    Universal X door/Soft Door Stryker

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why would you want to regularly switch between hard doors and soft doors?

    Gunner seat belt removal

    You want to remove the whole plate, although if I remember correctly there *might* be one allen head screw underneath the seatbelt retractor. -Use lots of penetrating oil -Use a quality allen bit on a rachet wrench for more leverage -Clean the head of the allen screws to ensure that your allen...

    options for unarmored body holes

    This reinforces my decision to just use hex bolts 🤣

    options for unarmored body holes

    I used 1/2" hex bolts and washers for the through holes, and 3/8" bolts for the hinge holes. Use quality grade 8 fasteners and antiseize for anything that goes in a threaded hole in case you ever want to be able to remove it.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    More progress on the 50. Got the grips installed, charging handle installed, and a fresh coat of paint. Next step is to make a reproduction barrel. Right now I have a real barrel which probably weighs 40 pounds. It makes me nervous driving around with that heavy barrel supported by 3D printing...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Haha 🤣 Side panels are aluminum, barrel is real, the T&E and pintle are real. Everything else is 3D printed plastic. The side plates are made substantially different than a real gun, so that they cannot be assembled with real M2HB parts and make a functional gun. I'm considering selling these...

    Hmm, what about the 3.5 ton scissor jack, have you had issues with that? Asking because I just bought one.

    Power Steering Pump Options?

    True, but it might not matter. The pump is really screaming at 3000+ RPM. Maybe lower RPM would even reduce wear. Even a 20% reduction would make it quieter and probably not have a noticable impact on performance.

    Power Steering Pump Options?

    What about a larger power steering pump pulley to slow down the RPM's?
