I'm the one who posted it and they're still working well! Much appreciated in the Utah winter...

Yeah, call these guys. Steve will take care of you.

A local gasket company in Salt Lake. I think this one... Pioneer Gasket Manufacturing Company http://www.pioneergasket.com/

Here's what I did: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?147917-What-have-you-done-to-your-HMMWV-today-lately&p=1939986&viewfull=1#post1939986

To *help* prep for the wet weather, I got a FRAG #5 Armor Seal Kit to use as weatherstripping for my doors. Worked great!

A lot of wisdom being spoken here. And I can vouch for 86hmmwv and Retiredwarhorses - great guys to deal with. I couldn't have built this without them.

If you haven't done it yet, I'd put a fresh set of glow plugs in. That'll do wonders for starting the engine on a cold winter morning.

Barstow/Yermo MCLB is a Logistics base strategically located with tons of equipment ready to deploy by rail, so most of it will never be for sale. Picked up there last year and scheduled a base tour and it blew my mind to see all that heavy equipment ready to deploy. Truly amazing. The...

Possibly, but if the price is right it's good to stay mil spec.

I am not trying to stay dry.... just a little quieter.

I had to cut off the old beat-up weatherstripping on my hard doors and am looking for alternatives. The OEM seal wasn't thick enough to form a good seal around all the corners. Has anyone found a good aftermarket alternative? Seems like a 1" wide, thick seal with heavy-duty doublestick tape...

There is a thread out there explaining the two heavy-duty bumper options in detail, but this is all I could find for now.

Just a tip here - I've used this self etching primer rattle cans on some small parts that I've had to take down to bare metal and it works great. Plus, it turns out to be a pretty nice olive drab color... https://amzn.com/B003CT498A (But it's only 5 bucks at Home Depot) Rust-Oleum 249322...

For me it's been through relationships made here on these boards and in the community.

Sounds like you did it the right way.

Yep, had to modify the MSG running boards in the spirit of field expediency. Who knows how long it would've taken to find the correct Jack rails, etc. They have all probably scrapped with the SF trucks that had em. So I decided to cut off the original brackets and make these running boards...

Got the weapons mounts and kit installed for the parade. Fun weekend! The boys ready to roll, equipped with water grenades and super soakers! After pulling the cannon through, the ROTC guys needed a ride. It was a full combat load of 20 people!
