Seems interesting but won't it lock up the brakes in rain or snow? As it is my HMMWV wants to fishtail every time I brake on less than dry pavement. A surge brake like this hitting the pedal hard could create a real issue?
What doesn't leak on a HMMWV? But the turret has been firstrate, like all your work ;). It was an attention getter in the winter when my son rode on the sling driving around town.
Stay tuned for some turret action pics from this coming summer, it will be used for its intended purpose shortly.
My neighbor and I will be driving our sister trucks - both M1165A1s - out to Moab for a bit of off roading. It's about a 300 mile trip (each way) for us.
We'll definitely be bringing tools and a few key spares but I wanted to be prepared for one of the trucks going down.
Which makes me...
I was under the impression that new production had ceased in favor of the JLTV and it was only service/parts for AM General. I freely admit I could be wrong on that.
Just curious - anyone know when the last HMMWVs were produced for the US military, and what are the highest serial numbers seen?
GP has had a few in the low 350xxx range they say are 2012 manufacture; are there any newer than that?
Overlooking the fact that the U.S. inflation is now approaching Brazil levels, an M1165A1 like this is a top-of-the-line choice for both a HMMWV and a viable second car. So it doesn't seem that expensive, all things considered.
Hey Steve is it also correct to your knowledge that the REV B are the >300K range? I've seen lots of ECV trucks (especially M1151A1s) in the 200K range and always assumed those were the basic ECV/Rev A?
This guy is in pretty rough shape, even for a GP truck. It's obviously a non-runner, but I only want it for parts so I don't care.
But I'm wondering what these mysterious markings on the hood could mean?
