For a rear step, I picked up these on Amazon amd with a little work, works perfect. Next part is to make a door step cover that bolts on to these steps.

Hello. I picked up a M997A2 last year and am in process of also converting to overlander. I picked up a used rear door and reversed engineered it and made my own much stronger than stock.

Thank You. I'll see if I can take better pix for the next 2 doors I'll be making. If this works out, I may decide to sell sets. But I'll let you guys judge. Cheers!

My M997 didn't have any Kevlar lining. The 2 right side doors I purchased were older. They both had an Interesting stencil saying "warning, these doors not to be used in combat". Once I disected the 1st door, I understood why. Very flimsy design with aluminum bracing and hard insulation...

Aaahhhh! I'm ahead of you. lol. I actually purchased another hinge that will go in between the other two to give it more strength. My plan calls for adding a small crane on the roof, possible electrically operated to lift and lower the spare. I'll keep you guys posted as I progress along.

Hello, I just purchased a M997 2 weeks ago with the same issue, no rear doors. However, I was able to acquire 2 right side doors through ebay of which I deconstructed one of them and then reverse engineered a left side door using the same type aluminum, 1/4" PVC sheet, 3/4" plywood (Treated)...

Upholstered my M1031 Bench Seat this weekend. Stripped out the old and installed duplicate fabbed using leatherette (simulated leather). Had to dpo some scraping and sanding to remove rust from the frame, but in the end, very well worth it.

If you're interested, I did the bypass system by using 2 jumper wires on the plug itself. No cutting of any wire involved. I saved all the switches just in case I decide to put it back in operation. If you have to ask why I did this, well, the Mrs. likes to drive my truck every once in a while...

Hey Panzerville, sorry I missed you at Tower Shops. I had to move from one home to another. I picked up the 24V alternator you recommended but am not sure about the 24 v to 12v converter necessary to make room for the A/C compressor. I've looked at several internet sites but not exactly sure...

Repaired lots of rusted panels last summer. Had a new welder, never used and no experience, but asked a lot of questions. At the end, the final product speaks for itself. I love this stuff.

Well, where do I start. I'm kinda new to the sight. I've enjoyed your ideas and have done a few mods myself and quite of bit of repairs on my 1009 and 2 x 1038's. So here's my first post to what I've done to my CUCV. Retrofitted a pair of HMMWV side view mirrors to work on the CUCV. I was...

I actually copied the idea from another member from West Palm Beach Area. I had to reverse engineer "how to" based on several pictures posted here. I did it in 2 weekends and it's worked great. This is my daily driver and I drive it roughly 40 miles daily at 65 to 70 MPH. The stock bumper works...

I was able to pull the entire assembly, to include the wires from the fuse box which went through the firewall and down under the vehicle. If you can, I would recommend going back to the junkyard and getting the factory wiring. It made it very easy for me. Makes life much easier. Good luck.

I took a different approach. Found a H2 Hummer rear bumper carrier on Craig's List and modified it. I was lucky and found a new one in Miami for $225. Spent about $50 in steel to reinforce the bumper and about $25 in stainless steel bolts. I had to remove the pintle, however, it worked for me...

Panzerville, after our meeting last week at Tower Shops, I purchased the 24 Volt Alternator, but still looking for the 24v - 12v step down converter. How many amps did you recommend I should get for the step down? This will be the last step for me for the harware transplant from a civy K5...

Panzerville, I'll see you tomorrow at towershops. I wasn't aware you were near by. Whats' a good time to show up?

OK. You've just given me some inspiration. I've started an A/C transplant from a donor Blazer and almost done. new condenser, hoses, compressor, etc. I'm almost done transplanting the duct work and am now to the point for how to install the a/c compressor. I saw the picture above where it looks...

Hey guys, this is my first post to SS. I've learned quite a bit since I've joined and have been inspired by your ideas. I found a good set of buckets from a 1999 firebird and had new custom upholstery made for them (2 tone balck and beige). I paid $45 for the seats with brackets. I removed the...
