    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    ABS may not be the best option. It tends to expand and contract with temperature swings. I was actually thinking about trying to make doors out of the solid PVC sheets you can get from Home Depot. It's something like $130 for a 4x8 sheet of PVC 3/4" thick.

    Are all good trucks gone?

    1. It's a REV 2. Trucks with doors usually go for exponentially more. I think they get more attention, more watchers, and more bidders. They tend to be promoted more in govplanet's advertising as well. 3. It doesnt really need anything. Unlike most demilled trucks it actually has windshields...

    Ballistic windshield wiper extensions

    Negative, just has splines.

    Ballistic windshield wiper extensions

    It's corrosion. One of mine was really bad, I had to cut it off with a sawzall and then replace the pivot. You may have better success if you are more patient than me and use lots of penetrating oil and/or heat.

    HMMWV 6.5 Lift Pump Life

    Thats a great idea!

    center pin positive or negative on slave cable??

    I never doubted you, just couldn't resist a good pun.

    center pin positive or negative on slave cable??

    Are you positive? Just checking, not trying to be negative.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    It's amazing to me that they remove the rear doors as part of the demil process. How dare we peasants own a vehicle that can transport sick people? Meanwhile we have no problem giving away fully armored M1151's with machine guns to the Taliban and Ukraine.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    As long as the serial number is below 300xxx then you should have no problems finding parts. Above 300xxx you should also be good, with the exeption of a few items such as the fan clutch and steering box.

    What am I getting into with an auction truck?!

    Not all HMMWV's on Gov Planet are from the military. Some are from other government entities and some are even private party.

    Armor demil

    You will also have to modify the snorkel mount or get a new one for non-armored trucks, install windshield washer nozzles, and do something about the fording exhaust. The fording exhaust will stick out pretty far to make room for the armor. I just deleted mine. Oh and install normal mirrors.

    Armor demil

    Yes but on an m1151. Similar truck but slantback.

    Armor demil

    Take the roof overlay off, add "gutters" (either the official parts from AMG, or you can make them out of 6" x 1/4" aluminum sheets), buy regular windshields, the windshield retainers specifically made for the M11XX series trucks (NOT M998 ), throw on some X-doors, and fill all the holes with...

    REV truck?

    ECV's also have rear diff coolers, but they are cooled with ATF instead of coolant.

    Are all good trucks gone?

    Diesel is $6.49 in my area. People can't afford groceries, let alone buy a humvee. It's a buyers market, proceed accordingly.

    Two running M1165's were sold today under 12K. Whoever got these should be happy: https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Humvees-2007-AM-General-M1165A1-HMMWV-4-Door-Hard-Top-w%2FTruck-Body-Georgia/7955825?h=5000%2Csm%7C1%2Ck%7Cm1165%2Csort%7Cad+desc%2Cmf%7C1&rr=1&hitprm=&pnLink=yes...

    Slantback cargo door forward latch caution.

    All I can say is make 100% sure that both of the rear latches are FULLY engaged before attempting to open it from the top. If one of them is not fully engaged, the whole door will come off and you'll have a heck of a time getting it back on. Also, make sure you have both of the struts...

    REV truck?

    Yep, 258xxx serial range. From what I hear I'm actually happy to NOT have some of the REV "upgrades" and associated replacement costs.

    REV truck?

    Lol no, that was just the winning bid. Still had to pay buyers premium, tax, shipping, etc. But it was running a driving, just needed doors and paint (and random small parts).
