The ones I had measured were from Letterkenny builds that were pre-MSG variants. I may be swapping them out soon enough for your full length versions.

How thick are they? The real ones used on the GMV's are 3/8" steel, which may be overkill as a jack rail/cowl protection - but yours look a good bit thinner. I've got 86humv's rails on my GMV and they have been outstanding as well.

Antenna mount. Instead of reviving a dead post for something not totally relevant to it - consider starting a new thread introducing yourself and telling us about your truck. I'm sure you'll get plenty of answers there for any other questions that you might have regarding the new acquisition.

I made that comment and I agree that you certainly could make it using a old/busted shafts, but I personally look at those kits as something to get you out of a pinch or back to civilization and not as something to get you by on a road-trip until you feel like putting a new shaft in. I mean...

My bad -thanks for the correction!

I've done several backwoods traverse trips with my trucks so far. It wasn't the middle of nowhere, like Moab or anything like that out west, but it was far enough removed and in difficult enough terrain that recovery by anyone other than myself or the other mil vehicles that were with me would...

- While the slantback design does allow increased visibility, it's primary purpose was to minimize the affects of backblast when shooting a TOW missile. - The original (M1025 style) slantbacks are steel with current (M1114's, etc) being aluminum.

Search "1000D water repellent cordura" on the auction site and you'll have a ton of options.

As mentioned elsewhere - it's obvious that you're seeking a consensus on an opinion that matches your own. Stop dancing around it and just do it if you want to use it that bad. Well respected people here and elsewhere have warned you of the potential danger, others have as well and have...

While I'll be the first one to acknowledge that the military specified tow-ratings are as low as they are so that they can account for off-highway or cross-country towing, I like to apply the 98% rule to anything over that. 98% of the time, you'll probably be just fine - it's the remaining 2%...

While I don't disagree that he should look long and hard about really wanting a slantback, it's not for the reasons you suggest. Let's face it, when most of the uninformed public thinks of a HMMWV, they tend to think of one with a slanted rear end and a machine gun on top, so for many it's just...

I had mine in our local 4th of July parade with 2 other HMMWV's plus a HMMWV from the local Reserve center - our trucks were way nicer but no doubt they aren't run nearly as hard anymore. The below pic is from our local newspaper - that's my GMV up front. We vastly underestimated the candy...

Given that your options are not carrying a spare at all, or storing it somewhere in the vehicle (on top is pretty much a no-go with softtops), I think the bumper mount is the way to go. It's secured to the vehicle and with the Rhino, lifting/lowering the 160# tire is done with the carrier itself...

What they're listed for and what they sell for are entirely different. The market price on x-doors peaked about 8-12 months ago where yes, $2000+ dollars wasn't uncommon, but it's somewhat relaxed again. The days of $800 a set are long gone - but definitely not $2500 a set. Anyone who pays that...

Where the heck are you finding crappy, falling apart x-doors for $2500? Most anymore that actuall sell are sub $2k and aren't all that bad. Sure there are ones that have seen better days, but they sure as heck aren't $2500. As for your doors. I've yet to see a new-man door that is as stiff and...

The seats don't come padded. A 3" thick 16"x16" gel wheelchair cushion fits very nicely though and is pretty comfy. I'll have to make the back cushions for them and hope that I can get to it this weekend.

Here you guys are going for all these cushy seats and I've taken a step backwards by going with the armored seats :mrgreen:

I really like that idea, I may have to do that myself......

What MILSPRAY says could be true, or it could be clever marketing claims, but notice that nowhere in the marketing claims did it say anything about color match or anything like that. The Military has a genuine need for signature reducing products, etc. but note that colors have different or...

The problem I've seen for touch-ups of the original paint is that the CARC is faded to such varying degrees, finding something that matches 100% all of the time isn't an easy task. The pic below is of an armored GMV door that I recently took apart. If you look through the dirt, you can see what...
