Yep, you can winch the truck backwards with a front mounted winch if you have a pulley. Several youtube videos on this.

You're damn near time traveling speed!

Humvees are plenty capable, but it sounds like maybe you have an issue with yours. Also deep mud is tough for any vehicle even a tank. I would stop making it worse by digging in deeper and start a recovery. Get a winch and/or a second vehicle, you will need that at a minimum. "Mud halfway up the...

Not sure what "NL" is. If you are in H there is a differential between the axles. Use HL or L to lock the center differential and you will be sending power to the front. Unless something is broken. Also, apply gentle braking and gas at the same time to lock the torsion differentials.

Yep, plus they dont look cool. Which is what matters most.

Label is wrong, in a humvee anything over 40 is ludicrous speed. 🤣

Edit: I totally went through the McDonalds drive through like this 🤣

Got the bend in there. Gonna test fit it tonight and then hopefully powder coat tomorrow

Got gardening supplies!

What he said, those are for the rear doors. You should NOT need to drill holes or modify your truck.

Theres a chicken shield drawing floating around the internet, I used that but had to modify it to work with my setup. My clearances are different because I dont have an actual turret and I'm running a short riser, so I had to make my shield a few inches shorter. My shield is made from 1/4...

I would not buy hmmwv parts from ebay, buy from a reputable source such as mac motors.

Thats the best case scenario. Hit the right bump or god forbid a rollover and lets hope you get out before your humvee is a pile of ashes.

Made some progress on the chicken shield

The newer ones (ECV's and REV's, such as my m1151) will accept standard soft doors as well as standard x doors. This is because all of the armor has been removed. If the armor was still installed they would need straight x doors (and soft doors would not work). Edit: There is one caveat. The...

Yes. The strikers are different from hard doors to soft doors, but you shouldn't have any issues besides that.

I'm amazed you can hear a shackle rattling over the sound of a detroit diesel.

Where did you get that!!???

Yep thats typically how I do it in normal vehicles, just didnt know if the humvee was different. Back when I had a 6.2/3 speed I remember people warning about "overspinning" the engine.

What are your thoughts on downshifting while driving down a mountain road? Okay to shift into 3rd to save the brakes? Asking specifically for an ECV truck.
