Here's what I will be using. The fuse block is a Blue Sea 6 circuit. My plan is to install the inverter in the storage compartment next to the batteries and the fuse block will be installed on the back of my switch panel/12v power outs.
Oh, I just meant that the adapter trays and terminal covers had been tasks that I had wanted done before I started installing my 12v stuff. The batteries were literally the very first things that I did when it arrived to me. It was dead on pickup and I already had the redtops ready when it...
I didn't have a lot of time tonight, so I needed a quick project. I had picked up a couple of the 6TL adapters for my Redtops and some battery terminal covers. This seemed like a good one to get done as I want to start installing my 12v equipment.
Last night I finished a rear axle replacement and rebooted the one that I removed. Even with a lift and everything coming apart pretty easy, I had almost 4 hours into the replacement and rebooting. My left rear axle had the outer boot torn on arrival.
This is my solution in the meantime: Two 1" foam pipe insulators and a piece of pine trim board. I had a 2x3 over the B pillar initially and the roof looked much better, but the velcro straps would not fit around the board and the bar. It definitely helped a little. There is still a pretty big...
I spent last night installing the Arctic Kit on the HMMWV. This weekend is pretty much the peak of foliage up here so I gave it a quick wash and took some pictures. It definitely fits pretty loose. I'm guessing this is by design as to aid with install in cold weather conditions?
Whatever the...
You are spot on. It's like having daggers stored under the seat. I was just trying to get it all together last night and make sure all of my holes lined up. Tonight it is coming back out so I can dull the edges and paint the plate.
With the exception of the the driver's seat, the install was pretty easy. Just had to drill 4 holes in the covers for the rear seats. The passenger front seat bolted right up to existing holes. The driver's seat required a bit of modification. The seat rails on the new seats were too short the...
Very easy... just 4 bolts. You'll need a 1/2" socket and 1/4" Allen wrench. Slide the seat all way back and unscrew the front bolts. Slide the seat all the way forward and undo the rear bolts. Or do it in the reverse order. Does not matter.
Done.
I installed 4 of these. They were described as MRAP seats and are quite a nice upgrade. The seats can move front to back and the seatback inclines/declines. Sorry for just the one picture. The lighting in my garage is terrible and the pictures are not coming out great. I'll snap some more off in...
I just did my front belts last night and they would not retract until I had them in position. I had to bolt in the top first, then the reel, and then the bottom. As others have said, they seem to need to be in that "just right" position.
I can't verify the front without looking in the TM, but that rear axle number is correct. I bought a NOS rear axle off ebay and got boots and bands to rebuild the one I am pulling.
