Now I understand...2 merged threads with initial dating back to 11, 2018. Second merged thread is now post#10...dated 01/25/2019, where I had already discovered the Behr thread and mentioned Behr by name... Now I understand and I'm sorry for the confusion.
You guys might be right. Still in planning stages...
I had a friend miscalculate water while desert camping. His stories perhaps have worried me a bit too much. Wish water was less heavy
I get thirsty.
Yeah, its a lot of weight BUT I would rarely need to carry that much, as you surmised. Better to build for a higher potential and not use, then calculate too low.
Thanks! I think I mentioned paint somewhere, and I agree that paint to match is on the agenda. I will be going with Behr paint. Under the Steel Soldiers "Paint and Restoration" forum there is a Behr paint section. Cheaper, easy to obtain, and less cancer causing agents. No mixing and therefore...
You're correct, as is Doghead… Got caught up in the moment, and forgot TOS.
Thanks for merging the threads Doghead!
Aerial view after securing loose bolt and pulling her home. She pulls and stops great. Almost don't feel her when driving, even with 8 12 bolt tires and a load of other properly...
The issue is that the tire needs to be removed in order to remove the bolt to get it sized. No, not rocket science but certainly easier to ask on the forum to save some heavy lifting in the cold of Winter. Know what I mean?
Sorry if that was not clear.

I used the wrong word... Sorry. Crown NUT, not bolt.
Bolt is there. Just need the crown nut (and cotter pin).
Pics below show missing crown NUT AND crown NUT on other side.
[Sorry I used the wrong word...OOPS. Anyone else smelling burnt toast?]
Finally received my M1102 with fiberglass top.
Paid months ago but had trouble getting it shipped for a reasonable fee.
Missing the crown bolt [EDIT - MISSING CROWN NUT, not bolt] that holds the upper shock absorber to the upper mount. Anyone know a size or part number or even better A SOURCE...
M1102 TAN with Fiberglass top, CAMO.
1) Is there a good thread about routine maintenance and essential upgrades?
2) What is best paint and supplier to paint tan CARC to Green with added Camo? I would prefer all one color, and my HMMWV is Camo too.
3) Any threads particularly devoted to M1102...
