    LS swap lower radiator hoses????

    All, please see the photos of the Humvee lower radiator hose and give me some input. I just feel like a 90 elbow is going to cause issues…. I think finding a rotating thermostat cover and getting a different hose would be best and maybe also modifying the lower radiator tube.. Just curious if...

    LS swap lower radiator hoses????

    All, I acquired an unexpected project vehicle that is a m998 with a 6.0 and 4l80 swap in it. I'm curious what others have done for a lower radiator hose from the water pump to the radiator. I've got a few hoses that are questionable and leaking and just thinking there has to be a better way.

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    Nice! Yea I tried a few things to get the stuff off but in the end I sanded them off with a DA a 80 grit and then 120 and then hit it with some touch up paint. Came out good! I had thought about repainting the entire trailer woodland camo, probably would have done it if the underside wasn’t...

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    Yea its a 6.5 Turbo motor. not sure what Im going to do with it, but it was free. You should see the trailer now, I touched up a few places with touch up paint and its really nice. For some reason the GovPlanet decals wouldn't come off so I sanded them off. looks perfect now.

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    no worries dude! Post away, let’s see a before and after. I do think you’re going to have to get something that’s more aggressive than vinyl cleaner and restorer. Best of luck!

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    Sounds like a fun project! I wish my trailer was woodland camo, but for some reason those sell for more money. I thought about painting mine but I just don’t have the motivation, I keep telling myself it’s just a trailer. Those canvas covers are incredibly expensive. I’m hoping that I’ll be able...

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    did you get one of the ones from Butner? They had some Tan ones that were really dirty. I would think you would need to use a chemical on them to get them clean.

    Humvee Body Lift

    Can someone give me a lesson on Body Lifts for Humvees? Specifically a M1123 model? I'm looking at what's available online and Im gravitating to the steel brackets. I'm just not sure exactly how you deal with the steering column and what else needs to be moved and adjusted. This is the kit on...

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    Im new to the Humvee world and certain information that Ive been able to find regarding solid axle rigs has been a lot easier. I'm trying to figure out what the WMS "wheel mounting surface" distance is on the front and rear of a Humvee. Is that identical to an M1101 trailer? Regarding the body...

    Using 4l80 in Humvee with LS?

    Can anyone comment that has done an LS swap with the stock 4l80 transmission, is the Holley terminator Max the way to go? Where is the harness that controls all the lights on these trucks and how did you integrate to that? Full 12v conversion throughout?

    Using 4l80 in Humvee with LS?

    Never been a fan of carburetors off road but that’s an easy setup. Wiring isn’t too bad on the 6.6 and 6l90 except you have to take part of the transmission apart to be programmed for a stand alone controller. We will see, I really like the 6.6 L8T platform and most of the LQ engines I’m seeing...

    Using 4l80 in Humvee with LS?

    nice! I won my truck a few weeks ago, engine I’m assuming is toast so just trying to figure out the best course of action. I’ve really been considering 6.6 and 6L90, but idk. Might be easier to just put a LQ9 / LQ4 in it and move on….

    thanks, have no plans to use the troop canopy on the humvee I bought, thought I’d be able to use it on the trailer, dang.

    Would anyone here know if the troop carrier hmmwv cover is the same as the m1101 cover?

    Ill give that a shot when I get it home. I wonder if doing that to the whole truck would clean it up?
