I am dropping the truck at a local welding shop and kicking in a large chunk of hard earned money to have the stock brush guard heavily modified. Will use square tubing. It will go up to tue lift hooks on the hood like the Predator grill guard. Should be able to bolt the Jack and other...

If you use your imagination and close your eyes it tastes like a blue slurpy slushy drink from the corner stop and rob. Actually it just tastes like refreshing God’s country.

By the way. The camera takes away the significance of the inclines. The ramp down on the glacier lake is so steep it is a serious pucker factor x10. The creek you will see is severe approach and depart angle all iced over. Looks easy Peasy in the video but severe in person.

Thanks guys. We got a lot of video. I was too busy today to edit. But the fellow that organized the ride made a great one. Link below. Now that we know how to get there I can go on my own. Will set up camp and spend the night. The Humvee was perfect. Didn’t skip a beat. Rubbed the right...

Excellent off road trail day. Made it to the Knik glacier. Parked the Humvee on the glacier and went exploring with the dogs.

I haven’t figured out the right kit to take with me yet. Just basic stuff so far. Thinking about wheeling on buffalo mine trail this weekend.

I find the most difficult part of driving at or near zero degrees F is my feet! I can get the cab warm enough to strip down to a hoodie with the occasional side draft through the leaky doors...but my feet turn to ice bricks. When I first moved here I had the truck shipped up about two weeks...

I just upped the insurance coverage on mine - but probably not enough. For $40K ? It would be gone gone gone in somebody else's garage.

I do know that in Clinton, Illinois - The Dewitt County Sheriff office has TWO Humvees that were Government donated to them - both have the fast back and hard tops with turret covers. Kevlar doors. I lived there for years and these things just sit there rotting away. Perhaps a fellow could...

That is a great idea - except I modified the two man curtain to close out the four man top as I didn't have one. My top kit was pieced together here and there and parts are a little tough to get - at least with shipping to AK. But - that's a great idea. The thing is...it warmed up nicely. I...

Well guys, I did make it from the flat lands of high taxes and crooked politicians to the mountains and freedoms of the last frontier in AK. Was able to get all my parts moved up that I'd been sitting on to make the 2 to 4 man conversion.... made a way too long - way boring video of that -...

That's cool - I actually got bored a while back and went looking up movie titles specifically if they had humvees in them.....

State Farm will cover these as well as Progressive. USAA "covers" them - but puts it through a Progressive "commercial" policy.

I don't have a solution - but wanted to feel your pain a bit - I replaced my pump as it was leaky...It is a PAIN to do. There just isn't much room to work there.

mine ended up being a damaged thermal switch on the intake. Somebody must have stepped on it - even though the truck says all over (NOT A STEP) or something...but it looked okay till I wiggled the connector and saw it was broken from the housing making hit or miss connection and the same...

I'm sure you guys have seen the H1 (red) with the camper shell - if not...here is the video link: So...seems like I wasn't that far off. But, now that I see this conversion, I realize doing one with the four door is THE way to go. I'm shipping mine to Alaska today - and this is something...

Maybe you mentioned it - but it is my understanding it it crucial to get a diesel spec torque converter when doing these swaps. Keep up the great work - I came across one of these and passed on it since I found no credible info from successful swaps and I wasn't ready to blaze my own new trails.

Last night I installed one of the KATS 600 watt 41 mm block heaters. It fit in the frost/freeze plug hole on the drive side back near the oil filter. I found it was easiest to use an air hammer to rat tat tat on it and rock it out. The long screw driver and hammer just punched a hole in it...

I just spent $4K on my son's car - do the math. Don't know if I should just sell it or what. I still have THREE other cars to get there too. UGH

I have a bid for about $5,000 now - it would be picked up here in Illinois and transported via truck/trailer (multi car-hauler) to Seattle area...then put in a container at the port and shipped on. I plan on pulling the mirrors off. I don't have anyway to link up with anybody else doing this...
