There is a guy on a popular auction site that makes them and they look really nice. Good dollars but these are $$$ to begin with if you can find them. m998-nut is his handle.

My 91 HMMWV.
Just picked up mine from a buddy that put her together in CT. She came from the NJ National Guard. She was setup as a four man fiberglass maintenance truck. 17K on the clock since a 2005 refit. Had her painted in a Pingauer green to match my buddies Pinz and my M101A2 trailer that...
You sure don't want her to kick down at highway speeds so be careful with that. These things shift early as they make full torque at 2K. Oil pressure seems low but maybe the gauge is bad. Mine is the other way 60 to 70 PSI at idle and pegged 120+ off idle so my gauge is off. I am installing a...
I do have the rear cover and bows from the 2 man setup and 4 man setup. From my research the 2 man bows need to be cut down for height and also have 1 1/2" removed from the center section for the cover to work properly. I have new seat belts for the troop seats and will be installing smaller eye...
Below are some pics I grabbed today of the seats and interior. This thing sure gets a lot of looks on the road and she runs like a top albeit a very noisy top LOL

Thanks for the kind words guys. I will snap more pics today. I have the bows from the two man setup and will cut them down and take a an inch and a half or so out of the center section so the new rear cover will fit. I also have a pair of offset antenna mounts to put the antennas outboard and...
Just picked up my 91 M998 on Saturday and so far am really pleased with it. Have to learn all the in and outs but zero issues so far. Had a friend in CT put her together for me and I had her painted to match my buddies Pinzgauer and my M101A2 (pinz green) trailer.

I was lucky enough to snag a NOS green arctic to and curtain for the four man setup. Can't wait for the delivery but I have a few questions. Are these as hard to find as I believe they are? Is the cover and curtain a lot more durable then the reg setup? Any install tips? I don't know much about...
I would like to install some balancing beads in my HMMWV tires but since I have runflats and assume grease was added for them so would not the beads just get stuck in the grease? Am I wasting my time?
Thanks,

I am looking at a 1994 HMMWV A1 4 door and trying to find out the differences from the pre 94 models. I know the seats are better and it has the heavier duty half shafts but does it also sit a little higher as I believe the payload is higher. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any other...
Great info thanks. I did notice that the front of the tarp is lower and I would have to deal with that but a real canvas tarp as a great idea. Love the looks of your setup
