Are those the bungs that fill the - for lack of Better term - antenna wire holes?? I was hoping to fill those holes with an LED light and wire them for reverse lights but, I can’t find any the right size so, those bungs would be next best option. I am welding the top to try and close up lots...

Some of it is more a welding application but I had thought of adhesives. I would have no idea what products to use tho. Or for example if body filler/Bondo could be used, or even fiberglass resin, to fill small gaps if pieces were just butted and bolted down

Thank you for that info. Disconnect batteries obviously but anything else to know before I go at it?

I cannot weld aluminum, so I called around to a few shops. One of the shops that can, thought that the Humvee had magnesium in the alloy? I have no idea- what’s the alloy they used on the body? I’m talking about the body itself and the top on my 1165. Anything else special I should know...

The bolts are already rusty and it’s easier to replace than to try and de-rust bolt heads. Phosphoric acid? I’ll check it out, thanks

Does anyone know who makes the tail lights with an integrated reverse light? And how it’s wired/switched on? I’m looking for those, or some kind of 1.25” round light that will fit in the hole where the antenna mount normally is.

This guy in this video has an installed vintage air kit. This is what I priced at 2-2500$$

I have been told the OEM system is super expensive. vintage air sells AC kits that can be retro fitted. I priced it once at 2000-2500 for a whole truck setup. if you already have AC maybe insulating the truck would be the way to go.

Ok so I took it off like you suggested. Just so I am clear…. the top row of studs in 24v and the much smaller green bar below is the 24v ground? the two posts on the left, where my hand is holding the wire, that is the 12v stuff? I don’t see a separate 12v grounding strip for that. And then...

A lot of the bolts on my truck are rusted. I was going to replace them before painting with either Hot dipped galvanized or the shiny zinc. I know painting over galvanized is tricky, but what’s the best primer or pre-treatment?? some humvee frames Are galvanized so the military must have a...

So I can’t find a place to sand my truck. We just moved so I have no real friends or know anyplace that would work. truly how dangerous is the dust days and weeks after sanding? My kids rarely play in the front yard, so I could do it there. On a windy day maybe it largely blows away...

Is this the 12 v box you all are referring to? It looks like there’s (3) 25 amp fuses and (1) 15 amp fuse. It looks like there’s 3studs for 3 25 amp circuits. I’m not sure what that re-set button is or those other studs on the side. Everything in the box is coded red for hot and I’m not seeing a...

If anyone happens to win that truck, I’d buy the tire carrier from you. I was planning on building one like it some day and it would safe me the trouble.

Mogman did a cool write up. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/6l80-in-my-m998.204941/#post-2389286 The 6l90 is stouter as I understand it, but the output shaft won’t mate with the stock transfer case, whereas the 6l80 does.

What dimensions are you looking for? Also please share the link to the aftermarket bases. At the mounting holes, the base is 7.75” high at the back and 9.75” high at the front. The mounting holes to the floor are 13 7/8” on center wide (they are slotted) and 9 5/8” front to back. they are...

And here is the issues I have with the rear doors…. The top is a 1/2” wider than the C pillar, so the “jamb” on the top is 1/4” wider than the “jamb” of the c Pillar. It would be impossible for the doors to shut tightly against the C pillar as they bottom out along the roof first.

Put in a 6l80!

Here’s some more shots of where water comes in. Some is minor wetting I won’t worry about, others it’s a flood. lots of the problems are around the doors- is it a fools errand to get the doors to seal nice and tight? I’m probably going to have the top modified and welded so that the giant...

I have a set of oem X doors I may be selling. I should know more in the next few days. Pm me if interested.
