That's a pretty nifty idea to add storage and other capabilities on what otherwise is a real nose-wart of a cover. I'm going to steal that idea.

Looks promising... inboard or outboard boots?
Tried finding those on their website - no joy.
Only real plus side to using the website is NOT hearing "year, make and model sir?"

looks nifty, but are those the power wires running under the seal near the passenger seat? How does he fasten the top left dzus fastener?

Yes...very nice use of space, maybe a drop in cup holder on top of the lower surface. I also have a question if anybody might have a answer? Replaced the seals on the front differential. found the torque specs for eveything except the pinion shaft yoke lock nut. Torque or procedure???

The pinion nut is a bit more complicated than just torque it down. There is a crush sleeve inside and there are close tolerances. The torque resistance (or something like that) needs to be measured before the nut is removed. The specifics are in the books. Look for diff input yoke replacement section.

In process of doing this. A diagram of plumbing and any other info you can provide would be most helpful. Thx

Put a new input seal on the front right geared hub. First time I have ever messed with the geared hubs but it’s simple. Took just over an hour including tool clean up and filling it with oil. I made sure to spin the hub a few times while filling it with oil to get all the air bubbles out of the gears. Previous owner drove it a lot in deep water ford and I think that had a lot to do with the seal failing.
Also put a new 3 lever light switch in and now all my lights work. The switch before this one was also brand new but the brake lights and dash lights wouldn’t work.
Finished my interior insulation and just waiting for the Durabak 18 to arrive so I can do the inside and out. Staying white outside and white and gray inside. Trying to decide if I want black or lime green accents on the outside (hood grill, lift hooks, light housings, gas cap and stuff like that). What do you guys think? White and black or white and lime green? I did my 72 Scout II white and green and loved it but the wife keeps saying not everyone likes that color as much as me lol. Here is the Scout that is the inspiration for green and the humvee that’s getting painted

I finished up painting my rig last fall and didn't get around to posting any pictures. It looks great at 10', and that's what I was going for.

I LOVE that BIG WHITE STAR on your hood!
Obviously, it's not "period correct", but it DOES provoke a bit of a nostalgic love for MV's.
Also, upholstered the inside...I cleaned mine up and fabricated an aluminum roof.

Is this a kit or did you literally fab it yourself?
Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Fabricated myself, got a shop in Staten Island New York. Started working on a friends, now I’ve got a few of my own. Thank you!
Here’s another hard top I’ve done recently
I hope to fabricate these things all day long!

I'm really liking the headliner! It makes it look finished off, and neat.

if you can fab doors and tops you'll have people buying you out of stock... I'd be in that line.
