    Aftermarket fiberglass door differences

    I made doors. Cheaper and easier to remove for outdoor adventures. I like them more than my electric imitation military x-doors and my soft doors and my fiberglass X-doors military doors.

    How to bypass PCB? I am aware some HMMWV owners have done it. TOBASH

    Just be aware that using a plastic box is potentially an issue because it is flammable and it is dealing with high voltage and high amperage. Just one wrong wire can cause that all to catch fire. I recognize that car companies are using plastic boxes however they have extensive teams to make...

    Huge mistake. I won a GP auction…. Cali FMTV Project “ ‘Merica”

    This was done “in-house” which is why I used them. Thanks for the great idea BUT I chose this place because they are perhaps the last of a dying breed.

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    He asked me how to fix the HMMWV, not his lungs or his life. He can use airplane paint remover. Specifically, to repair previously worked Aluminum, one needs to heat it.

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    Best Way to Repair Bed and Floor Damage?

    This is the flatbed in a truck and a used truck at that. I’m giving you instructions on how to get your truck up and running. If you are trying to make it look beautiful then you will need to drill out all the rivets and insert a new bed. If you want, I’m certain you could do limited bodywork...

You can Aluminum TIG or MIG… Or use thin strips of Aluminum sheet on the underside to repair, using auto body epoxy from the underside with self tapping screws to hold in place. Then grind off the screws and Rhino line it. Alternatively, go to Tractor Supply...
