It won't carry the weight or size of a Hmmwv.

There is a wiring guy here that makes new looms to original specs. I'll see who it is and post that.

I vote no for LED's. Vote yes for 7" H4 housings with 80/100W halogen lamps.

In a convoy, one has the support of many vehicles with supplies and assistance. Running on highways by yourself, you are at the mercy of cops, towing guys, and your own talents and abilities. Plan well, young man. It pays.

Horseless Carriage plates usually have a cutoff date in the 1920's. Historic Vehicle plates usually are for any vehicle over 25 years of age. In most states, that is.

If you have a choice, try to stay with the 'historic vehicle' (or whatever they call it) type registration. Much easier on the nerves & wallet. IN AZ, that type of plate can completely eliminate the commercial requirements. Such as Weight: 00000, NO CDL, eTc.

Has it been repowered?

There are metal channels to hold flanged rubber weatherseals, L, R. and top for both doors. One is on the windshield, the others are on the top. Are yours missing, or replaced with something incorrect? Pix would help here...
