yes I used roller but that wasn’t the issue. It was making the 18oz and then the chopped mat make the radius’ To the flange (there‘s a 1” flange). First go around I had a tighter radius and it was a disaster. Second hand layup I modified the mold radius to a more gentle transition and it...

Been wanting to do some fiberglass projects and decided the rear curtain would be as good a place as any to start. Have never worked with fiberglass before so the learning curve was steep. wanted to design something a little different by not having boxes over the rear seatbelts but wanted...

fresh paint and dog has claimed the rig...wife has to ride in back now.

Got a couple Bestop Trailmax II seats installed. Used the existing driver’s frame (cut back and bottom springs off). welded a couple 1/4”t bar stock for mounting plates. A little double sided tape on cardboard with bolts in the hole locations leaves a nice imprint for drilling. Seat is a...

Thanks, that rim was an idea from other pics of guys here. Well, I couldn’t tell if the road noise was increased bc of the tread pattern over the incredibly loud engine noise and I’m sure the “ride quality“ is a little better bc of tires but honestly to really improve that you’ve got to change...

i went with Black Rhino Armory rims (several guys on here run those) and I like the look. looked at several tire options And decided on Yokohama Geolander X-MT 37x13.5xR17 including beads, set of 4 was $2,500

Stay at home situation has at least one benefit...punch list gets some check marks. all PMCS is done. All the electrical gremlins have been sorted. took it for a 10 mile shake down, shes Running well. Installed the backup lights, pulled power from run/start (already had a Y packard connector...

Been a couple of years since I owned one and local sheriff decided to sell their 2 (had just been sitting) so I bought both. Here’s one of them. This one is a bit of an electrical dumpster fire but we’ll get it sorted. going to keep one stock and the other...probably customize it a bit.

Awesome! #jealousashell !!!!

Already started looking again and the good news...I gave the buyer this site to go to for good advice. I did a pretty hefty restoration of my first rig. Lessons learned will make the second much smoother. I appreciate all the guys here who are willing to help new owners of these rigs. Quite...

What have I done to my humvee today? I’m having seller’s remorse...I sold it:

eRapta (ER0202). About $200 on Amazon. Well worth it especially for the blind spots...and the side cameras aren’t ridiculously ugly.

Added backup/hitch/blindspot cameras.

The most enjoyable 2 bolts I've put on my rig...she's street legal with a clean title.

It's Rapco Forrest green and black but in a PPG paint with a matte clear. There are so many body dings and stuff that I just didn't want to fix and anything glossy would have looked pretty rough. Once you start doing the body work there is no end so I fixed the really bad stuff and went with it.

Almost finished with the paint:

Turned up the fuel (1/4 turn) and put in a less restrictive air filter. The person who invented the 15mm fuel pump wrench needs an award. The person who designed the throttle cable bracket mounting for this engine (6.2) needs to be dropped from an airplane though. On the "this job might suck...

14ga steel. Weighs too much...didn't even think to do it out of aluminum! Next time...6061, great idea.

EGT and Tach install. Had my local fab shop cook me up a box. pulled power for the tach from fuel gauge and the gauge lights are pulled from gauge cluster light with a 24v to 12v converter to light the EGT. Haven't hopped up the injection pump yet but took it out for a spin and cruising at...

Very interested in your findings. I have an EGT gauge to install with the same purpose...bump the FI up and get some more gitty-up but was concerned about damaging engine components. Following your post!
