Front license and bench seat typs

[beehumvee]

Hello dear friends

I am close to have my license plates soon, and I am wondering how do you install the front license plate in the three holes place in the front bumper... without drilling the lady of course...

On the other hand, I have adquired a beanch seat to install it between the two rear seats on a four man configuration, and I am wondering as well about the best place to install it... this time i have to drill the lady, I have no other chance... but I am worried about what is on the other side of the floor... any typ is welcomed!

Thank you for your help

I used zip ties. Seriously

mine came with the winch plate. I used one existing hole, and drilled one 1/4" hole for the other side.

If I had your style front, I'd use zip toes, or maybe weld a small bracket onto the brush guard to bolt it to , either near the center bottom, or below one of the turn signals.

I'm going to advise against the bench seat, especially if this is for kids. There's almost no rollover protection in the HMMWV, and putting a bench on top of the bed/tunnel puts those occupants beyond what little protection there is. Absolutely the same goes for anyone sitting in troop seats on a 2-man setup, so I keep those for consenting adults aware of the danger, or parade speed only where a rollover is just improbable.

Hi all!

Here in Spain it is not allow to have the plates fitted with zip ties. They have to be fixed in hard way, with volts or so...

Regarding the bench seat, i am planning to use it for short drives only...

Any typ?

Thankyou!

Here in California I haven't run a front plate on the HMMWV for almost 20 years. Experience has shown me that as long as your driving in a responsible manner with these trucks you don't get pulled over.

It still won't have any rollover protection even on a short drive!!!
The floor is aluminum so unless your adding some kind of backing plates under the floor or fastening it into the cross members there isn't much to secure the seat too.
I would strongly suggest not to install a bench seat.

As to the front license plate tap a few holes into the bumper or drill it and use nuts and bolts.

There's a lot of H1s and Hmmwvs running a small bench between the rear seats. On the H1 it was a dealer add on. I dont know how they mounted it, but I'm sure it's a pretty straightforward process.

Hope you're talking about the plate and not the seat

I looked at a Land Rover 110 Defender fold down bench seat to bolt in the cargo bed for temporary/limited use.

It is still going to need some engineering under the tunnel for bolting it in and mounting restraint systems, but those won't help in a rollover. Short of a steel tubing H1/GMV C Pillar and/or engineering a full rollcage, I'm not sure what you can do about that

but I am worried about what is on the other side of the floor...

The main thing is the fuel tank. right up tight against the floor.

Plate. Not the seat.

(The seat needs duct tape.)

I used 2 self tapping screws for the plates front and rear. Interestingly, there were already holes in the right spots on my national guard GP truck.

Wait !! your relying on 4 self taping screws to hold a bench seat and passenger's to your truck?
I have to ask what the seat belts are held on with ? Flex tape? Gorilla Glue ? maybe Velcro
or maybe no seatbelts

 

[cwajciec]

Binders twine and a half hitch should keep the kiddos safe, right?

 

[Coug]

Come on, this is serious.
You should at least use bailing wire or 100 mile per hour tape, not zip ties and duct tape.
Think of the children.

Here is what I did for the plates on mine.
