I'm in the process of stripping and sanding my Hmmwv and need to take the old plate and black knobs off of the heater pulls. I've tried unscrewing, pulling and even loosening the two nuts behind the dash to no avail. Do I have to follow the cables to the end and completely remove the entire...

Excellent job! What did they line X job end up costing?

I also have been looking for that toolbox. It was made by MSA and like most hmmwv mods they make, they are tough to find.

Thanks for the ideas guys. If any members in OK or OH every want to make a little cash let me know.

Has anyone found a company that will generally ship auction items cheaper than Fastrack logistics? I've used UPS for stuff under 150 lbs but im talking about shipping stuff 150lb +

Thanks.

I dont one see the mounting holes on that latch in the link. Did you drill your own or is that the wrong latch?

Man that would have saved some time. Oh well, now we know. Thanks for the info

Big thanks to Nickd for sending a pic of the kascar latch. It looks like Kascar used the same latch I have and fabricated it using the original eyelet from the stock latches but I could be wrong

Southco part number: 64-50-412-50 A pivot pawl latch would have made it easier to modify but all the ones I saw had 8 holes drilled for attaching the base plate instead of the 4 holes like we need

I'm going for this look or sheen. Whoever did this hmmwv did an outstanding job

Really? Do you have any good pics that show the type 9? Does it clean easy or is it like the other carc where oily handprints are hard to get off and no matter how much you wash it, it still looks dirty? Your right about the carc looking like 120 grit. I could sand wood on the carc I'm sanding...

I will look into 3m sealant for sure, didn't even think about that. I'm not using spray paint, I'm actually going to do a legit paint job using a hvlp sprayer. I went to an auto paint supplier today and decided I'm going to go with a tan acrylic enamel base and then mix a little flattener in the...

Does anyone know where to get the sealant amg used the seal the body panels? I have some cracking off on some of the panels and it's a good time to fix it. By the way, they did a horrible job making the sealant look neat, it looks like a 3 yr old did it with a caulk gun. If the sealant is...

I already have spots that are down to bare aluminum from paint completely flaking off. Is the alodine treatment complicated or expensive?

I understand what your saying but the paint I'm using is compatible with multiple primers. I'm just trying to find the best one for bare aluminum and going over carc. I'm not doing spot repair, I just have to do heavier sanding in some spots but am going to prime and paint the entire vehicle

I'm not planning on removing all of it. There is a lot of drips and flaking on my hmmwv so I just want to smooth it all out. Some spots will be down to the bare aluminum which is why I want to know what the best primer to use is. Plus I need to paint under the truck on the suspension etc since...

Yea silica is no good. I deal with concrete often and its full of it. Thanks for the info

I'm planning to use a RO Bosch and mirka 80 grit sandpaper to start. I'm going to paint with a urethane paint and was wondering it an epoxy primer or self etching primer would be best on bare aluminum

Does the mil only use carc to paint hmmwv's? I know carc has lead and other bad stuff so I got a lead paint test kit to see if my hmmwv did in fact test positive for it before I start a long sanding job. To my surprise it tested negative. I even gave the test 24 hours incase it contained lead...
