I agree @stoner63a is an encyclopedia for the GMV series. I can't wait to see more pics of windshields and other odd armorer. Just wish we could source some of the parts.

Well, we survived the weather down in dfw area. I was still not done with painting the doors but figured our cars we more likely to be damaged by hail than the 1151a1.
We took it for a drive during the rain, and yea, there are several places I have the weatherproof. Not too drippy on the inside but not dry either. The biggest single source was the hatch seal. Second was the doors, and then some holes in the driver side firewall. Attached File |

Get use to the leaks. I have minimized mine to one spot on the passenger side but still drips. These were never known to be water tight.

There's no splash guards for the front tires so all the water slings up off them to on top the shelf and every small opening. Get some Sikaflex 221 to seal up the seams in the tub and I'd use regular RTV to seal up anything you think you may need to take out, like bolts. It's easier to remove than Sikaflex. You'll want to do the seams inside and out. Also don't know if you've seen me mention but it's very worthwhile to get rid of the stock wiper arms and replace them with either H1 or Jeep Wrangler arms so you can run real wipers. Huge difference. |

Thats alot of work. I just ordered the Cepek 17" wheels that @Aguas is running. Debating on running BFG All Terrain tires once the wheels come in as I prefer load range D or E with extra weight I have. Decided to go with non-military due to availability and ease of changing/replacing in the future.

ETA: I suggest not wasting the money on the runflat tool. It's too flimsy for my tastes as it is. It could be modified to be more robust. |

New tires and PVC beadlocks (out with the run-flats). I did all the work myself, and it was a LOT of work. Most of the day yesterday to get three old tires off, beadlocks in the new, and new tires on the wheels. Three of the tires were the originals from the factory (2007) and one was a replacement (2014). The newest one, which by luck I did first, was the toughest as all the grease they put in there had solidified into glue. The three OE ones came off much easier.
I did the last one this morning and drove it around some - the centramatics did a good job of getting the balance right but I still drove it over to Discount Tire to get all four balanced. When the tire guy drove it in, all work stopped as the whole workforce had to come over and gawk at it. They used a lot of weight to get them "pretty close" and now it rides super smooth at all speeds (only got up to about 65MPH or so). Attached File Attached File Attached File Also got the three 40mm ammo can rack, and three 40mm ammo cans, but it looks like I should be able to get four in the rack, or there's more than one size 40mm can.

Finally got my Iowa title, plates, and insurance done last Friday. They even recognized that I had already paid sales tax to Kansas and didn't make an issue about that like they tried on my M35A2 years ago. State Farm coverage with a declared value just like my antique cars.

After years of owning the jack mount that goes in the engine bay, I was finally able to track down all the parts to set the jack in. Looks good and fits perfect but there is no place for the ratchet and rods unless I'm missing something.

Trying to hunt down an 115x/116x series dash duct if someone has a lead on one, preferably not the gold plated model that everyone seems to be selling.
Pretty flexible on condition so long as it's generally intact and usable (missing vents, repairable cracks,etc are fine).
