Most all the major stuff is done. Got the Black Rhino wheels on with new tires. Round tires that are made of of rubber are so much better than rock hard egg shaped tires
..... Couple of small electrical items and adjusting the brake light switch....

What’s wrong with egg shaped tires! Some people are so fussy!

Installing Dynamat to mitigate road noise. Also installing 1/2” solid foam insulation and 1/4” rubber matting. Sourced 4’x8’ insulation from Lowe’s, rubber matting in a roll from Tractor Supply. Have used the 1/4” rubber for many applications throughout the Humvee build. Ordered 72 sf of Dynamat on EBay. More than half used for the rear passenger area.

Worked great on evaluating effectiveness of insulation in my prior HMMWV.

Great idea to add the additional 2 center braces. Down here in the sub tropics it constantly makes a great puddle and depending on the angle, I have gotten drenched with the driver window open taking off.....
Did you also tap the bows and used screws?
Where did you find the braces?

I noticed that when I got my M1165 - why is there only one bar? I've been loosely looking for a few more since.

OE kits only use one center bar and the bows are only taped/rivet nuts for one brace.
I saw this pic and said duh, why I had not thought or done this before as I can't tell ya how many times I had water slosh forward and shower me till drained off....
search 12342314 2540-01-337-0242 on Ebay. That seller is very resonable on cost and shipping.

I found the other ones on ebay from a private seller, They do make a huge different. I Used large pop rivets so they sit flush, can drill them out anytime

So I ordered new glow plugs from HPG and they arrived today.
Concerns:
- They arrived all together in a sack.
- They don't look very "new"
- Some of the wrench flats are rough like a wrench slipped
- Some of the plating is coming off
Pros:
- They are all 3/8ths
- They all test between 2.0 and 2.5 ohms
Thoughts?
