What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[BLK HMMWV]

Finished set of jack rails for side steps and ammo can carriers. Still need to paint them.
After parade on the 4th I'm loosing the rear hatch and sponsons and reconfiguring it.

Nice, 3000gt! How's it running? I'll have to buzz you the next time I'm in Memphis. It looks like you've done quite a bit since you got it home.


Like a top. Highly recommended different tires and rims as well as a comfortable seat. Did lizard skin on inside and definitely reduces heat and noise.

Wow! Very nice. Can you elaborate on the bedside racks?

Stumbled across the rear enclosure side walls as seen here: http://www.milsysgroup.com/product/humvee-accessories/GMV63000. They're for an 1100-series truck, so not true to original form, but hey it gets the job done.

Hey, if it works it works. And anyway it looks sharp, too.

I lost my lever use to start the truck. Took the screw out and take the lever with me when I park. A theft deterrent, well that was the idea....

I drove mine on a 55 mile round trip yesterday. I have previously been driving it around town and before the drive yesterday I filled up and checked my fuel economy and determined I get 11 mpg (6.5L) in town. I am not sure what my highway fuel economy is. This was the most I have ever driven the HMMWV in one day and I was pleased that I did not have any issues on the short round trip. This October I plan on taking it on a 700 mile round trip and I hope it is up for it!

Did you buy direct? How much coin does it take?

Thanks for sharing!

No sir, a friend had it from scrap. Part of a bundle deal, so I don't remember how much. I'm just going to use it for rucksacks and hopefully ammo cans if I can fab them up.

That stinks when a good idea goes south on you like that.

Good news is theft deterrent works great.
Bad news is theft deterrent is so effective that nobody can use the rig.

Those Military Guys have them for a decent price. I bought extra for just the same eventuality as you describe.

I also thought to drill a 1/4" hole through the flat so I could slip a dogtag chain through it. Now I wear my Hmmwv key when I'm tooling around in her.

I managed to accomplish this today in Moab Utah. No spare. Stuck here waiting for a $400 ride in a tow truck. View attachment 630092View attachment 630091

Those are "run shred"

Installed a conventional rear view mirror. Mounted it just above the wiper switch. Wiper switch not blocked at all. Used a piece of flat stock and the military rear view mirror NSN 2540 00 054 7201 you can get from a few different surplus suppliers. Works perfect. Centered view right through the curtain of the two man high top cargo setup.

Got a few more things done.

 

[NV555]

I ordered my first part for my M998. Figure since in waiting for my 97 I could get ahead of the game a bit.

I think I found a good trailer to haul my M998 back to Vegas from Yermo.

I cant post pictures yet but wanted an opinion on this trailer.
