    Looking to guage intrest in making half doors with hardware

    Hello all, I realize there are other threads out there about half doors and other members making them. What I am inquiring about is if there would be interest to a complete set of half doors that are one off of the original type. What I am designing would be a 1/4" thick aluminum door with a...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    :ditto::ditto: We still use them in and around fort Bragg and NC. Just about anything witht wheels has them. It must just be a location thing.

    Lol. I've got that kind of relationship with a few of my tools. Most of the time were cool, but then we can cuss at each other. Its radio frequency indentification. Its used to keep track of equipment when it's moving around and overseas. In fact it's the same technology that is in the little...

    Ted. Do you still have any of the 78" bars? And what are your prices on either kit?

    I like it. My wife on the other hand.... lol But think it will be good if I ever decide to add the cargo cover and want to keep things in their place. And you can mount it on either side of the curtain. I just preferred it to be covered up unless the curtain is raised.

    Dual whip antennas & parts needed for installation

    The bottom photo looks like the antenna to signal jammer equipment. I cant recall the name of it, but it has been used widely through the middle east for obvious reasons. As far as availability...even the whip antennas are not supposed to be sold any longer according to DLA. The last time I...

    My 1987 M998 "restoration"

    Thank you very much! I like Lumberton, even if the crime is as bad as they claim. My family has been here for over 200 years. I'm still working at the noise, but I'm not digging into it as much anymore. I plan to keep this truck for years and enjoy it.

    My 1987 M998 "restoration"

    Iron clad works, it just needs to be a legitimate issue, and you must have realistic expectations if you do end up using it. You cant expect to get 5k for a new motor when you only spent 7.5k on the truck at auction. All of these trucks came as green/ woodland camo when new. so just about all...

    My 1987 M998 "restoration"

    I did do a little sanding but not much. I didn't want to disturb the old CARC paint a lot, that's some nasty stuff. And it was holding good and makes for a good primer. Remember that these are not smooth paint jobs, they're supposed to be a little textured looking. The guys at Bragg are great...

    I ordered a nos pioneer tool rack from epay for $20 and went shopping for tools. Got them painted green and installed it all in the hmmwv. It was a fun mini project.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I ordered some trucklite LED marker lights and began installing them. I also had one reflector that didn't match the others and changed that out too.

    3 color NATO woodland question

    I painted the frame and suspension with valspar flat black spray paint from Lowe's. It went very easy, but as mentioned already, make sure everything is clean.
