Those are the state flowers in the foreground, the Texas Bluebonnet.
EDIT, of course I am biased but I think the Texas Bluebonnet is the prettiest flower in the world, much more complex than they first appear.

I don’t have any action shots or exotic places to show. I did drive my M1165 for the first time in probably a year and a half. I have been chasing fluid leaks everywhere and I fix one and I find 2 more. My Son and I finally found and fixed ( so far) all but one. I finally got a replacement tire and wheel for it and today we started it. Took a minute to start but it did and it sounds good. We decided that we should drive it to get some fresh diesel and took a short trip in the desert. Turbo truck seems to have more power than my M1123. Most of my leaks was from loose clamps and that’s frustrating from a truck just coming out of what seems like complete reset. I’m excited to get it cleaned up and get my x-doors on it and drive the piss out of it. I still have a lot to do but I feel like I have good bones for a really nice truck. I had a lot of help from members here and I want to thank you for your help!

Pics are awesome! Beautiful people in beautiful trucks seeing beautiful things. I think Eric’s mushroom cap is too far down on his intake. Maybe not but it looks crooked

The intake tube on my humvee is 4 inch PVC pipe
I made a bracket to attach to the A frame like the original snorkel
I’ll check tomorrow to make sure I didn’t screw up.

When I got my M1165 cap was down too far and I’m sure it was restricting the limited flow of air. I don’t think I have ever known or read about a person using truck more than you. I think that’s amazing.

Got about 1000 pounds of play sand and mulch, amazing how the ECV springs work when there is actually some weight on them!

I had a similar usage with mine. I hauled 2 tons of triple 15 and urea Tuesday. It’s Like you said it’s amazing how it rides when loaded up. Hopfully I’ll have a lot of farm chores knocked out in the coming weeks and I can finish my rearview camera install and can start to work on the outside of the truck. I have the rear hinged half doors to put on and I’m currently restoring some x doors, then a scuff and spray to freshin up the paint
