    Drivers seat floor supports

    Could you just have some flat stock cut and drill your own holes? You could actually make them wider, thicker, and beefier that the oe. on a 5 ton when I installed global air ride seats, I just made my own supports underneath cab.

    Parking brake install

    Replacing is easy. Also order a new mounting rubber seal. Mine was shot. Put in rivnuts and it will make it easier if you ever need to remove. A very worth while safety upgrade. Even where I live, my truck rolled in my driveway in flat land. Very easy to bump and disengage original design.

    cooling system spring cleaning

    Don't forget to turn the heater on and get the nasties from there also. I would recommend plumbing in a universal coolant filter spin on. Well worth the extra trouble in my opinion. It can have chemical or not. That is up to you if you want to test.

    Electrical gremlins

    Did you test the batteries before you replaced the alt? I have a feeling you had multiple issues with bad batteries being one. If you had bad batteries, put in a new alt, the old batteries have released the magic smoke.....

    Hmmwv a-arm bolts.

    Go with longer as it makes it easier. If using a mile marker, then reverse the direction- Screw one in while pulling the old one out. Jack up to take weight off, makes it a breeze.

    HMMWV Front Shackle mount/Tow Point dimensions

    Actually just recently saw a jeep that did that. Caught my eye as they painted the shackle red. That shackle looks familiar......right down to the bolt and nut to hold it on.

    Best aerosol available similar to tan canvas top color.

    I would say find the closest match. There is at least 2 variations of tan out there maybe due to water based carc or different suppliers. Some are more tan and others more yellow if that makes sense?

    MRAP gauges in a 998?

    Most of the surplus panels I have seen are electric gauges so you will need to also source sending units and the adapters if the wrong thread. Good news is most are already 24v. If the guages are the same diameter and you can get complete systems, go for it. Water, oil, voltage would be the...

    going to Florida to pick up my M813

    That design is pure garbage. make sure it is not leaking. No reason to have broken the other Belts. Simple v belt with adjustment. The water pump belt is not the most common. Might want to carry spare. Others are common items in real part stores.

    Grinding sound when brakes applied right rear area humvee

    The caliper with the emergency brake cable set up is made by amg and not available aftermarket nor the rebuild kit to my knowledge. Only through authorized amg dealers or surplus.

    Grinding sound when brakes applied right rear area humvee

    That is not a civy item for a rebuild kit. Caliper or seal kit are amg mil items.
