Attached tailgate chains to body mount brackets. Prior owner used zip ties which do not exactly support load.

What color did you paint the above ? Looks darker then the standard "383" green...?

 

[BLK HMMWV]

looks like OD green to me kind of like a WWII color

 

[drivebymashing]

From what I've read it's current issue od green 34086. Probably no humvee came painted that color but I love it

Does it work well for the passenger seat as well since that is sitting on top of the battery box?

new parking brake installed, just waiting on cable to finish by brake job and then move on on to front seat belts.

I haven't installed passenger seat yet. I don't have battery box. Previous owner took it out batteries are in the rear passenger seat area. I read seat will fit on battery box ok

Performed a few cosmetic tasks on the M998 yesterday, but weather conditions shut me down early

It will be interesting to see how you cover them, if you follow through on that idea. I covered mine in canvas. I sourced frames for TheCaptain to make his own, though I'm not sure he's started yet.

Here is my version of half doors: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?153694-M998-HMMWV-Rebuild-Repair-Alexandria-VA/page8

Finished the humvee show board. I think it turned out pretty good.
