Here's the door you have.

If you have a dual-voltage alternator - then this is the proper way to do it.

The instructions do not say to ground the 14v stud in the Niehoff application. I've heard lots of folks say to ground that 14v post - but I've never been able to confirm it. Perhaps it's a different mfg? The Niehoff installation instructions are here...

When I switched out my top - i put some dish soap (Dawn) on the front of the soft top and it slid through that channel in just a few seconds.

Painted my 4-door with Rapco - just under 1 gallon gave me 2 coats inside and out.

Finally got my console / stereo / accessory issue resolved. I ended up building a small ammo box to hold the stereo and accessories. Ive got a dual-voltage alternator/regulator setup so I ran battery cable from the 14v post on the regulator to the back battery. From there - I ran power to...

So - here's what I ended up doing. I built an ammo box out of wood to size, and bolted it to the radio tray. 12v power supply to the ammo box - installed a battery cutoff switch there - and a fuse block to feed accessories. I have a couple of USB charging ports, and LED license plate lights...

I have a question. I've never re-wired a car or truck - but have done so on a few boats I've owned. Multiple batteries, charging relays, and the like. It's an ABYC requirement that overload protection be located within 7" of a power source on a boat - including starting batteries. On my...

From the outermost point on the windshield (slot that accepts soft top) to the back of the c-pillar, measured along the rail, I measured 70 1/2".

The number isn't close - It is the exact same number as my VIN number on my data plate. Stamped into the A Pillar at the windshield.

On my HMMWV, the VIN is also stamped on (in) the A pillar below the windshield.

I mocked up a console with some foam board. A couple of 4 1/2" speakers and a blue tooth receiver on the top part - cup holders will go on the larger shelf - and I'm likely going to put a locking glovebox on the front face. Going to add some USB outlets and might try some small LED lights for...

I just did this a couple of weeks ago. as the folks before me said - heater and heater core need to come out. Access the nuts for the core from the air intake chamber. It's a good time to wash out the heater core (inside and out) - get dust off of the fan, heater boot, etc.

You can add this to this list of wavering interpretation of "motor vehicle": https://isearch.nhtsa.gov/gm/88/nht88-1.29.html

Thanks. I've already got a radio tray to start with . . . I think I'm going to fabricate something with wood / cardboard and then talk to someone about making it from aluminum or sheet metal . . . -D

Here's the modification of the reinforcement beam.

I've seen AMG's petition to NHTSA to waive the ABS mandate for 4WD vehicles. They complained they were having a hard time finding someone to design an ABS system for their full-time 4WD torque-biasing differentials - that they weren't selling enough units to justify development costs. In 1996...

I've read they changed the steering column to a Ford LTD column (I believe) - but have not seen other safety related changes. Yes- I've got 3-point belts at the corners and DOT lighting. Most things out there refer to the AMG trucks, pre-H2, as the H1. But whatever. You cleary win the...

Swiss - I don't think you and I are in any significant disagreement. My questions is this - did they certify the H1 in 1992 as complying with the FMVSSs? They absolutely had to do it to sell them to the public - right? If so - what did they change - from the HMMWV to the H1 - to certify them...

This is all very interesting . . . First - a "group" effort will be tough - as this is really a state-by-state issue. Some state's DMV's issue titles and register the trucks - others do not. The "Off-Road" stamp on the SF-97 is what appears to be causing the confusion and creating the...
