Welcome and congratulations! Looks like a good start. Most likely culprit for no start, if it's been sitting a while, is bad fuel and old fuel filter. Drain and refill tank and put a new filter in and see if that helps If you have no leaks on a Hmmwv, the first suspicion is that it's out of...

Interesting. It certainly doesn't look like it will part from the top/strip. Probably been together 32 years, I suppose that's why. I'll be sure to take a harder look at it the next time I have it off, which won't be soon since it's covered by snow right now. BDGR

My Aero Kroil is just plain Kroil now, for smoe reason the cans always lose pressure well before they run out of juice... Maybe it was just the lot my can was in. I've been meaning to get a pump bottle for it, but am worried it will eat through anything I use... BDGR

Sounds good. I'm curious to meet one up close and think about how to improve upon it. BDGR

I had the same problem with mine. I replaced my whole regulator, but want to replace the pot on the old one so it can sit in spare. If you figure our a good part number or specs for that pot, please share it here. BDGR

Welcome!

Dustoff, I painted some tan HMMWV doors coated with heavy factory paint to make them OD Green. It is NOT holding up well, and has crackled in many places especially the seams. I think your suspicion is correct, painting is going to be a learn-as-we-go. I would think CARC would be a similar...

I was typing that I haven't experience with ballistic nylon, but then I remembered I asked for samples a year ago. I've dug them out and find that the ballistic will fray if pinched and pulled at. It is not bad though, so I think if you fold and sew a 1/4" rollover it should hold up OK and it...

Wow, that's a good price. Please keep us posted as to fitment and your impressions of quality. A picture or two as well, if able. I never would have looked at AZ! BDGR

I'll PM the fabric info, since it would mean an active auction link. The waterproofing I have used is the spray on type, that looks like brush on. Probably better for a top that sits horizontal, but it would take a lot to cover. Read the coverage guidance for brush/roller and how many...

I have worked with Cordura quite a bit, having been making soft slant backs for over a year now. Yes, it responds well to adhesives, if a good solvent-based one is used. I have had good results with E6000, commonly available at craft stores, as well as Amazing Goop or it's siblings. Cordura...

I told rustystud and I'll tell all here, if someone can get me one of the preferred boots to cut arpart and use as a pattern, I will see what I can do. I won't cut it up unless I'm sure I can do the job, or at least get it back together, of course. If someone has a torn or worn one, but still...

If you can't find it, I wouldn't be too worried to go ahead and pull it off (which is in the TM) and pull the ends off, it is straightforward. Clean it out w electronic/electrical cleaner while you have the ends off. Lectramotive is good, though pricey. The carbon brushes (the 60amp unit is...

Yeah, the u joints and carrier bearing are likely culprits .Not terribly hard to get out and replace. The U's are common Spicer, available from CarQuest or Napa. My local Advance Auto did not have them .The carrier bearing is likely to be found on eBay or true Hmmwv service site. I think I paid...

Sent you a PM rustystud.

1000Denier cordura is about $6-7/yard if you buy 10 yards. 1000D is about 11.5 ounces per square yard. I make the soft slant backs out of it. Ballistic nylon is around 1500D and about 14oz per yard if I recall correctly. There is a CA based surplus seller on eBay that has black ballistic nylon...

As bulky as HMMWV pillars and tops are I can see why they stripped it all so they could see and film the driver and pax! BDGR

I go topless periodically during summer onths, but have never tried folding down the windshield. My soft top does not have a channel in the front, just a metal strip along the front that is held to the A pillar by about 10 self-tapping screws. As noted, it is hard sometimes to get them to go...

Ah! That would make sense. I didn't realize that but it stand to reckon. BDGR

I'm going around the body sealing holes and other access spots for wind to come through. Wind whistles through the hole in the tunnel for the parking brake mount, for instance. I've packed around it but am going to make a boot for it I think. Using black plastic hole plugs wherever I see the...
