Yeah looks killer!Yup, the tint looks sick!
As they say (whoever "they" are - well, THEY know who they are), it's the little things that matter most.I slit 4 twelve inch lengths of 3/8” diameter tubing and slipped them over the door crossbars so the vinyl windows won’t get as scratched when I tuck them in. Window open weather is coming!

Thank-you for noticing. I wish I could have gotten a lot more done, but yes, little things count too!As they say (whoever "they" are - well, THEY know who they are), it's the little things that matter most.
I'm sure your HMMWV appreciates the gesture.
Actually, all sarcasm aside, that's a great idea.
Thanks again for posting.
Did you have a lot of challenges in following the corrugations? Any tips for those of us afraid to try?Added some dynomat sound deadener. Going to make a center console out of wood or fiberglass.

None whatsoever, I would recommend buying the good stuff, Dynamat, conforms very easily. I did use a handheld torch to help “fuse” it once I was finished.Did you have a lot of challenges in following the corrugations? Any tips for those of us afraid to try?

How noticeable was the sound reduction?Added some dynomat sound deadener. Going to make a center console out of wood or fiberglass.

It’s definitely noticeable, more so when I put it on the back side of the doghouse! I plan on putting down a piece of plywood on top of it as well as a center console that will also be insulated. Definitely recommend the Dynamat!How noticeable was the sound reduction?

Did you take any pictures along the way? I’ve a few non-greasable ball joints too I might replace. Looks like an involved job!Replaced the non-grease able lower ball joints yesterday. My Humvee sounded like a pirate ship creaking over bumps. Not a bad job at all- took about 3 hours and I took my time. Truck is happy again....
The lower bolts come out easy if you remove the hub first. Did you rip the boots with the pickle fork?Sorry no pics. but it's not bad. They bolt in to control arm. Remove wheel and use a jackstand. Lower balljoint nut is 15/16-- ball joint bolts are 9/16. Air powered pickle fork to separate joint from steering knuckle. The lower bolts are a little tricky to hold, I used a 9/16 s-wrench
