    Questions about uparmored windshield frame compatibility

    I have a set of thin retainers (hockey sticks) and the ECV retainers. I can use the ECV retainers as a templet to drill up the other set... if you are interested. The ECV set is about 100 bucks and the normal ones about 35 a set.

    Wanting to start a new HMMWV business. Need your help.

    If you are looking on making this a career just remember that these will dry up. How long will it be is anyone's guess. I see CUCVs, M35s, M101 and others dry up.

    Blown Turbo motors went for 3k oh my!
