    Slantback M1043A2

    Thanks - I'm happy to learn that. Do you mean a cable would come through the rim and ends attached to the thingy at the center ?

    Slantback M1043A2

    Doors look legit. Skins are composite with a relatively thick steel plate riveted on them. Windows have obviously been recently replaced and aren't bullet proof - which I obviously not need and I will consider removing the steel plate because 1. X doors look auper cool and 2 the plan is to...

    Slantback M1043A2

    Wheels had the CTIS which I'll probably resurrect as that's a lovely option I've been missing since my off-road racing time in a previous life. .

    Slantback M1043A2

    So it's got the heavy doors, hard steel top and slant-back. These were the basic requirements. It's got miles and has been a bit beaten but it drives straight and feels strong and healthy except a couple issues that will require some work. The interior is in decent shape. The turret hole has...

    Slantback M1043A2

    Hi all, I'm new to this community and to Humvees and happy to exchange! Few months ago I got this M1043 that was matching my requirements - even more as there's a surprise on the engine side. It's nicknamed Honey Badger and is said to have been deployed in middle east though I never really...

    ECV Humvee AC kit on a M1123/M998

    Thanks, simplicity is what made me want a M1123. I like how they look, as well, but thats more subjective. I'll wait to learn more about your experience once the 1165 runs.

    ECV Humvee AC kit on a M1123/M998

    Congrats! The M1165 is a fantastic machine. How would you compare the overall owner experience with the 1123?

    ECV Humvee AC kit on a M1123/M998

    Hi folks, My slant back came with a red dot and while I enjoy the ice cold AC, I hate how much room the condenser takes, but I guess it's part of its desert look so I'll keep it like that. However on the M1123 which came barebone and that I'd like to setup as a utility pickup, I've started to...

    1942 MB with fiberglass tub

    This seems to be an old thread, did you get the car finally? There are lots of odd things on it. For the price I'd rather go with a non restored MB/GPW or get a clean CJ2A and 'militarize' it for a couple thousand bucks. As a point of reference, my Willys has a Hurricane engine and some CJ2A...

    SuBZERO13 from France with Chevy M1008

    Hello Stephane! I'm originally from France as well and if your Chevy may look like another pickup truck for US residents, it must look totally mean and badass on French roads (in the middle of Renault Kangoo's and Citroen micro utility vehicles :ROFLMAO:) Enjoy your tuck !

    New M109 owner in NE Ohio

    That's a great truck! It looks awesome. My dream as a kid was to convert a military 'van body' truck into a RV... until I realized during my military service that I hated camping :D

    Hi, I need to find out where these settings are and I will update anything required per the rules. Meanwhile here a photo of the M1043A2 "honey badger" followed by other pics of the Willys and the 1123

    New member and Hmmwv owner from California

    Hello folks, After a few months of finding tech tips on this forum using internet search, I thought it would be fair to take part of this community and I hope to give back a bit, documenting future work on my military trucks. I live in North California and I'm the happy owner of 3 cool trucks...
