There is a drain plug on the bottom of the tank. It should be obvious once you look for it. Warning: drain plugs become brittle with age. You will almost certainly have to replace it. Bulldogger

Looks good. Mine rusted similarly and I used an exhaust coupling as a donor part to weld on and around the old seam. Held for a couple years until I replaced the powertrain. BDGR

They insured/insure my HMMWV no problem but I have heard, or seem to recall having heard, they won't accept any new applications. I could tell you where I heard that, I may be misremembering. Can't hurt to try calling and asking, their rates are great. BDGR

Here's a thread on my design with plenty of posts from others in as well. The thread has a link to the development thread as well. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hmmwv-4-man-soft-slant-back-feedback-and-discussion.176620/ I made a tan slant back for a fellow in Maryland late 2021. I'm...

I'll be sure to contact you directly. Are you looking for 2-man, 4-man w rear seat belt mounts or 4-man without belt mounts? I figure on making 2-man and 4-man seatbelt. I wonder how many folks have 4-man without rear belts. And what color? I've green, tan and black fabric on hand. No camo...

I'm close to having a set of rear curtain designs I am satisfied with (at least for beta testers to try out). I have some 2-man versions ready, but still have to finish the 4-man design. I don't make tops and don't plan to. Way too much sewing in one of those. You didn't ask but I'll offer that...

Interesting. I dropped off that Fecebook group he was selling in bc of too many morons in it. That was before he came out with these. Fun fact: I tried to sell my soft slant back design to WW but he didn't want it. I was developing improved rear curtains but it looks like WW beat me to it...

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. BDGR

My first thought was that it looks exactly like a motorcycle fork tube top nut...

I wonder at times, but my commute to Rosslyn is bad enough from Triangle. :)

I was in Franconia, yes. But moved to WDBG and then Triangle. Part of getting married and consolidating, etc. At least she let me keep the HMMWV ;) Bulldogger

As I noted in the Northern VA thread, welcome! If you need a core 6.2L or 3L80 core, I have them in Marshall. Make you a great deal as the garage is very tired of storing them by now. Bulldigger

Welcome from Triangle! We lived in WDBG until May last year, and return often for the stores and restaurants. Bulldogger

Congratulations patracy!

Great progress again as usual. Well done, keep it up! BDGR

Looks pretty clean. Best of luck. BDGR

I'm having too-high readings come and go, getting worse just earlier this week. I think if I really had 120psi the engine would sound a LOT different. I'll check that sending unit myself, and the wires too. BDGR

On your electrical woes, and possible causes of start box issues: grounding is always a good thing to verify, and you did that so next I wonder if you checked the integrity of the positive battery wiring on the backside of the battery box? There is a post that is mounted through the battery box...

You're making good time, really moving on repairs. Looking good!

Count me in please.
