    FRAG 7 Door Info

    The shot of the thickness actually helps a lot too, fantastic.

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    Haven’t come across these yet, that’s a really good shot of the interior mechanisms and seals. Thanks for looking out!

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    The armored window frames don't seem to be tooooo sparse on the internet just yet, so just getting those NOS or used for now. I still haven't figured out how I want to go about the actual door and measurements for it yet, will see how picky I can be with regards to how accurate to the originals...

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    Given that the name is standard threat, does that mean they are included on all new humvees being delivered to the branches? I know that soft doors are no longer being made and I think x-doors are also being phased out of production, though don't quote me on that. Trying to find the outline of...

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    Oh I see what you mean I think, I'm assuming standard threat is the one without the supplemental armor plating around the doors and the less-curvy contour design? Searching through the TMs for "frag" is quite extensive heh

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    Alright I found some outlines in a PDF, though they aren't the roller-window style, anyone lucky enough to have a set able to measure the height? I can probably extrapolate the rest, a flat piece of metal can't be that bad right? 😂 I attached images of 2 door sets, they're both slightly...

    Greetings from IL! Happy to help with questions as well if you've got any, got my first truck back in June of last year and have been working on 3 since then lol. No lack of things to learn with these toys :P P.S. - Govplanet is a very very dangerous place to go when you see they've added more...

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    Thanks for clarifying that @Retiredwarhorses To put it simply, I was looking at the door design on my deuce and it spawned an idea. Frag doors are pretty thick due to the armor, and I really don’t care for the armor, though it would be cool to have. I’m poking the idea of a door that looks...

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    Heya everyone, looking to see if anyone has a side drawing of the frag 7 doors along with dimensions. Probably a long shot but worth asking. Poking an idea here and would like to see the feasibility.

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    Lol I’ve got all the parts ready to go, new lines, new fittings, new spin on filter adapters, just missing a new pump from Fass. Been putting it off too long :P Definitely got a backlog of projects, at least my 1043 is almost where I want it hehe Got an 1151 in the works I’ll likely start a...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    On today’s episode of how not to use your tools, I present: Removing The Old Axle Seals The only way to really get these out was to start with a small wrench wedged behind the seal (13mm) and work up to a 17mm whilst hammering the other side of the wrench to pry everything out. I’m sure there...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    Embarked on a quick little side project while I wait for brake pads and diff seals. Also re-torqued the caliper mount bolts to 140ft lbs with the diff flanges off this time and used red loctite. Made myself one of two ammo can holders that will be on each side of my coupla, figure it’d bulk up...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    Noticed that my front right brake caliper had become loose during an inspection, so here I am now: - Front right caliper loose - I noticed the half shaft was wet and smelled of gear oil after removing it - Decided to yank both sides of the differential completely and just replace the star seals...

    Humvee floor mats

    Exactly what I did, worked great. I was trying to cut in one pass at first but that wasn’t gonna happen.

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Oh you painted the truck using their rattle cans? Was it practical/easy enough? I have some reservations against rattle cans to paint a vehicle but if it works well then I wouldn't mind giving it a go, I know my finger gets tired holding the cans usually :P I was planning on getting some form...

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    So on the topic of paint, what have y'all decided on what you want to do for the doors/truck in general? I'm stuck between doing: 1: Rapco 383 Green, Rapco, 383 Brown, Rapco 911 Flat Black 2: Behr Paint (Haven't dug up what the paint codes would be for the standard woodland camo) The things...

    Humvee floor mats

    Heh that’s some dense rubber then, the smaller ones were already enough of a pain with a razor blade but the large one sounds like a task

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Did a rain test today on the doors, no leaks coming from them really, had it outside all day with light rain. They don’t all form a complete seal on the top part but the little rain ledge on my roof keeps water away there. Only real leaks I saw were from my turret hatch, nothing major just have...
