Received aluminum hinges for mounting aluminum doors to my Humvee. 6”wide x 20”long, 3/8” pin. Will trim excess material off one side of each as necessary. Will be through bolted. Vendor is great to work with. Will fabricate any hinge you can think of. These are from available stock material...

Congratulations 🎉 May your efforts be rewarded with many trouble-free miles/years of service! Please continue providing pictures and narration of your complete Humvee build. Documentation of your experiences benefit many of us with similar challenges ahead of us!

Posting these pics for those that may be curious how Line-X is applied. Cost in my area is about $10.25 per square foot of coverage, 1/8” thick. Today had a M1114 steel hardtop sprayed. Complete procedure took 3 men x two hours. This hardtop is modified to fit my M1152A1 I’m reconfiguring to...

Already had back wall sprayed. Will use silicone sealant to fill gaps between wall and truck bed. Will paint tan to match after hardtop is sprayed.

I don’t know whether you actually have a turret, or rather a factory plug on the hole a turret would be installed. My hardtop has a plug and I have an appointment end of next week to have the entire hardtop sprayed with Line-X. That will encapsulate the top with a membrane totally waterproof...

There is a rivnut for armor attachment in that same spot on my Humvee.

That crossover air duct is 2 1/2” inside diameter on my Humvee, and facilitates air flow to driver side footwell under the dash. You should see an air vent there on the right side of footwell. You should also adequately insulate the duct, as it snakes directly over top of the engine.

Attached photo was my source for these. Please note they are sold as a set of four. The unit with green wrapper is for the driver position.

Continuing conversion of my M1152A1 (2 seats) to M1165A1ish (4 seats). Covered rear tunnel area with 3/4” rubber mat, over 3/4” plywood, over 1/2” solid foam insulation, over Dynamat. Trimmed with 2” aluminum angle.

The flexible rubber shrouds left and right of the cooling stack (in conjunction with a third rubber shroud attached to the hood) are (I believe) there to help fresh air be channeled directly through the hood grill with protective screen. The shrouds also minimize surrounding airborne debris in...

Installing Dynamat to mitigate road noise. Also installing 1/2” solid foam insulation and 1/4” rubber matting. Sourced 4’x8’ insulation from Lowe’s, rubber matting in a roll from Tractor Supply. Have used the 1/4” rubber for many applications throughout the Humvee build. Ordered 72 sf of Dynamat...

I can only wish I have done this! Check out these “Humvees” https://youtube.com/shorts/nPbuPZORBzI?feature=share

Stop the annoying gouging of the air intake side cover. Simply remove the right side hood latch, grind 1/8” metal from inside edge (see area marked in red). Repaint, re-install. Hood opens easier and no longer contacts the air intake cover. Yes, I still need to repaint intake cover.

WOW! Your’s must be the strongest rails out there! They look great. 👍👍 I had my C-pillar/bulkhead and D-pillars sprayed with Line-X to encapsulate the steel to mitigate rusting. That barrier also helps to prevent rust staining where those parts attach to the aluminum fenders.

I don’t know about “OEM” GMV side rails, mine are aluminum.

Had C-pillar/bulkhead and D-pillars fabricated of steel. Truck is a M1152A1B2FK5. I

Front left replacement panel

Installed a pintle extension. May never tow anything with my Humvee, but this adds a substantial layer of protection in the event of being hit from the rear.

Looks good. I haven’t noticed tribute to the USAF on a HMMWV until yours. God bless every service member, past, present, and future! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
