the cargo kit and seeing the prices, I decided to just order a...

I painted them. They come in a zinc finish originally. I'll paint the other side of them when I get around to working on the interior of this someday. They make it in stainless as well, but cost triple for that. These are the ones I...

Wow, that looks good! You sure do some fine work.

Got the driver hi-back seat installed yesterday. Sure wish they designed these things for people over 6' tall. :wink: Need to get a larger fire extinguisher than what I have now to fit the bracket. Also got the locking door handles put in yesterday. They fit great and the holes lined up...

Hopefully someone can verify it works then. I installed it and started it up to check for leaks, but haven't driven it yet. I noticed the one I took opened at 180 and not 190 like this one.

I went off of advice I read in another thread here and told Napa it was for a 95 Hummer with the 6.5. Part Number there was 381-190. They also had the gasket for it when searching under that vehicle.

The person that painted it used new PPG Shopline Jau #1. The sticker on the can says Govt Fed Spec Code 34086 and Brand code 46008. I agree with you it is much more like the 24086. To be fair, the painter tested it on the tail gate first and I gave the go ahead on using it for the rest of the...

Had time lately, so got some work done to my project. Here it was in the 2 man configuration with some pretty obvious paint issues... Picked up some X-doors and a top, and painted the exterior in the Fed Stand #34086. It didn't come out totally matte, but should clean up easier. Got a...
