    Gov Planet Refugee

    Should be able to yank that paperweight out tomorrow. This truck is so nice to work on, I don’t think it ever sat outside. All the bolts look brand new and the rubber is all soft and new. I plan on removing all the wiring professionally so that maybe someone else can use it. Idk. The accessory...

    LS motor mounts -what’s available

    Trying to find a nice motor mount setup to stick the LQ9 into my m1123. What’s out there? Looks like Mountain Machine makes a nice setup but it’s $650. Is there a purpose built mount out there?

    Thanks, giving YouTube a shot, still got to work on the audio side. But if you’ve got a moment check it out. Some info on the m998 LS swap is on there already. Deepwood Garage is my channel

    Gov Planet Refugee

    Since I got the Humvee home and found out the engine is bad I’ve been back and forth on putting a Detroit back in it or LS swapping it. I have almost finished LS swapping a friends M998 here and after hearing his run for the first time I’ve made the decision to LS swap my Humvee. There are a lot...

    Gov Planet Refugee

    You might be right, the number on the winch plate has me thrown off, can a vehicle have 2 RUC numbers? M20192 comes back to 3rd Civil Affairs and I found part of their logo in the truck. I wish I could find all the info on this truck so that the history stays with it.

    Gov Planet Refugee

    I was able to rescue my GovPlanet Refugee M1123 on Tuesday and then proceeded to head off to Thanksgiving. Upon my return today was able to spend a little time with the Humvee and today will forever be the day of surprises. I was able to remove some paint and reveal the RUC numbers and learned...

    M1101 just rescued from Gov Planet (GovPlanet Refugee)

    350 miles each way, in Thanksgiving Holiday traffic wasn’t the most fun but mission accomplished. The uHaul trailer wasn’t ideal but it worked. Purchased 9/18 and retrieved 11/26. Now to figure out why it doesn’t run and get it back on the road. I have a 6.5 turbo motor here in the garage...

    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.
