Replaced my six crumbled blue ones with these three years ago. Still as new.

They remain good as new. Full disclosure; have added only two hundred street miles since installation of the six body mounts.

The complete ratchet assembly is available at Tractor Supply.

Since installing fixed position windows in both rear doors, no window tracks exist for inside door handle assembly attachment. Rectified that by making attachment brackets from 2” angle aluminum, sourced at Home Depot. Only couple hours start to finish with hand tools and 10/24 fasteners...

I obtained a NOS Ibis Tek bumper 2 years ago. Certainly better to have up front than stock alternatives. However, I don’t intend to test its efficacy any more than I willfully plan to test the truck’s DWF capability! I also added a pintle extension in the rear for additional protection in the...

Removed vent line valve and found it to be completed clogged. Truck now runs fine. Will change out the fuel tank when I run out of other things more important to complete at the moment. Thanks to all for your input.

Thank you for the suggestion but the forklift scratches are superficial and two years old. The tank collapsed just a few days ago.

I have a NOS fuel tank to replace it with, but still need to determine the cause. Will start by inspecting the vent line as suggested by Coug. No doubt the fuel pump is a good one, as CAMO said. One thing for sure…the entire fuel system is air tight! This is one for the books if even Steve/RWH...

Experienced “fuel starvation” symptom of reduced power requiring increased throttle to maintain speed. Was able to make the trip back to my shop, but just barely. Humvee still starts immediately, idles without a problem. Was looking under the truck today and much to my surprise, noticed the fuel...

Fabricated fixed position windows and frames for my rear doors this weekend. Used 1/2” polycarbonate and 1 1/2” aluminum angle, 3/16” holes, 1/8” flat rubber for a seal on both sides of poly. Front doors have operable windows also made from 1/2” polycarbonate. Doors and door jambs are still a...

Conversion of 1152A1 to 4 door still in progress. Rear doors fitted with continuous hinges today. Doors were fabricated by Joe at TwistedMetalworks. Also installed Jeremy Johnson running board/rail sliders. Jeremy is certainly a master of metal fabrication.

I can’t identify all of it, but this much for sure; 1) Sandwich size zip lock bag. My friend wishes he had these zip -locks in the late sixties. He had to fold baggies over and lick to seal in his personal use agricultural contents. 2) Possible freezer size zip lock baggie. Would have held...

Won’t need DWF, probably floats! 😳
