.I reupholstered some HMMWV seats the other day. My first time doing it, how did it turn out? I used heavy duty vinyl tent fabric so they should last a long time

What brand and model tent?From corner plate to finish phase one. The "Tactical Tent Trailer - T3" Now working on the beer and BBQ, B2.
Not exactly HumV, but the colors match and the hookie hoop hooks right up to HumV, CAMO

Nice. I just removed 4 run-flats. Wish I did the inserts but didn't. Also, have factory high back seats and driver suspension frame coming. How do the seats work as compared to pads? Is there less room for the driver?Runflats out, pvc inserts in, 48 bolts tightened to 125 ft/lbs..By hand of course, sore ... seats modded..

I’m 6’2 and going from frame seat to smitybilt on new driver pedestal I found I lost maybe just a tad of length. Still plenty of room for myself. All 240lbs.. High backs should give you even more room than what I have. Thinner padding on backside.Nice. I just removed 4 run-flats. Wish I did the inserts but didn't.

Nice work, have you driven it since you took out the runflats?Runflats out, pvc inserts in, 48 bolts tightened to 125 ft/lbs..By hand of course, sore ... seats modded..

Lol yes.... read my “Wobble at 35 “ thread ....Nice work, have you driven it since you took out the runflats?
You are ahead of me... I have violent shaking at 20! Not sure if it's the run flats or flat spots from sitting 10 years.Lol yes.... read my “Wobble at 35 “ thread ....
But I did have some wobble before removal... still working out kinks

Thanks for the info! I just got the truck and haven't had time to track it down yet. I took it back out after I messaged you and I'm pretty sure it's the pass rear, definitely in the seat. It calls for 50psi which is crazy high from what I have seen. I'm running 25psi, could low air pressure be affecting the run flats causing it? I wondered if a squatting low tire could be bouncing the run flat inside like an over inflated basket ball..
Go down the the road again and see if the shaking is in the steering wheel or in the seat. Maybe moving a tire from the front to the back will make a difference - or at least help you discover where the problem is.
You might also lift the front of the truck and block it up. Then use a 3# hammer or something that you can stand up beside the tire. Slowly turn the tire and see if you have a left right wobble. Or get a piece of wood about the thickness of the open space under the tire. Spin the tire and see if you can see up and down movement.
Yeah, it is a pain in the butt but that might get you sighted in on the problem rim or tire or both. On the bright side, discovery is a cheap piece of work. I know this is a HMMWV, but this Dayton Rim video will help you see what I am trying to explain. A bent rim will be obvious using this technique.
