Cleaned up the battery cables and installed new clamps Installed the keyed ignition switch Upgraded to the A2 steering wheel Retrofitted Civilian wiper blades.

Start from the problem and work toward the battery. Replace the bulb with a known good unit to eliminate the easiest first, Then inspect and clean the socket contacts and socket barrel itself as its the ground path, then look for the power and ground wires and where they fasten and clean that...

Scored a complete Luverne Brush guard. With the mounts, rubbers, spring cables, and bridge plate. Local, too...No shipping!!!

I wonder if thats what I got going on now...It was a knuckle+ low when I changed fluid. Then it started the leak. There is evidence that it has been happening in the past.

today's project...clean out the shifter assembly and install reverse switch

I use fine sand paper, red scotchbrite, steel wool, acetone. Slowly work the layers away. the acetone just cleans away the sanding dust.

I was comparing the dimensions of the Gama Goat's cargo box...88"long x 81"wide to my 2 man m998...87"long x 83" wide. You could probably get one to fit with some customizing of the bows. Like a short 2 man cargo top

I'm planning to replace the wood with fiberglass. The wood just seems out of place on these trucks. To me, the fiberglass boards are synonymous with the HMMWV.

Bingo...I'll bet thats it.

Seems like the dimensions are way off for the HMMWV top. The side curtains would be 4 foot long and the top would be like 12 foot and it should be 7 foot wide. I wonder what they are from.

Troop seats cleaned and mounted up.

Finally did the drivers high back install. Found a fire extinguisher that fit this high zoot mount(MRAP?) Touched up the tailgate and added the conspicuity tape.

What brake fluid did you use? DOT 3? DOT 5?

M998 purchased 12/08/18 EUC (first timer) approved 12/18/18 Picked up 01/07/19 SF-97 recieved 01/24/19 Street legal 01/25/19

Thats crazy. Here in the nation of El Norte, they have a convenient form to fill out to register Military Vehicles for on road use. They accept the MIL-STD-1180B Safety Interface standard. They have no issue with the short VIN. I had everything legal within 24 hours of getting my SF-97

The actual project is a set of cut down seats four man style. I already got the frames cut and welded up. Just need the fiberglass slats. I can make it out of 6 long ones(85"bottoms) and 6 short ones(27" sides) I considered restoring the wood, and the faux wood fencing, but I am really after...

I figured it would be just that easy...but oddly There are none locally...all wood. The cost of shipping troop seat assemblies is the deal breaker.

Cool...that seems to be an OEM for these. Ill call and see if they will deal one vehicles worth. Hopefully no minimum quantity.
