Thanks for the update. Very much appreciated.

Any new updates patracy? Are you still happy with the kit? I was wondering if you ever tried it with your trailer or ever took any videos of the boost/egt while driving around? I’m in a holding pattern getting my 4spd in and then it’s tires and turbo. thanks

I agree 100%. Let the experimenting play out! I am pretty certain having a high maintenance, low fuel economy, crazy loud military vehicle is 180 degrees away from the most practical solution for getting from point A to point B. I appreciate he is sticking his neck out and trying something...

They had them for sale for a while, then were only selling blemish tires for crazy high prices over $300 for a blemish tire, then they stopped offering them. I saw a lot of mixed reviews on them, ranging from great experience to them coming apart. I was looking at these myself but I think I'll...

Thats an approach I never thought of. I have a M1102 cover that could benefit from that approach. Its 90% together but has tons of little gaps or holes scattered across it.

Terra1936 I'll add my experience with tops and doors. I thinned the behr with denatured alcohol to allow it to spray thin coats out of my cheap automotive style spray gun. I did three thin coats a few hours apart and its held up really well over two years of constant use and wind flapping etc...

I ordered my transmission from Bowtie last week. It’ll be shipping in 10 weeks per their current backlog. As TOBASH said they ask you a bunch of questions about the truck and how you intend to use it and put together the entire package, transmission, torque converter, flex plate, dip tube...

And you need all those 12V draws to be coming from a 24V to 12V converter that draws evenly from both batteries. Lots of us myself included use the Pyle units. I haven’t had any issues with mine but I put a heavy duty switch on the power leads running to it from the battery as step down...

Thanks this makes sense now!

I'm sorry guys, I am dense or something. I went under the humvee looking at the image from the TM and the bottom of my stock 6.2 and also looking at your pictures and I am lost as how these merge back together to go to the muffler. No rush but when you have a chance could you share how you did...

Hi All - I thought I would pass along some lessons learned for doing the geared hub seals. This may be obvious to some of you but the TM's never call it out and the youtube world has multiple ways of attacking this work and all seemed overkill and way longer than needed. So what I did was...

This was really awesome! Can I ask for some pictures of it installed and/or a walk around video of the truck? I'd really appreciate a zoom in on what you did with the exhaust and where it would have gone. I really dig the idea of doing this + a 4L80. An I agree with your assessment. For...

I like this thread idea. Here’s a few out and about pics from the past year and a half. My theme is haulin’ stuff. Kids, bikes, kayaks, surf rods and lots of construction supplies.

Looks really nice! As soon as I can get a break from the day job I need to start calling a few shops I was referred to and get my transmission swap underway. I’m leaning toward the 700r4 due to the reasons you mentioned plus the gear ratios seem well matched to the needs of better 1st gear from...

All that work and no cool videos or pictures to share :)

I also was wondering about first hand experience people might have. One reply in another thread suggested it was a good kit other than the exhaust routing which may be updated now. I wish they had some videos or more details. I wonder also if the heads would need to be studded for this kit...

The “dirt every day” guys did a whole motortrend show on shortening a humvee to jeep wheelbase and turning it into a rock crawler. They’ve got it on YouTube showing the entire build from surplus to finish.

The video of a humvee doing donuts in the snow at a VFW parking lot would go viral pretty quick. Just saying if you wanted to launch a YouTube channel! Enjoy it. I miss the snow sometimes now being where 2” of snow is breaking news. I don’t miss the salt and slush.

The weight can’t hurt but I’d try out how it is first. Do like my parents did 30 yrs ago teaching me how to drive in the snow. Go to an empty unplowed mall parking lot, get going about 20 and try to put it sideways or stop fast. You’ll get a sense real quick of where the limits are and best ways...

Have you guys seen the kit BMI is developing and now says is for sale for a full mechanical turbo for hmmwvs? They have a 6.2 and 6.5 kit. I’d like to see some reviews of it at some point. They are 3 hr from me so maybe a road trip. My friend is a Detroit diesel mechanic and I want him to give...
