Thank you!
It's been a long process, and it's the first time I've ever painted a truck. Good thing matte paint is forgiving! I need to post up some pics of the whole thing. Still has a long way to go, but it's back on the road, and I'm having fun with it.
Ok, here are a few pics of what I did. I wrapped the cables in that twisty cable protection stuff (that's a technical term... I looked it up!) and just routed them over the transmission, and to where I put the switch. After drilling the hole for the switch, I noticed that I went through a seam...
I can't remember exactly, I think it was 7' and I had a little extra I used to make a new battery cable I needed. I'll snap a couple of pics underneath the truck tomorrow to show how I routed it. In their previous post Those Military Guys said they would have a kit for installing in both...
My '87 m1038 doesn't have the cooler. I bought the kit, and will be installing it soon. My gearbox is leaking pretty bad. I was going to order new inlet and outlet seals and see if that fixes the problem. I talked to Hummer Parts Guy a while back, and if I remember correctly a new gear box is...

my hmmwv is a 4 man soft top, but I'm installing a sponson panel to keep stuff from sliding into...
Did anyone take you up on the offer?? I was still planning on making my own, but I'd rather have an exact match. Unfortunately I don't have a set to send you.
So.... What about next Saturday? I'm going to try and get paint on my truck next week and if (that's a huge "if") I get it done in time, I might drive up. I'm assuming its the Cabela's in Eugene, right? What time, what's the plan? Thanks!
