Cool, where does it go, Joel?

What type of HMMWV are you going to install it on? The instructions tell you to put 2 holes in the canvas top to attach it to the B pillar. That, as expected, makes it leak. In the Army, and on my HMMWV now, I never did that, I just let it "free float" on the B pillar, and put a piece of heater hose slit down the side on the metal angle iron part that made contact with the canvas. It's a great kit they were highly sought after, but somewhat unobtainable when I was in. But, being the crafty guy I was, made one appear. I put all my camo netting stuff on it, which freed up a ton of space out of the back of the 2 seater I had/have.

It attaches to the A pillar and the B pillar, and goes over the driver/front passenger. http://www.armyrecognition.com/humv...data_sheet_specifications_pictures_video.html

As Emmado posted on that link they go above the front two seats.
Emmado do you still have the paper work for figures 1-5? My kit is missing that one paper. :/

No paperwork. Just look in the 24P-2 under "Camo rack and stowage rack assembly" for how it all goes together. I you need close up pictures, I can take some and post them. It's pretty easy. The parts with the threads go INSIDE the windshield frame, the threads thru the front of the frame, then the block, then the bigger of the 2 angled supports, then the metal dish, then rubber donut, then smaller angle, then donut, then metal dish. Add the bolts and metal bushing. the rack itself bolts to the smaller of the angle supports. I didn't bother with the B post supports.

Putting it together isnt the issue.. Its a matter of proper hole placment on the A pillar I dont wana mess up. Photo with some type of measurement for proper hole placement would work also.
I am adding it to my 2 man..
Thanks

I would like to see some close up pics,I bought a used one and havent installed it yet.

Here is a close up of the mounts. They are both the same for both sides. Add the 3 straps, and your done. Pretty easy to install. If you do install that rear set of mounts, the canvas will leak in the rain. I don't drive my truck that much to worry about the rub thru with the heater hose on the canvas.

some more photos...
If you install it solo like I did I used shims to adjust the hight to the best....hight.
When you drill into the windshild frame you do not want the holes to be too high up or the piece with the two welded bolts will come in contact with the upper portion of inside the windshield frame and cause an issue. Try to center the holes as squarely inbetween the bottom of the channel for the soft top and the glass trim and you would be ok. Center the whole rack with the middle of the windshield and you will be fine. Use trasnfer punch if you have some to set your drill holes also if possible.
