Got the top and doors on it. Also the antenna once more. Still have to install lights, touch up paint, clean up the interior, and install the rear seats.

I'm wanting to upgrade to LED lights as well. But maybe later. I'm going to switch out the wheels and tires from my CUCV onto it. (24 bolts)

A2 Steering Wheel

I definitely like how the A2 steering wheel feels in my hands better than the thin original. One thing that I will say... do not attempt without a proper steering wheel puller.

A little more piddling today. Washed up the rear seats and got them installed. Also got some of the hoops installed. Touched up some paint, painted the brushguard and front side marker lights and headlight rings. I'm hoping this weekend I'll get everything 100% and get the 24 bolts swapped over.

New here and to the HMMMV scene. What do you mean by "get the 24 bolts swapped over"

Higher PSI and load carrying capacity. Newest HMMWVs are issued with them.

8 bolt wheels:

12 bolt wheels:

24 bolt wheels:

Do not install radials on the 8 bolts as they're not designed for that PSI.

grrrrr - Managed to have the cab air blower seize up on me yesterday as I was 20 minutes from home and it was 2F out. Good thing I was in it when that happened, vs it idling as I was in a store, as there was massive draw on the electrical system and the beginnings of a meltdown. Looks like partial disassembly of TM-9-2320-280-24P-2 fig 331 is needed. I guess it's a good excuse to clean it all out and fab up a luxury item called a cabin air filter when I replace the blower.

Looking through the TMs, I could not find the exploded diagram which shows the blower...

Thanks to tbar123 I was able to get a way to secure some of my gear in the HMMWV.
I have no idea what these boxes are for but they fit the rear fenders of a HMMWV perfect.

I still need to fit a gas piston to hold them open when I am using them. Being able to lock up my gear with the soft top is going to be great.





I am going to fit a flush fit LED into the rear of the box to have some much needed backup lights and use that power to give me some light in the boxes.
