I've been tracking prices since I got bit by the Green Bug just over a year ago when I bought my HMMWV. A Deuce is also on my list. The $2K-6K is spot-on. I've passed up running but poorly maintained Deuces at the $2k mark (reluctantly...).

Those sure are looking good! Well done. Looking forward to seeing more progress. Bulldogger

Remove and inspect the temp sensor as noted, and inspect and test all wiring connections. At the same time, verify proper electrical connections using the schematic, i.e. make sure the temp sensor circuit is properly wired. Remove, disassemble, clean, reassemble and reinstall Cadillac valve...

I've found a carefully wrapped door in a box the same dimensions, handle removed, can ship for about $35 if I recall correctly. I paid about $100-120 delivered for my doors, not having found four useable ones form one vendor. Since you only need the frames, I'd think you could hold out for...

I got mine by watching eBay over a few months. They do come up, and in varying states of repair, often priced accordingly. It's a waiting game. You can save a search and have it notify you when a listing comes up that meets your search terms. It worked for me. Bulldogger

I also used Mcguires with excellent results. If your windows aren't cracked or broken, I'd give it a try. If the zippers are torn out, but intact, they can be restitched with a glovers needle, outdoor thread and some patience. I did mine. Many would have thrown away my doors, but they look...

Glad that there was only damage to vehicles and not son. Lucky to make it home on those brakes! Looks repairable, and now we're all going to crawl under our HMMWVs and check our started bolts now. Oh, and I would think he'd know by 19 but you might tell your son "Fishing" is where you sit on...

I just made and offer that was accepted for that set of tools too. The guy seems to be in a good mood, if you've some cash to spare, I would suggest you make a reasonable offer! Bulldogger

More than enough there for a restoration. Sorry about the tank, yick. Hope to see your restoration thread start up shortly :-) ! Bulldogger

I have one in Alexandria VA, not terribly west, but I might could make her available. dk8019's might be closer. Mine is an '87 in camo with solid green doors though. Does fit the bill of looking careworn. Bulldogger

Neat! I'd never seen these. Will watch them this weekend with Soldier B, otherwise known as my 7yo son. He will enjoy them, and secretly learn, bwahahahahaha. (It's a parent thing.) About that transfer case shifting.... HMMWV's can shift the transfer case while the engine is running...

Welcome from Alexandria VA, not far away

+1 to the above items in particular, but all are true. My favorite thing to say to people when they are walking up close to look inside is "Careful! Don't scratch the paint!" This is just to mess with them, obviously, since the paint is terrible... But it gets a laugh. Most common question...

Is the fuel clean? Drain the tank and replace all fuel filters if you haven't. The fuel in mine probably sat for 10 years. Once it's running, several tanks of injector cleaner treatment are recommended as well. I won't start a fight by saying which one I prefer because that's like saying my...

Congratulations on the follow-through, most would not stick with the amount of work needed. And I'll add to the previous thank-you for letting us know how she's doing, and that she's getting the attention a veteran deserves. I'm a bit too far away to help, sorry, but I wish you well. Keep...

There is a ground wire from the back of the instrument cluster that connects to the firewall near the fuel filter, and another ground from the harness on that side. Check them both. Your gauges might not be properly mounted either, one of mine was not mounted properly in back, for example...

You did the right thing, but I totally would have been tempted too. It's hard to resist saving old green iron, but we can't save them all. It might pop up again, keep an eye out. If you have space to let it sit and can spare that $1000 or so you mentioned, you could call him in a month and...

What comms rig are you using? Would like one to talk to my 7yo in the HMMWV. Bulldogger

For an air compressor tank, Kreem would probably work fine. I don't think it's any more or less expensive, so kind of a personal preference or availability call then. I have had Kreem soften up and leak in bike gas tanks, especially with ethanol gas, but I did not apply it so I cannot speak to...

I don't see why not. Careful application is the only hangup, but entirely controllable by the person doing the work. POR15 make another similar product aimed at the auto restoration market to seal and protect car/truck frames. They have long experience in making product that adheres well and...
