    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    I see your point. I'll do one and see how it comes out. I have the wood and a brand new roll of glass so it will only cost me my time. If it turns out to be more of a PITA then I'll scrap the idea and just save up for some true X doors. The labor doesn't bother me one bit. I love...

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    Well I was thinking of making molds so that I can later make more and sell them but because I'm short on time I decided to make 1 off pieces. So I'm gonna start by making the doors from wood and then once I have the shape I want I'll seal it with fiberglass. I think this will make the door...

    Has anyone attempted to make their own hard doors?

    Good morning fellow HMMWV owners, So I've had my Humvee for nearly 6 months now and I have already begun doing many upgrades. One of the first upgrades that I started doing was converting the soft top over to a hardtop. My only problem was the hardtop conversions are way too expensive. So I...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Thanks for the info man. Very useful info. Would you by any chance have any part# for the parts needed? I found a 700R4 adaptor but it comes with a 31 spline shaft.

    Thanks guys for all your help. I'm definitely gonna move forward with the 700R4. I'll do a write up for anyone looking to do the same.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    The duramax/Allison swap won't be happening anytime in the near future and I need a 4 speed auto right now. I understand I'll have small misc cost here and there just like I would with swapping a 4L80E but the swap will still be a lot cheaper than a 4L80e swap.

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Ya I'll have to upgrade the output shaft. But will it physically bolt up to the transfer case? I have a 6.2 so it doesn't make that much power. I'm pretty sure with a HD rebuild it will be able to handle it with no problem. Another reason why I don't want to drop so much money on a 4L80E...

    700R4 transmission in a HMMWV

    Hey guys, So I've been looking into installing a four-speed in my Humvee. And the swap that everyone is doing is though is the 4L80E. The only issue with this is that it needs a computer to work properly and the computer to control it is expensive. So I've been looking cheaper alternatives and...

    SoCali members...who takes their HMMWV off-road?

    Will do. I probably won't go out there myself. I would hate to break down in the middle of nowhere.

    Hydro-boost / hose o-ring help

    I recommend changing the hose. I had the exact same problem as you and did the same procedures as you. In the end my brother noticed a small hair crack on the fitting. Couldn't really see it. So I just had another hose custom made. Get a new hose.

    SoCali members...who takes their HMMWV off-road?

    Are there any SoCal members that have taken their HMMWV on some trails? My HMMWV should be done soon and I sure wouldn't mind getting together with other HMMWV owners and conquer some trails.

    HMMWV Rock Sliders/ Rocker protection

    Those rocker/floor protectors for the H1 are expensive. They're well over $3000 once shipped to you. over

    HMMWV Rock Sliders/ Rocker protection

    I've been thinking about fabbing up my own rocker/floor protectors. I was thinking about using 3/16" for the floors and 1/4" for the rockers. Just need to put some money aside for the materials. Has as anyone on here fabbed their own?

    Opinions on removing the reinforcement behinds seats

    Well I wasn't planning on not adding reinforcement back into it once I remove the beam. I was thinking of adding a roll cage for added strength, especially in rollovers. I was also thinking about adding a skid plate/rocker panel protectors. I suppose I'll leave it in there for now. Until I get...

    Opinions on removing the reinforcement behinds seats

    Yes, those are the ones I'm referring to. Can they just be cut out? I was thinking about later adding a roll cage anyway. So that should stiffen things back up. Any thoughts?

    Opinions on removing the reinforcement behinds seats

    Hey guys, I was thinking about removing the cross reinforcement that goes behind the front seats. It goes from one side of the truck to the other side. I wanted to remove it to give more room for rear leg room. I see the H1s don't have it. Does anyone know if it can be removed with no...

    Alternator went bad. Thinking of switching to 12v???

    I don't mind a little fan work. Does this alternator come in 100amps? I would like to put in at least 100amps, if possible.

    Alternator went bad. Thinking of switching to 12v???

    Ok that's what I wanted to know. I wanted to know if everything else needed to be upgraded. So that would make it more expensive. Guess I'll be keeping the 24V.
