Oof yea almost forgot about that, I guess we'll see what mine takes. Does anyone know if the SF97s are dependent on strictly GovPlanet? Or do they have to wait on a government agency?

Just dropping this here: Submitted EUC: June 1st Approved: June 15th Recent EUC times are about 2 weeks from what I've heard, always exceptions but my case is crazy fast luckily.

Heya! I'm doing the thing where you look at every pixel of every image on the govplanet listing while you wait for the EUC to clear. I'm starting on the door / turret hole cover plans, but I think I need some insight from some of the more experienced folks here. This is an M1043A2 Slantback...

@Coug Thank you for confirming!

The two I bought are an M1123 and an M1043A2. Both seemingly show evidence of being previously up-armored per the holes on the body.

And @Mogman yep that's the plan, there's a tooon of loose gear floating around in them based on the pictures. So my goal is to have the shipper make sure everything's secured.

Alright so I lied, I actually bought two, and as I'm sifting through photos of the other one, I see it also has those brackets. I tried to google around to see if I could find pictures of other humvees with them, but I can't really find much. I'll go with the idea that it was probably...

Mine does have the holes across the body that indicate there was armor on it at some point, so that could be the case. I'll see if I can do some more digging but you may be right.

Hey everyone, been sifting through pictures of a humvee I bought on govplanet. I'm trying to figure out what a strange looking bracket is for in the pictures. Anyone know what bracket in the attached photo is? It looks like there are bolts just sticking through without any nuts on them.

Thank you all for the great recommendations! Been busy the past few days so I just got around to checking back in here. I've put an order in already for a few spare eccentric bolts, and I will be completely removing and cleaning the remaining ones as I do them. Those exploded view diagrams...

Hi All, I'm going through a complete brake system re-do on my truck. Bought all new parts for almost everything, trying to ensure that it is as safe as can possibly be. I have run into an issue however, and I might need a few ideas. After loosening the 1 1/8" nuts on the adjusters for one of...

Actually thank you for bringing that up, I was going to a bit back but the drain valve was rusted and the little handle broke off. I'll find a way to open and drain it, obviously I'll have to find a replacement valve. Does anyone have any recommendations for a more modern style of valve that'll...

Thank you for everyone's input. My truck has some slight surging that comes and goes every now and then. This might be related but I think I might leave it until i replace the primary fuel filter. I've replaced the secondary and final but haven't had a chance for the primary yet. The truck runs...

Hi All, I found this a few weeks ago on my truck, just getting around to asking about it. I definitely haven't hit anything that could bend this line this badly. Someone must've somehow messed it up before I got my truck, any recommendations on how I can go about unbending or just completely...

Thank you 3rdmdqm. A friend of a friend was able to cut the glass for me. At first, he said it would cost ~ $50 per pane, after he saw what it was for he wanted to contribute to my restoration effort and just gave me the glass haha. It's fairly common glass and should be available at a standard...

Finally you can install the windshield, the screws used to install the windshield to the top part of the window frame are 10-32. Let me know if you have any questions or would like more pictures! Anyone with more glass experience is welcome to chime in, this was my first time doing such a...

After waiting a few days for the urethane to cure, you'll have to install the outer seal for the window. These can be ordered from most of the surplus dealers, I ordered mine from Big Mike. These can be a bit of a bear to install and seat into the outer edge. It may sound stupid but I found...

This is the difficult part. Grab an assistant and begin to seal all 8 outer edges with the urethane sealant/adhesive. Do not worry if your glass wiggles a bit in the frame, the urethane will completely solve that. This stuff is super thick and difficult to squeeze from a caulk gun. I attached...

Next I slid the glass into the bottom part of the frame, with the rubber strips on the bottom and sides, it lined up well with very little wiggle room. After sliding the glass into the frame, very very carefully add the cross piece to the top of the frame. If it doesn't want to go on nicely...

Time to set the glass into the bottom portion of the frame. I put a bit of the urethane on the parts where the rubber didn't cover. For the top cross piece, put a couple beads of urethane into the channel first, then lay the rubber strips. Before even making anything final on the top...
