OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

[Maxjeep1]

Took my M1123 out for a little bit. Watched a high speed chase in the desert. Seen cops crash our cars and getting stuck. They were giving me stink eye when I was cruising around. I bet there were 20 cop cars and 2 trucks and a Ranger. Guy got away but he couldn’t have much vehicle left. You can see 4 or 5 of them in the background

Went down to Port A this morning for breakfast and a little beach cruising, not many people there today, I figure everyone is waiting until next weekend.
I can only make the beach Saturday and Monday on Labor day weekend because the old family church has a big social event every year the day before Labor Day in Falls City.
I did see a couple dune buggies though, I do not think I have seen many if any "on the road" since the Texas VS dune buggies/sand rail fiasco of 2017.
Managed to talk to the driver of one of them, and she said they are and have been using the donor VW bug title/registration which is now clearly defined as illegal, I advised them to look into that.

The water and sky seemed a little angrier than usual.

Found a small hill to test these off-road capabilities, climbed it effortlessly lol

The tailgate also makes a great prep table for a cookout, happy Labor Day weekend all!

Heh that’s awesome, would love to find some sand to float around on. Only suburban roads around here.

p.s. what’re you using to tie down those 3916s?

To long and to fat for the "3916" Standard tie down kits, rope and the clip.



Big bucks for a piece of rope and clip. The ball on the end of the whip is golden, CAMO

This was a great idea for a thread. Thanks Mogman.

They work great for me... I'm glad someone appreciates the balls.

I missed all of the Labor Day weekend at the beach, it rained the entire weekend, driving on a wet beach is suicide for the vehicle.
I never get tired of watching the sun rise over the Gulf...

Aw man, that’s awesome. I bought a sister ship to that hoping to conquer trails of the southwest. Instead it’s been sitting in the kids carpool line and making trips to the ice cream shop. I gotta get out there.

I like this thread idea. Here’s a few out and about pics from the past year and a half. My theme is haulin’ stuff. Kids, bikes, kayaks, surf rods and lots of construction supplies.

Clean rig. Very nice. You've inspired me to consider getting rid of my pick up truck if I can get mine insured and titled.

Just out for a drive yesterday, nothing fancy. Weather was beautiful.

Your signature line says you’re a New Yorker but you look to be in colorful Colorado. I grew up in Grand Junction and there’s a ton of places I’d like to go back and explore with my rig full of family. It’s a beautiful state.

I fled New York, I just need to update my location.

HMMWV’s seem to be pretty rare in High Country CO. I know of only one other in Routt County. I also know of a guy in Grand County who has one inbound but is waiting for his EUC to clear.

Drove over Independence Pass the other day (not in the HMMWV) and was as surprised as can be to see another HMMWV in Aspen!

Picture of better vehicle for a scenic drive in the Rockies:

Drove the Humvee to the Red Ball (Gilbert) show. Normal vehicle ride for me is 2.5 hours. With the MV I did a combination of highway and backroads. I was around 4 hours each way with the 6.2 / 3 speed. Drove the truck around 50mph and it ran excellent. I only took one close up picture of the new soft doors I purchased for my truck and a bunch from the show. Here are a few pics:


There was a great turnout of MV's and it was a good swap meet. Half track rides and other vehicles running around. Glad I went.

Picked up (4) new tires for $250 each. Date codes of '18 & '19 and a NOS cargo cover for the truck for $100. I really wasn't looking for Humvee stuff at the show but based on what I've seen tires sell for, couldn't resist. The cover was pure impulse purchase for that price.

I love this thread! I went for an afternoon cruise with my buddy and his two man Friday afternoon. He took some pics. Sometimes it’s the little things.

It was a little chilly this morning for the open cab DuraVee so I took the Detroit to town for supplies, it seemed really happy to get out on the road, it has been awhile.
