Actually yes I did notice that. My general observations are that it was solid around the edges but the hole that goes closer to the center was hollow. It could be just mine but that’s what I noticed. didn’t seem to affect anything, I just made sure not to overtorque the ones with the hollow hole...

Let us know if you come across any weird imperfections on yours. Just curious to see how consistent they are across batches.

Definitely, every part of it was covered completely. Was sitting there scraping it for a while to all of it off and clean.

Ah I see what you mean, yep that’s a good tip. Thank you both. My deuce has had a dead lift pump for a while too, takes a while to start if it loses prime.

It’s odd because when I first got the truck, I drained a bunch of old gunk out of there through it with the truck running, didn’t shut off. This was before swapping the filter and IP. This time when I did it, bone dry and not even a drip. Does the drop in pressure going into the IP when...

Well this is funny, I took it for a drive around the industrial park, noticed some power surging when it was cold. Then it went away after a few minutes. I get back to my parking lot, decide to sump the fuel in case there were any contaminants/water in the filter housing, truck dies as soon as...

Finally have the doors, came in on Monday and more details can be found here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/hmmwv-doors-tops.212672/post-2493231 Also got the turret back on. Spent an entire day just sealing the bearing assembly, made a real mess with the urethane caulk stuff, hopefully...

Alrighty here we go, as promised, plenty of pics attached. I can take more pictures of specific things if anyone is interested. They came in on Monday, I had them all mounted up and good to go within about 6 hours. For anyone just browsing through this thread quickly, these are the West...

Oh I'm referring to their signature series, they've got 2 types. The B-Spec doors with the RV sliding windows are much more affordable at about half the price (~2500). The signature series with the original look with slide-down window are ~5000...

I must say that at this point I've accepted the fact that the costs for any set of doors are going to be ridiculous. I had the option to buy some semi-ratty looking X-doors for the same price a while back, but I passed on them as I figured it'll be easier to deal with clean/fresh doors that I...

I can confirm that anything that’s Army is much quicker. My generator had its SF97 mailed a day or two after I received the unit. DLA seems to have a much differently refined customer service process compared to the USMC. I’ve called DLA before and they seem to be on top of things in general.

Even one day is pretty wild.. good stuff lol

Alrighty here’s the scoop: I went to the DMV to have the title generated from the SF97. Filled out all the paperwork, had the checks filled out to pay the tax and title fees, and was about to have the submit the forms. The estimated time to receive a title is 4-12 weeks, temporary plates are...

Fantastic, can get some better info out there for the masses :p Mine supposedly arrive tomorrow, not sure how accurate that is but I shall see. EDIT: New delivery date is Monday

I'm currently waiting on a set of west kentucky fiberglass doors, will post plenty of pics here for the curious once they arrive.

Will keep this thread posted on how it goes hehe

Woot woot, SF97s for 2 trucks came in today with Fedex. Trucks Purchased: May 25th 2022 Trucks Arrived: June 21st 2022 SF97 Arrival: January 9th 2023 Going to the DMV on Thursday Now to maybe have my doors come in 🤔

heh that's always re-assuring, sounds like we're always in the best of hands with manufacturers :P

Got some pictures by chance? This sounds pretty neat. In terms of updates on my mat situation, they're doing great with the only downsides being 1: drainage, 2: slight rubber smell. I'll probably make a few holes for drainage and hopefully the new rubber smell wears off after a while.

Yea that’s pretty much what I wanted to avoid by going to one of the typical stores. I’ll yank some of the existing lines and measure the IDs. Looks like Amazon has a few common sizes of gates transmission cooler hose available.
