Looks Great!! Think I'll be doing some painting in the spring. Mine is tan as well. Hope it turns out as good as yours! So you prefer the rapco to the behr?

My father-in-law came over today, he drove convoys in Iraq. Usually what I would call a 6x6 but he had another name for it. But he drove a humvee quite often. He even got a metal for helping design a door hinge that would allow the armored doors to work properly.
Anyways, he went over the humvee with me, answering any questions I had. Over each wheel it has "tp 20" or "tp 35". He asked his son what that meant. His son said "Tennessee patrol?" Which was better than I was going to
Come up with. Apparently that's "tire pressure". Anyways, lots of good info he gave me, he was smiling and had some bad stories but made him open up and talk. It was good.

Gotta ask though...do you plan on doing a body lift? Those tires look like they're going to destroy your hood the first time you go off-road...or hit a big pothole.

i am very anti body lift. Id do springs or spacers, in fact a different backspace wheel would make things clear better. but this is temporary for a state inspection. The original tires wouldnt have passed due to tread depth and i had these here

Noticed you used LMTV type seats in the rear. What did you do for mounting them? Hadn't thought of using those. Look pretty good.

Background: I have been dealing with cooling issues. Engine temp would spike and fan would kick in constantly. Flushed the system, made sure belts were tight, fan clutch works as it should. Changed the thermostat. Finally change changed out the Thermostatic fan switch. Bellow was observation Some things to know engine is 6.5 GEP, live in Florida
Ok on the run to pick up my daughter from school. It took longer for the engine to reach 220 for the fan to kick in. Fan actually kicked in at 222 to 224 which would be correct. Once fan did kick in, it ran for less time. A few times the fan would kick in but seamed to be at a lower speed but for only a very short time. Temp now seams to hover at 215 to 220. Tommorws run should confirm even if it's cooler out. Asphalt and cement still reflect heat. If temp is 90 and sunny street level is going to be at least 10 degrees hotter. See this all the time with the wife's van outside temp gauge. At least that my thinking.

Cool pic:
- You can't tell if you took it under a full moon, or in daylight with a filter, nice.

Just for fun because we shoot movies here. Whipped this up in 10 mins with crap in the shop to kill a few mins waiting for a client. It would actually pass as a background vehicle on film haha. Don’t roast me too bad.......
