PSA: Clean your engine valley. I pulled out about 5 pounds of sand, dirt, nuts & bolts, leaves, tie wraps, etc. Drain was blocked and water was sitting in there. I had immediate concerns about IP failure, especially because the water had a diesel smell. But fortunately after cleaning...

4500 is a decent deal IF all of the windows are in good shape, no missing or damaged hardware, etc.

The ones at mac motors are predrilled and countersunk with the correct holes for an m1151. I know this because I bought one. The one you have may be for a JLTV or MRAP, they both use humvee turrets but have different roofs. But thats just a guess.

Did you try rotating it? The holes are not evenly spaced, it only goes on one way. Edit: just realized your plate has 16 holes, so not sure about that. Its clearly not for an m1151. Mac motors has the correct aluminum plate for your truck, and they are reasonably priced.

In addition to what others have said, keep the runflats installed. If you do have a blowout, it will be much less catastrophic. I'm running 2015ish MTR's and they look like new, not a crack to be seen.

The early tailgates with the logo are embossed in the metal. I dont know of any decals available to match that look, but I havent looked. Maybe try ebay? From what I understand, when humvees started being used in combat roles the government didnt want brand names on them, so they stopped...

I use rustoleum camo black for small touch ups. Its a good match and extremely flat (flatter than regular rustoleum "flat" paint). It blends right in.

I dont want to admit how much I just spent installing one of those...:( OP, the trick is to keep the roof adapter on (they are impossible to find) and install a turret.

More turret progress

For the front AC, its probably the heater core valve as you suspect. You can temporarily install a 1/2" pex ball valve to troubleshoot. If that fixes it, you can either replace the automatic valve with a new one (expensive) or do what I did and install a cable actuated valve from an m998.

Started installation of a new sunroof

This. Also, you should clean up your wiring before you have a fire.

Sounds like something you'd find in the personal health aisle. 🤣

Looking really good! Almost reminiscent of an uparmored humvee. Cant wait to see the final result.

The water pump mounts with an adapter plate. I recommend getting a new plate. As for the pump itself, I dont have the p/n on hand but be careful because the 6.2 and 6.5 are reverse from eachother. EDIT: Another member pointed out it depends on v-belt vs serpentine, not 6.2 vs 6.5 MAC motors...

For parts I recommend: MAC motors for OEM parts @86humv here and Beltfed34 on ebay for surplus parts Facebook humvee groups for hard to find stuff

Welcome fellow High Maintenance Money Wasting Vehicle owner!

I have no bottom retainers on my m1151, and no issues so far.

Please dont drill holes in your m1151 windshield frame. If you dont have the right retainers I would strongly suggest modifying the retainer and not your truck.

Oh, forgot you were going through a converter, so my last comment doesnt apply. To answer your question, that depends on the radio, but I wouldnt exceed 14.5v.
