    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yep. The seats are Corbeau seats and the paint is custom Lamborghini Reventon paint. There is a backstory to that but I was able to attain the paint code and get it mixed. The Rocker Panel protection is factory H1. The Hmmwv doesnt have much side impact protection so I added the H1 RPP. I...

    Tachometer testing

    It's funny you post this. I just sent my tachometer back because I couldn't get mine working either. Tried on both the Alternator 'AC' post and Ground as well as on the yellow transmission component behind the doghouse cover and no luck.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Well that's the million dollar question isn't it. The answer is......it depends. Objectively speaking the design itself is outstanding. It's innovative and modern. It gives the truck a whole new feel. It allows for the installation of a modern framework in a truck that never had an option for...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    So the dash is basically two parts. The long piece that spans the width of the truck and the dog house cover piece which has the passenger friendly electronic chargers and cup holders. That piece goes on top of the existing dog house cover. It's secured by thumbscrews. You simply twist them out...

    So, I got the dash installed and it has been a pain in the ass. The bulk of the work is done but there are still some significant fitment things I need to work through. If anyone is thinking about buying one of these hit me up and I'll give you the things you need to be aware of before you...

    Removing the dash

    I missed the obvious bolt location due to paint covering and likely weariness :) but I got them out. Now the real question is whether or not to save the AC / Temp knobs. Thanks all

    Removing the dash

    It's these 2 bolts to the left that refuse to come out. With no access to the nut in the back I'll have to cut them out which I really didn't want to do. Even in cutting the heads off the bolts, the shanks will fall behind in that box and rattle around forever. But these 2 bolts hold the dash in.

    Removing the dash

    @Mogman how in the world does a person get to the nut behind the (2) 27 bolts. When I'm trying to take out 27, in true HMMWV fashion, it just spins and spins 😃

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    In the carpet I used Dynapad which is water proof and the carpet is marine grade. As for the seats they are essentially a type of vinyl so they will be fine. Also, I live in So Cal and we dont get a lot of rain and the truck stays garaged. Lastly, my turret doesn't really leak but I've never...

    Still working on the interior. I installed new seats over the weekend. Dashboard project is next then to finalize carpeting.

    Colorado revokes HMMWV registrations.

    With the shear number of vehicles being sold, there will be some states that move away registering them. But there will be holdouts. As long as there is reciprocity all should be well.

    What is the function of this component inside the TOW missile trucks

    One things for sure, that piece is extremely challenging to remove.

    What is the function of this component inside the TOW missile trucks

    What is the function of this? Would it stabilize the missile to be handed to the gunner above?

    Replacing the HMMWV Seats

    How much room do you have to close a hard door on your front passenger and rear seats?

    Replacing the HMMWV Seats

    Yeah, that's my concern. I'm going to run by a dealership today with a tape measure. The reason I selected these is because jeep seats tend to have those shorter more narrow bases than standard passenger cars/trucks.
