I shoud have added: the Draw-tite hitch does not have the large hole required to mount the military pintle. I have a 4 bolt pintle mounted. I thought about making a hole but there is a warning sticker on the hitch: do not cut or weld.

My 94 H1 has a "Draw-tite" hitch bolted to airlift bumper and inner braces, Looks like as easy installation. You can remount your pintle above the receiver and have both mounts in place. I agree it is probably not as strong as later H1 hitch.

These were designed to use with both 2 and 3 point seat belts. Hence the sewn pocket that has to be opened up for 3 point seat belt brackets. The instructions come with the complete top kit. The hardest part was trying to fasten some of the turn buckles. Needed some Texas sunshine/heat to...

Do not use smart box made by Lau Ind. These are so smart they start the HMMWV on their own and have destroyed some!

Your idea sounds good. I guess some ofus use chalk because that is what is in the TM and we don't want the "motor sergeant" hollering at us.

Great job on the wheels. They look new!

Do not forget to disconnect battery ground when changing your switch or doing any other electrical work.

If you want to install the 3 point seat belts a good time to do it is when you have the old seat base out.

Try Feltz Tire near Red River Army Depot. Shipping very reasonable or drive over since Lonesome Dove is not that far.

I just used regular chalk and marked broken lines so there would be less chalk to remove. Actually I painted over some chalk and was not visible. I don't think it makes any difference whether you do brown or black first. I did one panel at a time: hood, fender,etc Don't worry if it not...

Good projects. Sounds like you know what you are doing. Good luck!

Diesel Blazers seem to be hard to find around here. As has been said military trucks have lower mileage and often less rust. Original military trucks seem to be harder to find. When they were really cheap all kinds of modifications were done. I guess it just depends on where you are and the...

I would look for M1101/2 series. Aluminum, more modern, probably the tires will be almost new.

Check inside diameter of drums. I had one on front that gave me fits.

I would go with new smart start box if possible. Do not use ones made by Lau Ind. The S3 control box: 6110-01-542-7901.

Andy: Good point about numbers in service. I have been tempted to buy another lawn mower relay and dissect it to to see the construction...probably someone has already posted that and I missed it.

Heavier HMMWVs required higher tire pressures and more bolts to hold the wheels together. The airlift bumper was stronger and has outboard shackles for hoist/airlift. In civilian application it gives much better protection to the rear of the HMMWV and is well worth the cost, I feel.

Agree. The window track was easier to install with interior door panel off but the plastic is old and fragile, especially the clips at the top.
