Question: When you painted the doors did ya just use a rattlecan or a actual paint gun ?I did a little Rapco remodeling to my doors. They turned out good but now I have the paint the whole truck to match. It’s a freaking vicious cycle.
It was a spraybomb. I am going to have to use a gun for the rest of the truck. Much cheaper for that muck real estate.Question: When you painted the doors did ya just use a rattlecan or a actual paint gun ?
Rapco 383 green ?
When you do go and paint your truck what code of Rapco "green" are you going with.It was a spraybomb. I am going to have to use a gun for the rest of the truck. Much cheaper for that muck real estate.
Rapco only has one 383 green. That’s the same color I used on the doors.When you do go and paint your truck what code of Rapco "green" are you going with.
I ask because both the 34079 & 34094 both look good on these trucks. The 34079 seems to have a bit more "sheen" to it, where the 34094 almost has a "chalky" look to it..
The truck already has a 242 t-case so I don’t have to worry about that.
There are 2 types of 242 TC's, so you might need to shorten or get a different rear drive shaft .
You'll also need another mid shaft.
Once everything is in I am trailering it to a friends driveline shop I know at least one shaft will need to be chopped so it want be a dig deal for them to chop both.The truck already has a 242 t-case so I don’t have to worry about that.

It should be easier to measure for a drive shaft on a hmmwv because of the lack in of travel but my record for measuring for driveshafts is checkered at best. That’s why Jackson Powertrain has been on my speed dial for almost two decades.
I do appreciate the heads up though. I didn’t know there were differences in the two T-cases.

How will you mount the roofrack? The body flexes. You may bust welds if you don't use bushing in the mounts somehow.Well this party started today. Been looking for a place to store some tools and a few lockable boxes.
Also may do a rooftop awning for the little one to have some shade.

I am having a buddy cut out plates to mount on the front A pillar, the B pillar and a cross bar going to each fender with a backing plate. They will all go in with riv-nuts and bolts.How will you mount the roofrack? The body flexes. You may bust welds if you don't use bushing in the mounts somehow.
