I realize it’s not going to be as strong but I think it will work fine. Hopefully I got the height somewhat correct, I think it looks pretty good. On my way home to drill a few more holes for bolts.

Well if you were Navy it might be more of a conundrum. 😄

So is semi-gloss and gloss just a no-no with painting these? I wanted a little shine to mine but I have seen a few people say they had issues with painting semi or gloss.

I probably will, I mainly just want either a gray, dark blue or khaki with back accents with the bumpers/mirrors/doors/grill. I think it will look pretty nice, I just have to find the right one. Not sure if I'm the only one but I feel odd driving with camo, I didn't serve and it just.....seems...

Yeah, I've seen those but its just really hard to tell. I have viewed each on my phone and a calibrated computer but its hard to visualize and I have seen variations of shades that seem a little too drastic to just be lighting differences. I like the idea of gray with my black doors and...

How many coats? Did you spray any type of clear coat? I'm trying to decide on using Behr Marquee because getting it off will be a lot harder than CARC, you can pretty much just sand CARC vs latex will start peeling when sanding.

I never knew about Ospho until I bought my Hmmwv and the guy I bought it from mentioned it. Mine didn't have a ton of rust but some but i have to say, it is amazing. I wish I knew about it when I had my old 4runner. I bought my gallon at Ace as well, I was lucky they had the larger size at a...

I’ve seen the paint codes but not good examples. I was debating a khaki, luster less gray, navy gloss gray and Air Force strata blue but they only one I’ve found is khaki, I’ve seen varying shades of af strata.

My plan at this point is to drill two holes at the top of the 3 hole bumper, since mine has been modified already, it has that top cross bar which I’ll bolt onto the 3 hole bumper. I will move the bottom “pivot” bar they created up by drilling a new hole and drilling two other holes in the 3...

I will look through it more, there are some photos and sometimes a description but not paint numbers and not always what type of paint was used. Is the rapco paint actually carc? Or just something similar? I know most people say the behr paint is good but obviously it won’t hold up like Carc...

I don’t want to keep posting new threads but is there any threads where people have posted pictures of their hmmwv’s and maybe labeled the paint color they used? I am trying to find pictures so I can figure out what color I’d like to paint mine. I am trying to decide on grey, blue or a...

I apparently am blind, I have a gep. I wonder how old it is, my engine is a little rusty and runs a little tougher than id like, I wonder if it’s an older one, odd thing is that there is no refresh tag on mine.

Yeah, I was just confused because he was holding one plate in front of the 3 hole bumper. He also mentioned being able to use it on the 3 hole if you drill so I wasn’t sure if maybe he just mounted it on top just to get the right holes for the brush guard bracket.

I see you holding the winch plate to the standard 3 hole bumper, did you just drill some holes and bolt it on top of the standard bumper? It appears mine has been modified already, not sure why but I may just roll with it. I should be able to bolt the top holes in the 3 hole after I drill two...

How do you tell the gm and gep blocks? I have the casting marks so I definitely have the 6.5.

Thanks, that’s the clearest photo I’ve seen so far. Hopefully I can find something relatively cheap, I don’t want a brush guard that much but it would be nice. I’d rather have better seats.

Do you happen to know a way to make it work or what would be the cheapest option? I see some winch bumpers on eBay for around $100, not sure what other parts are needed besides the brush guard brackets.

Hey, Someone had a pretty cheap old m998 brush guard so I grabbed it. Only problem is that they didn’t have the brackets to mount it to my Hmmwv. Does anyone know which bracket I would need? And where I might find them, hopefully relatively cheap.

Sorry for the audio, there may be a better solution but this was only $35 for everything.

So my generator is the 200 14/24 and I am trying to figure out how to connect 12v items. I know I probably sound stupid but obviously 14v is not 12v but I do know even 110/220 is not actually those at a steady rate. Is 14v able to power and not cause issues with 12v accessories or do you still...
