Recently picked up a brand new OEM Warn HMMWV winch. Originally I thought it was for the front, but it turns out it's the rare one for the rear. It also appears to have twice the cable as a front 12k. The control to make it free vs engaged is on the back. Just putting these pictures here for...
Got the predator lightbar mount installed. The 52" LED light bar should arrive tomorrow. I'm also working on replacing all the wood troop carrier seats just in case I ever get to go to a parade again.
Installed the bumper yesterday. My lightbar mount from Predator shipped yesterday and I'm thinking of putting 9" or 11" lightbars in the corners of the IBIS TEK bumper. I'm also waiting on the fairlead to arrive.
Well to start, the paint is bad quality and led to galvanic corrosion with the steel bolts and aluminum bumpers. There are several welds that are cracked. The aluminum is also bent just from mounting the bumper. Some GI had to redrill the holes because IBIS TEK did not have the spacing correct.
Painted the ibis tek bumper after 2 hours of sanding it today. The more I worked on it in detail, the more I understood why the CEOs of IBIS TEK are in prison. I'll install it later this week. Purchased all new dock bumpers for it, $5 each on zoro.
Got the tubular brush guard on tonight. Took off the winch plate, drilled, tapped, and centered the brackets to the plate. I found out that the winch hole is not center on the plate at all. I only paid $100 for everything and I still have extra brackets it came with.
Installed some IBIS TEK bulletproof windows. Got the glass, pins, and mounting brackets from a friend of mine. Only modification required is smooshing the defroster down with a sledgehammer and installing the brackets. Fits in any regular windshield frame. These have electric defrosters so I...
Put a face lift on the "Rod Hall" GMV last night. About time considering I have had these parts in my garage for months. Still have to put on the new tubular brush guard and the missing hood pieces. Some before and after pictures
Picked up a M1025A2 off the most recent GoDove auction Friday. EUC wait time was 3 months, but two of those months it was approved and I was told the person that signs them was on vacation. Not even 5 minutes off the trailer I had it doing jumps. I'm going to post the "Rod Hall" suspension in a...
