    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Found a set of IBISTEK windshield system and located a decent set of clear glass with minimal delam. Finding new is next to impossible as I istek went out of business or rather was shutdown.

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    Ok this is not the truck I posted to start the thread. Your truck is from Yermo. The truck I initially posted is from Albany, GA. But its still beautiful. its up to you to make it what you want. They are all blank canvases in my eyes. My finished truck, in my avatar, is also an m1045a2.

    So if you were going to get a parts truck and . . .

    True. However, its likely not all of those parts will be on a 3k parts truck. Those 'HRVST' trucks have alot of parts yanked off already, especially the Smart Start Box, alternator/generator, TCase, Doors are never ever on, Dash and Guages. The engine and/or tranny is likely shot which is why...

    So if you were going to get a parts truck and . . .

    It's a compelling question. One must still evaluate the true cost. Let's say you get lucky and get a parts truck for 3k. After taxes and fees what's that? $4500? Yep about that. Then there is transportation. From Yermo or Albany to wherever you live. For some of us that's quite a distance...

    Blown Turbo motors went for 3k oh my!

    It was a runner. Not everyone is mechanically inclined or are willing to spend the time sourcing parts and performing installations

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    I think we're both taking the same approach. My understanding is that the IBISTEK windshields don't interfere or require a certain set of armor to function with the standard threat doors. The std armor windshield however may be a different story.

    FRAG 7 Door Info

    It's all about cameras with monitors inside for visibility. And since we're talking armor may as well get cameras with nice nv features. I think there are a few people working on this task of reproducing the armored doors via CAD which is a great idea. The other outstanding question will be...

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    I suppose youre right. I just couldnt find the part anywhere so I didnt know if this was even something available as an individual part. I thought this is somethign that only came with certain tailgates for some reason.

    Does anyone know where I can find the tailgate strap panel

    I have looked high and low for these. I can't find one on epay or in any of the forums. It's this green panel that fastens to the tailgate and has the straps mounted to it. Please let me know if anyone has one or can locate one. Thanks

    Does the IbisTek glass look like what was posted by Eastern Surplus or is that the Std armor windshield?
