    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    I bought these rear striker plates for the same issue. Hoping these will work!

    HMMWV Doors/ Tops

    Doesn’t come with striker mounting hardware either. Just the strikers themselves. Same situation here. Rivets not done well. For 1k a door, quality should be a little better.

    M1165 issues

    Interesting. That would make sense. I’m going to give them a try next time I’m with the truck.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Took 2 inches out of those little pesky armor fording exhaust… installed rain rails in place of the flying nun… windshield installation and new fording intake bracket!

    M1165 issues

    Update. No idea why the hood isn’t centered. Everything looks right. Spacing on the ECV grill looks even on both sides. Going to just bore out the bracket holes to slide it 1/4 inch and call it a day… LOL as for the hinge bolts. Still no idea what’s going on. The threads look pristine because...

    M1165 issues

    You know what. I don’t think it is. It’s getting stuck on the air filter box and the hood holder upper (LOL) doesn’t catch correctly. I will look tomorrow, good call!

    M1165 issues

    I have. They thread no problem for the a pillar, but not the b pillar. It was a formally armored truck as you can see so not sure if that has to do with it From western Kentucky surplus

    M1165 issues

    Few issues while working on the 1165 today! For the female door hinges, the standard hinge bolt does not want to thread in. I’m convinced it’s a totally different thread. Has anyone figured this one out? And second, the center hood bumper is totally misaligned. Does the armor hood bumper...

    M1165 lower windshield retainer

    For those of you who have formally up-armored trucks. When you replaced the windshields, is there a lower windshield retainer? I spoke with Craig at mac motors and he helped me get the proper ECV retainers for the center and top/sides. But I’m wondering if the ECV trucks are supposed to have...

    Rotted headliner removal.

    There are guys that sell neoprene water jet cut set for like 400$… but even that is insane to me. Need a good alternative for under 200$

    x-door body reinforcements needed?

    I just got a set of western Kentucky surplus hard doors and MAN ARE THEY HEAVY. I have a de-mil m1165, and the front door hinge reinforcement component was left in the truck. I have removed them as the threads for the standard door hinges still exist. For those of you with x-doors, is the body...
