again just thinking outloud .... 12v cummins in running condition will cost you 2k-3k depending on the mileage and work needed. You could find it cheaper in the donor vehicle.
2" body lift for hmmwv to...
subscribing to this thread. I think i will be ordering those smittybilt standard bucket seats before summer ends and getting them installed.
For those who got smittybult, which ones did you guys order? denim or vynil? does your hmmwv gets water on inside, how are they holding up?
Started it on its own for the first time. Finished grounding harness and put new glow plugs. Started no problem and WAIT light worked as it should. So far no problem with glow plug controller.
