Can't always go by the data plate. It's a good start.
They should be riveted in place not just stuck on with the adhesive on the back.
Also the rivets should show there age.
My question is why the guy that is selling it doesn't know what it is?
How did he buy it or acquire it?
It must not have...
Will it's like Caution tape.
Everyone knows what it means but still 95% of people don't think it applies to them.
After all they can step over it or duck under it.
They can't explain why they crossed it after they did. They look at you like why you getting upset at me , and who are you to tell...
Sadly I think the recent release of the HMMWV's again through GP is what started the whole mess for all FMV's nation wide.
Some HMMWV's from the early Auction in the 90's got out and many got registered for the road.
So they put an end to it by changing the de-mil code. Thinking that will keep...
So it doesn't have anything to do with ones that were sold as off highway only stamped on the paperwork from Gov planet
in recent years?
Kind of sucks that they issued plates then changed their mind.
Have a friend with a Pinz they did that to. But I think he only had the plates a week and they...
What 86 said and a soft top A pillar ( windshield Frame) has rubber bumpers on the outside / front of it and hinges to allow it to fold down.
Slant back A frame wont have the bumpers .
What engine is in your HMMWV?
What alternator is in it. 100 amp dual voltage ? 200 amp dual voltage
What TCU are you using?
Aftermarket or military?
Where is the TCU getting it's power from?
If OEM have you checked the breaker in the foot well of the rear passenger area ?
How old are the...
I'd like to nominate your adjustable seat back design for most unique and down right ingenious upgrade .
It should come standard from the manufacturer.
I salute your ingenuity and willingness to share your design.
You should market them before I copy it.

I'd start with a title and registration for the road.
If you can't get that in your state then your not going to have to worry about the street worthy part.
For a soft top ?
or a hard top ? with or without turret support?
If soft top you should be able to find one for less then $400
Standard slant back C pillar tubes don't actually have any bends in them . They are however crushed or flattened in spots.
If your going to try and copy a OEM...
Normally soft top HMMWV also had soft doors at least when issued.
Normally trucks with a hard tops had what are referred to as X doors.
They were on the early weapons carrier trucks. both used the same hinges ( two ) but the striker was different between the soft and hard doors)
Over the years...
You will find member 86humv very helpful when trying to locate parts at a reasonable price.
Some new some used but in good shape.
Sorry got a chuckle out of the "need it fixed quick and also need to save money" part while talking about a HMMWV
Do you have a dual voltage alternator in it?
What size?
The 4l80e will need a trans controller
You need to decide if your going to try and keep it all original using the military Trans controller or an aftermarket.
Both require 12 volts.
Your 6.5 NA may already have the 200 amp dual voltage...

Part # is D52890
