    GMV Development

    I'm looking for some info on the development of the GMV Variant of the HMMWV for the Special Operations groups. For example, did depots start with an M998 and just add the hardtop, C-pillar and SF accessories? Or did they start with a M1025 or similar armament carrier, remove the sponsons and...

    Topless is better!

    Took the boys out west for a rabbit hunt over the weekend and decided to take the Humvee's top off. Man, I never knew this beast could go down the road so smooth! Rides much better without the rattling doors and top. Think I'll leave it off for awhile, until the snow flies maybe.

    AC Install on a Hardtop (Non-Slantback)

    Thinking about installing a Red Dot AC kit on my hardtop GMV (Not a Slantback). Has anyone has seen such a creature?

    Supplemental Armored Door Install Questions

    Hey fellas. I'm installing some supplemental armored doors on a HMMWV that previously had soft doors. The stock hinges seem flimsy with these heavy doors. Are there sturdier hinges available? I haven't been successful in finding any in the TMs. They mount and close well, but don't seal up...
