So I was looking at Hummer H1 interiors for build inspiration and noticed they dont have the cross brace behind their front seats. Has anyone removed that brace from a HMMWV? A couple more inches is always helpful being 6'-1" tall. (That's what she said!)
I have found a 1994 k2500 suburban near me with a locked up motor. I'm curious about building a 6.2 turbo motor with the 4l80 swap.
Is this a good donor? Would the heads or fuel pump and injectors or any other parts be good upgrades?
Just found the 335 and 365/80r20 MSAs right before I saw your reply. They look like they could be the 335s on a 20. That's a 41x13.5r20-ish...
This would be doable with a 2 inch body or spacer lift
Anyone happen to know what the wheels and tires are on the humvee nxt? Almost looks like a 20" mrap style wheel. Video I saw said that they are also a larger diameter tire but no specifics were given and i have yet to find the specs...
I have been looking at getting a set of mrap 20" aluminum...
I've read on several other threads through various forums that the military tires have a thicker bead and that the civilian tires will not seat properly. Is this a real issue or can it be overcome with some sort of pvc bead locker cut to a wider width?
Can anyone verify if a civilian tire can be effectively used on a 20" military wheel? I'm specifically looking at the 20" aluminum hutchison's and wanting to run a 37x12.50r20 or similar on my hmmwv...
Found a smoking deal on a 6.2 motor with the banks kit installed. Motor condition is unknown but turbo appears to be good with no noticeable shaft play. Is there any reason I can't swap the necessary parts into my low mileage m998 engine?
im getting a bunch of conflicting things online as to what can and cannot be done...
i want to put an overdrive in the beast and i have been looking at 700r4 and 4l60 transmissions as i dont want to have to deal with electronics at this point.
is the shaft that connects the engine to the...
I am contemplating putting a high flow conical filter where the stock filter housing is and either a high flow muffler or just a muffler delete on my hmmwv with a 6.2. If I do these and turn the fuel pump up about an 1/8 or 3/16 of a turn, should it see a noticeable increase or am I looking for...
My brother in law is a commercial airline pilot and this is what he recommended as well. at least similar but has a different brand preference as most do.
I am still trying to wrap my head around Humvee costs vs old jeep costs too...
thats very true. I guess the concern is interior noise for her. i cant imagine people paying that kind of money for an h1 if they cant hold a conversation in it. maybe i am wrong as ive never ridden in one.
plan is to add some sound deadening to the passenger compartment and maybe inside the...
My hmmwv has an arctic 4 man soft top on it. It is quilted so I imagine quieter.
The engine is a bit louder when cold. You can hear the change when the temp gets to about 120. Not as sharp sounding. I also know a lot of the noise is tire noise but if I let off the throttle, we can talk...
I ended up parking my HMMWV right behind an H1 at dinner the other night. was a restaurant that had outdoor seating so i noticed when they left that they seemed to have the 6.5 turbo motor but theirs was much quieter than my 6.2.
I do realize that i bought a military vehicle and really do...
i want to upgrade the axles as the blazers have the 10 bolt axles iirc. i had a 82 chevy truck on 37" mt tires with the 10 bolts and they were the first part to break on a sandy hill climb early into that project. just figured if im buying milsurp i might as well get mil strength as well.
as...
