Just installed a few things in the HMMWV and I thought that I would share this one. I picked up the underbody kit a few months back, but just got around to the install. I will start by saying that the install was not too bad, but I had to do some minor modification. I borrowed this first image from Suprman (whom I also purchased the kit from). Here's what it looked like when I got it:

And here how it looks installed:

The piece marked with the arrow is a piece of 3/16" A36 steel channel that I added so that the front skidplate had something to attach to. Maybe the kit assumes use of a winch? Not sure, but maybe someone else could chime in.

The fuel tank skid plate was flapping around and making quite a racket, so I made a bracket to attach the back end of the skid plate, which was causing the noise, to the rear crossmember. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture, but just wanted to add a helpful hint.
