    Mirrors

    They're just a pair of Jeep TJ mirrors mounted with a little plate. Personally, I'd just get the Jeep mirrors and mount them myself. Save a good chunk of money.

    What to do with old Armasafe batteries?

    Thanks guys. I'll give that charging method a try and see what happens. I have nothing to lose.

    What to do with old Armasafe batteries?

    So my 1097A2 came with two dead Armasafe Plus batteries from 2011. They're currently deader than dead, showing 0.6v a piece. Is their any reason to keep them around? Can they be brought back to life? I've noticed even used ones are pricey, but these are dead as a doornail.

    Best Mirror Config

    I have mine setup so I look at the mirror through the door window on the driver side, and through the windshield on the passenger side. I've found that trying to look at the pass mirror through the door window is tough, plus it sticks way out.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Looks awesome! Where'd you get the cup holder? I like the placement of it.

    Storage charges from the yard

    I had it happen in March of this year. Maybe we used the same company?

    Storage charges from the yard

    That's awesome! I had the same issue with mine getting shipped. The guy the initially had lined up for the transport was deemed to be fraudulent, so I had to wait for the next shipped to become available. Weird.

    Storage charges from the yard

    I got the same email when I was waiting for mine to be picked up. I never got charged storage fees.

    Installed a Black Dog Customs cargo divider/ rear curtain sealer. Fit is decent. It's a little short on the driver side, so you need to seal the ends with silicone or seam sealer. I used some black seam sealer I had laying around. You gotta drill a bunch of 3/16 holes, and make sure to not go...

    Storage charges from the yard

    That's basically what I was told. They only default on items after 60 days, but don't charge storage fees anymore. Waiting for the shipping sucks lol

    Storage charges from the yard

    My shipper did the same thing. Told me it would be picked up within 8 days, but took 16 days. I didn't get charged any storage fees. When I asked the shipper about it, he claimed he's never run into anyone getting charged storage fees. Who knows? Dealing with shippers can be annoying.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    What's the truck in pic 13? Looks nasty! I like the low roofline.

    New HMMWV owner here

    I've pre paid for delivery plenty of times. That's what I did with my Humvee, and I buy and sell a lot of cars all over the country and never had any issues. Looks like you got a good truck! There's used 2 man stuff on ebay. Most people convert to a 4 man, so the 2 man stuff isn't too bad...

    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    Ran a 5% eyebrow on the windshields today. It's about 4" long. They sit up higher on the window than the sun visors do when they're down. Looks damn good imo. I need to get a better pic of it outside, but here's one right after I did them.

    I mostly use it to circulate the heat in the winter time. I have 12ft ceilings, and a lot of heat gets trapped up there.

    Hood is fixed, and custom made decals installed. Had someone reproduce the original markings in satin black. They blend in nicely, but are still visible.

    AWOLs 1997 M1097A2 Build

    I was in an awkward spot with the buffer, and stood it too much on its edge and burned the clear real good. Getting to the center of the hood on these things isn't as easy as you'd think lol Just got done spraying the clear and blending it with UPOL #9 blending agent. Now I just gotta let it...
