Can't picture any "diagonal supports" for the C pillar...What are you referring to? The side rails for the soft top?

There is a company called Transhield that makes fitted covers for military vehicles. My M1123 2man came with one. It looks like it was made to fit over a 2man MAK HMMWV during transport.

Definitely confirm the anti-drainback feature. There are identical GM filters that fit that are with and without the ADV. That would cause a slow pressure reading. For peace of mind, buy a mechanical oil pressure test gauge. Take off the stock oil pressure sender and screw in the test gauge...

Yeah, that ship has sailed. All that you will be getting that price range will be disappointment. Prices have almost doubled in recent months. Almost everything for converting a two man to four is out of stock at all the vendors. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Airing down the tires will drop about 2 inches

Looks like a Transhield fitted cover for the truck when it was the MAK 2 door armored box

It did have the rear door blanks and the load floor seat backs. No tailgate No mirrors No wipers No glass No top No radio tray No CDR valve But...it did come with a big mystery bag.

M1123 fresh out of Yermo. Started to disassemble for cleaning. Found out the rear seat cushions and base lids were left out at rebuild.

Its not required to use any sealant but even the military runs a 1/4" bead in the corner just to add some insurance. If you are in a rainy area or it sits outside, I would highly recommend a little sealant in the glass groove as well. The screws for the retainers are originally a 10-32 screw...

I second the tent seam sealer fix I have had good luck with keeping nice tops nice and improving weathered tops by using PB Blaster SILICONE spray. It is not a liquid the evaporates fast like regular silicone spray...its somewhat foamy and clings till it soaks in. Seems to rejuvenate the...

with any luck, today is the day my M1123 gets out of Yermo Prison

This thread has inspired me to pick up some NOS hoses before the rush...

i just spray with my Rapco CARC substitute rattle cans. I scrub them with some soapy water and paint when dry. It seems like the same thing the military(or GP) does to touch them up for inventory.

We just got an 1123 in and it was missing the CDR valve also. I was wondering about why until this thread popped up. Makes sense now. They ripped the fording switch out ...which was nice.

What I have heard is that the USMC XXXXXX number is the registration number of the vehicle. Seen on both sides of the hood and on the tailgate. Ones that have been assigned to a unit/location they receive the Mxxxxx number. Seen on the side of the body beneath the B pillar and on the tailgate...
