Hello @KevinGaus ! On page 2 of this thread, in this post, I found my (I think they were 1/2") u-bolts from TNJ Murray (P/N: 11609677) but the link is now dead. Searching TNJ Murry for "u-bolt" it appears they have u-bolts for the LWS gun ring system, but I'm not sure of the outside diameter of...

There wasn't any gasket on mine at the hard top cutout. There was a lot of white caulk inside and out. I used a razor blade to clean up the exterior fiberglass and interior aluminum portions. I then used clear silicone on the exterior fiberglass only; under it, around the edge, and on each bolt.

Here are some measurements to help answer some of the common questions that I've been asked: Hard top hole location & dimensions: ***Warning: The following measurements are not all perfectly precise and some were eye balled. My intent is to help you get pretty close so please use at your own...

You are too kind. My mother would call me impatient :shrugs: :razz: But you are very welcome and by all means ask questions! It's so helpful to have somewhere to ask questions. I've actually seen a very small number of military vehicles in person, fewer deuces, and this is the only M66 gun ring...

My left and right wind shield hing "wingnuts" look to be the same to me. I mean, they are pretty "flat" I suppose. However, they are one item that I've paid little attention to so I can't comment how or if they are different from other trucks. The wingnug It is about 1-7/8" from the...

Thanks Goldy for the compliments, it means a lot to me! None of it is perfect, I made mistakes, cut a few corners, but largely would do the same thing over again. I will take some pictures of both left and right-side windshield hinges, but my initial guess is that they are stock/original and...

I also wanted to point out how after driving through a pouring rain storm the spring barrel clamp appears to have corroded badly. To me, this shows shoddy workmanship from BMGParts.com. It appears they just parkerized over the old rust and never actually cleaned the thing up. Disappointing...

I had taken a number of up close shots of my M66 gun ring including the pintle/pedestal mount cap and hand brake. I thought it may be of use to also share with others who might be looking for such detail, and yes, I did mount my new "100 CAL .50 LINKED" ammo cans :) ) Note: the hand brake in...

They are similar, as they use the same 1" wide nylon strap and buckles, but I don't know about the length, I didn't measure them. I got mine from TNJ Murray's, as well as several other needed and awesome parts as linked in this post on page 3:

That looks like it's for a convoy light or antenna. Definitely not for a gun ring.

I haven't used anything else other than the heat shrink. I'm going to try the Plasti Dip. In the actual can (not the spray on), like this: https://www.amazon.com/Performix-12213-Plasti-Dip-Black/dp/B00I9SK8XY/

Just this past weekend, I lucked out at a gun show. I was able to find three .50 "Linked" stenciled ammo cans with all matching paint, lettering and lot numbers! These will look a lot better in the mounted ammo can trays than my "5.56" stenciled cans! I considered getting more than just these...

Yes, you most certainly can still access the rear leg u-bolts after the plate is in, as seen in Post #107. There was no other interference with the seat, other than the seat belt rubbing rather hard on the plate. You can still access the seat belt mounts on the back of the cab too, it's only a...

http://www.stanleyengineeredfastening.com/brands/pop/rivets/types I did a bit of digging, and according to this website, I would think these pop rivets, specifically, appear to have the following characteristics: Blind Domed head Interlock or Structural (previously called Ultra-Grip) (The...

It might be pertinent to this thread if folks want to see a bunch of pictures of my truck off-roading with this gun ring set up. It was dry, hard ground with some surface sand and many loose rocks. It was just about perfect, except that some of the trails were a little narrow for 6x6's. I...

Why thank you Mr. clinto! That is high praise indeed and I am quite humbled for you to say so. It was quite the adventure for sure, that I was just learning my way through. I don't regret it, but I'm a little burned out on projects ;) In this kit they are P/N 12315644-2 (SSPV) The rivets are...

So I broke down and paid the $150 for the barrel spring clamp from BMGParts.com since apparently they are very uncommon and I did not find them anywhere else. That was well over double what I was hoping to spend for one, but at least this one is complete and in excellent shape! The pictures I...

This information is hard to find, and since (at the time of this writing) I am looking for a barrel clamp assembly to put on the passenger front gun ring leg, I thought it should be documented where it won't be lost (when my want ad is deleted): In these pictures: NSN: 1005-00-560-6435 P/N...

Thanks!. It's high temp BBQ paint, from a spray can :P

Not the greatest photo with the shadows cast on the truck, but the truck makes up for it. ;)
