The troop seats do have those two lengths of U shaped brackets underneath to help distribute the weight.
Some of the 4 man A2 and ECV trucks being sold on GP have a reinforcement plate on top the rear fenders, some with MFC/MWC brackets, some with the old style 81mm M821 HE brown aluminum ammo...
There was an alteration done to some of the SOCOM GMV M1025A2 trucks, the horizontal B Pillar was trimmed then a milled or stamped aluminum piece was welded in place, in order to give the Operator more leg room when using the SOCOM-unique IED resistant seats:
Blue Ox (William) makes a 4 man C Pillar Curtain with the center section fitted with zippers, to roll up then tie out of the way for longer loads, pup to pass through etc. Blue Ox Tops | Facebook
Might be a simpler solution to cutting on a fiberglass rollup door.
Yes sir that's the H1 style compressor shelf. One of my original GMVs came with it. Another fellow made copies. If the Tuber is willing to sell it at a price that is acceptable, go for it. I think even the aluminum plate copies were a few hundred bucks. Here's most of the air...
My first privately owned HMMWV came with a thick black "fall mat" a thick rubber mat used in hospitals, assisted care, etc to help protect patients if they fall out of bed. Example in Black or Light Brown (not a bad complement to Tan686) 36x60x0.5", 8 year warranty: 3' X 5' Bedside Fall...
BTW: TruckGuy and I are working on getting the label/instruction plates for the military 57K6230 Battery Cutoff Switch Kit replicated if anybody else is trying to make their own kit from the Kissling 35.553 Switch and self scrounged parts instead of paying $400-850 for the packaged AMG kit...
The old Ranger Land Rover Defender RSOV Ranger Special Operations Vehicle used a Cole-Hersee M-750 rotary battery disconnect switch that allows you to cut power from either 12v, 24v or both:

Cole Hersee also makes a...
The Special Forces GMV Humvees repurposed the bottom bracket under the flange mount to hold a twin 7.62mm 200rd Ammo Can, for the Navigator's M240 on swing arm mount and cradle:
Great timing, I scored an AN/VRC-110 power amp (and 110v to 28v power amp) for $200 locally, to use with my TCA PRC-152(U/V) radio. This antenna project of yours is the answer for proper antenna to cover the bandwidth. I want to use it both on a GMV as well as a base station in the house...
Have any of you experience removing the Intake Manifold on the 6.5l NA GEP engine block trucks? The studs and bolts I have a chart for what goes where and what needs teflon pipe sealant and what needs Loctite 272. But one of the metric bolts is shorter than the others. I'm worried I...
Hello, I am no mechanic, only a parts changer that can read the TMs and perform minor tasks.
Motorpool Gremlins hit me pretty bad in April, the alternator went, melted the red rubber boot, smoked, and killed the Smart Start Box.
While investigating I discovered this truck actually been using...
I made templates for the 5 M10XX roof insulation pieces using the remnant insulation left stuck on my roof. I have a foam saw (like a sabre saw with a bread knife blade riding up and down in a U shaped sleeve with just the teeth exposed) to cut the DB Engineering 1" vinyl faced foam.
Bump, Any updates on SF97 clearance times? I bought one truck end of October, one first week November. The EUC for the November truck cleared before the October truck. Had them picked up by jobbers in first two weeks of March. Still waiting on the SF97s.
That is rubber grommet/retainer bracket for the radio power cable pass-through into the transmission hump then into your battery box. There are just the 3 holes (2 small bolt holes, 1 large for the grommet body), you need to reach under the transmission hump with a wrench to hold the nut and...
