While I appreciate this and this is something that I will do, I need an initial inspection from an experienced eye making sure I do t have a throttle that sticks or faulty brakes etc. The rest I will pick up in time. I've worked on plenty of cars but I still want the eye of someone who does this...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good shop in Southern California. I want to have a thorough initial inspection done when this truck is finally released and I receive it. I'd like to send it to RW but he's way up North. Any recommendations?

Hmmmm... They haven't had slant backs for sale out of California in over a year. Interesting as GP is now increasing their fees for each item sold. Maybe they will start moving these in anticipation of higher sales prices so they can make more money off their fees. I wonder how much longer...

Got boarded and was out that way so I took a quick trip to Yermo to GP site today. Couldn't see too much from the service road but I did get a glimpse of what they have on the lot. Don't know if they will go to auction or if they are headed to our allies overseas. I never see these models in...

I believe this is for the rear hatch. As Tobash mentioned its good to keep the hatch locked from the outside.

"This listing is for ONE Flush Latch PN 34-4974-51x NSN 5340-01-259-8600 This is the Latch for the Cargo Hatch on all of the Slant Backs for all of the models of the Humvee that have a Slant Back Roof. This handle is unique to all others in that it is a locking handle with 2 keys included. No...

Sure, its called 'Split Builds'. Dude starts from the very beginning of picking it up from GP Auction to where it is now.

This is what I saw 'MLC' on the back of the one I had. I included a screen shot.

Ok, I figured it out. The one with the 'MLC' is not OEM but American made. The tell tell sign is the MLC on the back and the curved mirror adjustment beacket at the bottom. Vendor said they have sold 100s of these pairs over the years with no complaints. One is OEM and one is aftermarket. They...

As you can see lots of overspray. Plus there is 'MLC' on the back of one of the mirrors. Anyone know what that is? On 2nd thought I think the one with the MLC is legit.

Thanks. So I bought these from one of the well known hmmwv parts dealers who sold them as OEM: These smell like fresh paint.

Apparently, there are a lot of fake Chinese crap out there being passed around as authentic hmmwv am general side mirrors. I have a couple of questions. How can a person tell OEM mirrors from aftermarket nonsense? Aren't the mounting brackets made of metal on the OEM mirrors? If so, is it steel...

How does the C pillar look on your truck? Curious to know. Do you also have a turret installed?

The rear tube is the c pillar. I understand for the turret that B pillar has to come out but it's still a steel roll bar correct?

Isn't that the c pillar in the back or is there a different one for the turret?

Would I need windshield brackets or were they removed in the demil process?

Ahhh, I see.

Where did you find the keyed ignition switch? I bought the Fuel Cut-Off switch kit from Black Dog Customs for added security. I think I like this more than the regular key ignition you see all over the internet which people say is an electrical risk to the vehicle.

This is a pretty fair price for a complete turret. However, there are a couple of items I believe you say are missing, such as the C Pillar (which is hard to find) and the window brackets. Not sure if I need the window bracket as my truck is also a TOW Hmmwv. But I am not certain.

The vehicle is straight forward to service. Can it be a pain in the ass, I would imagine so, but so can others. I dont know if you've ever had to deal with porsche's, mercedes, or BMWs but they too are a pain in the ass with a bunch of proprietary bullshit. Entry point for one of these...
