    EUC was approved today, could not get in touch with my point of contact probably because I found out late in the evening. Calling first thing in the morning to schedule pick up!

    My first Humvee build

    Welded up the manifold and even had a chance to get up close and take some measurements thanks to Mike Vaden at Black Dog. Learned two things while fabbing this up, one i got a lot to learn about welding and two grinding an ugly weld is a huge pain in the ass! Either way this is only a first...

    I have not posted anything on this in a while so I decided to write a short story :) I do not remember if I mentioned it or not but I bought an 1983 n/a 6.2l with a 700r4 transmission bolted to it for 200 bucks from a guy that was going to scrap it. I used the motor as a way to familiarize...

    I have been researching the different years and the changes/options available for the 6.2 vs 6.5 diesels. This research has led to the understanding that the 6.2s were never manufactured as turbo but later installed banks turbo kits on at the dealership. The 6.5 came turbo charged with early...

    My first Humvee build

    Most definitely. I have been doing a lot of research using the wealth of knowledge here. I already know it needs some minor parts just from govplanets inspection. Driver side mirror assembly Driver seat back cushion X doors (paint doesn't matter as long as they are not delaminating) Batteries...

    Thanks guys, my wife will see the light at the end of the tunnel after we come out the other side, she wakes up and she's blinded by its light. That being said I have had to jump over things before to accomplish goals so I guess this is no different lol. Also I posted a request for...

    My first Humvee build

    Hello all :) As stated I am a noob to steel soldiers and have been using the knowledge and experience of the users to "edumacate" myself on the inner workings of these wondrous machines.
