Thanks. Painting is all in the prep work. What paint did you use?

What kind of paint did you use?

Hi folks. Does anyone have experience with refurbishing sun-faded door cards? What did you do? I've got the door apart while I replace some window seals. I would also like to refresh the door cards while everything is apart. I've known friends who have refurbished trim with duplicolor...

Thanks for checking. Maybe I'm confused. I have it curve side up.

Interesting. Do you have a source for that? TM 10867A-OR doesn't say one way or the other is correct. And all the images of HMMWVs are being towed in this fashion. Other vehicles like the 939 get towed with them flipped because otherwise they'd hit the bumper.

Thanks. Yup its as short as it will go. Its a grow-er not a show-er 😃

I would hope so... on the other hand I did a lot of wartime stuff that wasn't exactly safe but it needed to get done. Thanks!!! I was lucky enough that the truck came with the seats and the cargo cover frame. Then I found some new old stock covers and it slipped right on. 😁

Yes! and a PT belt for safety

I'm not worried about the mounts for the towbar hinges/shackle mounts. They're made out of tonka tough shin wrecking steel. I'm much more disconcerted by the $3.79 per foot hardware store chain holding it upright against the brush guard. Its grade 70, so, yolo?

Chicks dig towbars, right? Whats the worst that can happen? The chains holding it rip the brush guard off at highway speed and it toe picks sending the whole rig ass over teakettle? 😬😅

@CARC686 huh? you mean this? Thats just the resistor removed from the firewall and laying on top of the airbox

You maybe didn't read the part in the earlier post where I said I got it running again. Kinda wild that a person with 29 years of experience with CUCVs would just assume that there are no other grounds, like someone removed them for fun. I'm sure you've seen a lot in your time. Thanks for your...

@WWRD99 @Barrman ah! That makes sense. I was thinking of the photo of the diode I took, and used to seeing resistors like on circuit boards and in electronics class. 🤦‍♂️ This one is... larger. 😂

@cucvrus still not a battery problem. The batteries load tested fine. Batteries don't go from working - to straight not working in an instant. The culprit was this short: That's repaired and its up and running now. Again, not a battery issue.

@Barrman people keep calling it a resistor - but the part in my photo is clearly a diode. Are we talking about the same thing?
