I’ve been thinking about picking up a new HMMWV project for the last year or so, and I finally took the plunge! This M1152A1 showed up at my house today! It’s a 2007, but was rebuilt and put back into service in 2014, so it’s actually titled as a 2014. It is mostly complete other than everything that was removed when it was demilitarized.
It starts and moves, but doesn’t stop or steer very well because the serpentine belt is absent. Unfortunately, one of the idler pulley bolts snapped off in the alternator bracket at some point, so I’m going to have to get the broken bolt out and source a replacement pulley.
My immediate plan for the truck is to get it running, driving, and stopping reliably. Then, I think I will convert it to a four-man so I can haul the wife and kids around. It’s also going to need a paint job in the not too distant future. I’ll be sure to document my progress and share lots of pics along the way! Here are a few to get things started!
PS: Special thanks to Dan and Eric at United States of Freight for getting it here from Maryland!
