What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[Dr Zoidberg MD]

If trying to do a bumper on the cheap, It strikes me that the 4 support braces are not really necessary as all of the weight is on the the inner and outer brackets.

Sort of like whistlepig's earlier statement, they're probably good to have if you plan on airlifting it, but not really necessary for our purposes.

Well, I have tracked armor. So the next logical acquisition would be an aircraft right?

Unstuck some folks on the road, did better than I thought it would.

Put a "new " left rear door on to replace the original cause the window threading is ripped, put a door handle kit on the other rear door which was missing the handles.

I probably should know what that is, but I don't:

- What is window "threading"; like a screen or something?

Does this pic help?

Andrew, I vote for one of those USN riverine boats, like in the recent Iran incident:

- I don't know what they're called but it's hard not to like "go-boats" (especially when they're MV).

Ok last picture, I just like taking pictures of the truck haha. I've put more miles on it during the storm than I have in the last month, and its a monster. Pulled out cars/trucks and blew through snow drifts without a hitch, love this thing.

Drove it to church this morning and back. Not much, but I did drive it. Fired up the 5 ton as well while I wrenched on the Liberty. CUCV apparently said no on starting, guess I need to do glow plugs in it.

I doubt you really had to take off your hitch to blow through snow drifts. Those sweet 24 bolt rims will get you through twice as much snow as other trucks.

"without a hitch" is an expression of speech, right!? I'm thinking that's what it was he meant.

And you're right, those rims are sweet; for sure.

 

[DatGuyC]

Lol I'm not sure if that was sarcasm or not, but yeah no hitch was removed. I actually have a hitch off an H1 sitting in the garage that I have to mount up eventually, but I'm too lazy and its cold as **** which doesn't help the situation.

Language:

- It's slippery stuff.

 

[SublimeMudTime]

I'm glad no-one on SS blew a gasket or came un-hitched with this storm. I know some slippery slopes have been navigated on the forum and on driveways.

Kinda finished my 4 man conversion from the troop carry. A bit of advice for someone who is trying to piece the conversion together.... Just buy the complete kit. You will spend just as much parting it together and its take much longer. Anyhow, one of these days I will get some X doors to go with it.

 

[leo4x4]

I just finished my slantback conversation decided not to put the turret for since the leak so bad.

 

[DanM7890]

That looks great leo! Wish I had your doors, slantback, paint...and the rest of the truck!!

 

[leo4x4]

Lol

 

[leo4x4]

The door were x Doors and i found the armor skins. And installed my self.
