You're sorta better off having the drain holes. You could try and find some rubber type expanding plugs that you could remove after mudding to wash down the mud that does enter.

The handy man's secret weapon!
Good idea. No need to get all scientific. I'll use tape.

I have punched quite a few holes in floors while doing wash rack coming home from overseas. The regular drains were not fast enough and I wanted sleep. And still had a long line of trucks to wash

I have seen drain hole repair kits advertised that you could add providing a neat looking installation. As TedG said many of the early HMMWV have very crudely done drain holes added as a "field expedient" I assume the repair kits are to fix these.

They weren't put there to drain the water as much as to let it flow in, so it will sink faster. So I read some where.

Those terminal covers look great...good idea. I added one over the positive buss on the battery box wall for added protection. Only had to punch an additional hole in the red cover. It is not in the TM but seemed like a good idea. If it is not I hope someone will tell me.
