More progress on the 50. Got the grips installed, charging handle installed, and a fresh coat of paint. Next step is to make a reproduction barrel. Right now I have a real barrel which probably weighs 40 pounds. It makes me nervous driving around with that heavy barrel supported by 3D printing...

@HoveringHMMWV that looks fantastic!

Wow, this actually worked and made it silent? I'm honestly shocked.

Haha 🤣 Side panels are aluminum, barrel is real, the T&E and pintle are real. Everything else is 3D printed plastic. The side plates are made substantially different than a real gun, so that they cannot be assembled with real M2HB parts and make a functional gun. I'm considering selling these...

Made some grips for the 50

Hmm, what about the 3.5 ton scissor jack, have you had issues with that? Asking because I just bought one.

More 50 cal progress. This counts as hmmwv related right? I'm not building it to go on my Prius 🤣

Same here, I realized the right latch is missing the mating piece and so it will never latch until thats replaced. Edit: info here: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/doghouse-top-pin.174543/

Painted my tire carrier, and made more progress on the dummy 50 cal

Where did you find the sockets?

More 50 cal progress

I feel like if your truck needs aftermarket mods to stay at the correct operating temperature, there is something wrong that needs to be fixed.

Having had both, the first time I changed a serpantine belt I premptively disconnected the quick connect fitting first, which was a pain in the ass because it was stuck. Then I realized I didnt need to do that and was like you GOT to be kidding me!

Made some bumpers for the cupola so that the hatch doesnt slam into it

I'm 3D printing a 50 cal. Trunnion is done, and barrel is a rewelded USGI barrel. Side plates will be aluminum sheets riveted onto the 3D printed parts. Should look pretty realistic when finished without breaking the bank.

I respectfully disagree. I've made a big difference with my truck with pretty minimal effort.

Not sure what cover you are talking about, got a picture? Edit: oh that big heat shield thing? I havent touched that, might be a good idea though.

Let us know how it goes, I'd be shocked if dynamat will stay on the oil pan or bell housing. You have heat, wind, and gravity working against you. By the way I'm working on a very similar project, just having installed horse stall mats on the tunnel and floor. I also installed kilmat (similar...

Hi, is this still available? 🤣

Got the rhino mount all fixed up and mounted. Just need to add the latch assembly and a fresh coat of paint on it.
