    Waterproofing 1165 top

    I got my truck over the weekend. It’s been raining and all four seats are soaked. I wasn’t expecting it to be 100% dry but I was expecting it to be somewhat dry! anyone have any ideas? Can you use seam sealer around the turret? What about filling gaps at the rear corners? Better drip edge...

    Harbor Freight Purple HVLP mod

    And that’s the purple one? It’s 1.4mm. Do you have to thin it? I’ve never used a spray gun and when I have tried I totally failed

    Harbor Freight Purple HVLP mod

    I am looking at these guns. What tip size do you need for CARC substitute? Probably that Gillsepie brand? And maybe some clearcoat. They have 1.4mm 1.7mm 1.8mm 2mm.... And what would be considered a "heavy grade airless coatings gun"

    Tire talk

    I emailed Mickey Thompson about their Baja tire and they said it wasn’t tested/rated. this tire came up and the price is tempting, but also because it’s a 10ply E2 load range. Most others at C range. Just wish the tread was more aggressive...

    First HMMWV, is there something I should replace before hitting the trails?

    All these filters should be right at my local auto parts store right? There’s not some magic to a military filter or gasket that I need special? Asking because I’m a noob.

    First HMMWV, is there something I should replace before hitting the trails?

    ok- I was in TB-9-2320-335-13&P. Parts manual for the 11xx trucks. Is that book just an add on to the other parts TMs?? Basically - which ones should i download to my computer so I can “find on page” what I need in PDF form?!?!? I have the 3 volumes on unit maintenance, the 11xx series...

    First HMMWV, is there something I should replace before hitting the trails?

    I’ve been waiting for mine and have a bunch of questions too. I’d hope every bit and bolt on this thing are SAE !? What level respirator do you need for sanding the CARC Paint!? I’ve been looking through the TMs —things seem hard to find. I found the lubrication table with capacities of...

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    I didn’t realize that was an OEM item- guess I thought it was custom.

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    I’m not in Alaska, so I’ll try to find someone near me. Just wondered if anyone made a window

    Interesting. I’ve never heard of such a thing and researching it, I can’t find any info on the tires I was considering at all

    I’m failing to see any mention of how hard or soft the rubber is on a particular tire. You’d think that would get some kind of rating

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    Any idea if they make custom sizes? Is that hard to find?

    What RV manufacturer are you near? I have an m1165 coming soon(!!!) and I want to get a window made for the rear wall.

    After market seats or alternate seats for HMMWV / m998 ?

    Has anyone tried a seat similar to the Smittybuilt- but with a headrest? Bad neck and back demands a headrest!

    What about load rating? Any brand have harder rubber that lasts longer?

    I just got off the phone with CSM army tires, they have lots of stock options but older date codes. Does that really matter tho? If they were mounted on a truck maybe, but NOS and stored in a warehouse??

    Tire talk

    I search the forums and surprisingly didn’t find much discussion on aftermarket tires. I’d love some input on brands, tread wear, weight ratings, on/off road performance etc. I am looking for a 38-40” tire. Preferably something with a higher load rating and something that will wear like...
