There is a drain plug on the bottom of the tank. It should be obvious once you look for it. Warning: drain plugs become brittle with age. You will almost certainly have to replace it.

Looks good. Mine rusted similarly and I used an exhaust coupling as a donor part to weld on and around the old seam. Held for a couple years until I replaced the powertrain.

They insured/insure my HMMWV no problem but I have heard, or seem to recall having heard, they won't accept any new applications. I could tell you where I heard that, I may be misremembering.
Can't hurt to try calling and asking, their rates are great.

Here's a thread on my design with plenty of posts from others in as well. The thread has a link to the development thread as well.

I made a tan slant back for a fellow in Maryland late 2021. I'm...
I'll be sure to contact you directly.
Are you looking for 2-man, 4-man w rear seat belt mounts or 4-man without belt mounts? I figure on making 2-man and 4-man seatbelt. I wonder how many folks have 4-man without rear belts. And what color? I've green, tan and black fabric on hand. No camo...
I'm close to having a set of rear curtain designs I am satisfied with (at least for beta testers to try out). I have some 2-man versions ready, but still have to finish the 4-man design. I don't make tops and don't plan to. Way too much sewing in one of those. You didn't ask but I'll offer that...
Interesting. I dropped off that Fecebook group he was selling in bc of too many morons in it. That was before he came out with these. Fun fact: I tried to sell my soft slant back design to WW but he didn't want it. I was developing improved rear curtains but it looks like WW beat me to it...
I was in Franconia, yes. But moved to WDBG and then Triangle. Part of getting married and consolidating, etc. At least she let me keep the HMMWV ;)

As I noted in the Northern VA thread, welcome! If you need a core 6.2L or 3L80 core, I have them in Marshall. Make you a great deal as the garage is very tired of storing them by now. Bulldigger
I'm having too-high readings come and go, getting worse just earlier this week. I think if I really had 120psi the engine would sound a LOT different. I'll check that sending unit myself, and the wires too.

On your electrical woes, and possible causes of start box issues: grounding is always a good thing to verify, and you did that so next I wonder if you checked the integrity of the positive battery wiring on the backside of the battery box? There is a post that is mounted through the battery box...
