The pieces look very nice.
I've got the set from DEF Model with suspensions and wheels easier to find in my opinion.

I thought so too! I got the DEF first, But I used the D corporation online instruction to build the suspension , later I realized that what the heck ......?so I had to buy the D set

I recently completed one of these. Didn't do any mods as you are planning, but if you have questions fire away!

I don't get it...what kit are you using? The Academy one? I know the Academy kit is fairly inexpensive, but after adding the update sets and extra work needed (fixing the Academy suspension), your going to be spending even more money then just getting the Bronco kit!

It's not that simple. The Academy and Bronco kits are not the same verion. Bronco's is an older M1114 Uparmored HMMWV. The Academy one is an M1151, which is the current version of Uparmored HMMWV. They are quite different in the shape of the roofline and in the armor packages each has.

Under the ammo box of the crows are casting marks. you must cut them off.
