We have removed most of the military radio equipment cables in the M1097R1 Humvee. We were able to remove them intact without cutting and have a buyer for some of the cables already. We want to make the passenger compartment clear of military equipment so it is more dog friendly.
There were some stubborn 5/16″ allen head bolts holding down a metal cable protection channel that needed some penetrating oil over a couple days to break loose but we got them eventually.
Here is how the Humvee looked while we did it.

Lucita was able to sew the windows for the back doors that were loose just in time to beat the rain. We will get some photos of them when the weather gets better.
