New HMMWV M1097R1 Guy Has Questions

Hello,
We are proud to have just gotten our first HMMWV, which we got from GovPlanet. So many questions that we hope some of you can help us with.

There appears to be additional stuff that appears to be intercom or radio related.

Is any of this stuff useful for HAM/Amatuer radio?

Thank you

The front trays are for radios and the top has a radio mount. Bottom right is a speaker.

Middle front is another speaker of a different kind.

Mount on rear tunnel looks like another radio mount.

Wires on rear fender, one is for an antenna.

All this stuff has little use in civy world. Some have rigged the speakers for other uses but they are not high fidelity by any means.

I would be interested in the u channel protecting the rear fender wires if you remove.

One of the cables to the top front trays radio mount, I think is the power cable and probably still Hot and connected to power shunt.

I would remove.
Usually all this stuff is removed at demill before being sold.
