I expect to have a few sets of soft half doors at the Graves Mountain Rally Labor Day Weekend. Green only, and only one 4 door set due to material availability.

Looking sharp all around!
I was at Al Capone's Sat and I think he has the other door blank panel you need.

Simply put, I like the look. Many year ago when I first seen the H1 i fell in love with the H1 and I just think the 3 amber light look Bad A$$! The Humvee you see in the showboard in not an H1 model painted cammo. That is a picture of my Humvee. No special effect no nothing.

The clearance lights came stock on the H1 Hummer this much is true, however you mentioned.."NOT normal on the HMMWV." The clearance lights are not stock on the humvee but "Not Normal", well that's a matter of opinion.

Of all the aftermarket "improvements" , the amber lights seem pretty benign in the scheme of things. They look good to me....

I also think the clearance lights on the H1 are badass and am in process of adding them (same style / placement) on my M998.
It's your truck, do with it as you want !

- Thanks. Yes the clearance lights are AWESOME! I mean even AM General thought so. In my opinion the clearance lights just look like they were meant to be! How can something that is so bad A$$ be so wrong/ "NOT NORMAL?" Just my 2 cents. But hey you're not to far from me, around 100 miles.

Getting ready for a upcoming car show, so i gave the humvee a bath and took a few up dated Pictures.
The custom Humvee banner will be placed behind the humvee while at shows. i also made a show board for the original humvee cargo trailer the M101A3.

What data plate is on your HMMWV.
Just curious. Most all of them I've ever seen have HMMWV on them not HUMVEE
I think that's what he is getting at.
Now if yours actually has Humvee stamped or printed on it then it's a unicorn.
Nice looking truck by the way.

Hello BLK HMMWV its been a while. Ok, I really don't get it? what does my data plate matter?? H.M.M.W.V (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) Humvee for short is the way i always understood it? Humvee is a rough military acronym, no? Nevertheless, a mis spell word is an error/mistake and where did i mis spell HMMWV??. i mean i don't know if he is referring to the show board or something else? I say let Dock Rocker answer. Thanks for the complement, she is nice right down to the after market Clearance lights.

Clearance lights,both front and rear,are a U.S. DOT requirement on all vehicles over x amount of inches wide. I forget the the exact number. Therefore,am general would have been required to install them on all H1 Hummers. Ever wonder why all dual wheeled 1 ton pickups have them,yet their 1 ton single wheeled brothers don't?

I thought HUMMER was like nothing else. Are you taking a logo from one thing and mixing with another?

Wow guys, why not lay off of him? He's put a good amount of work into putting together a nice HMMWV, and you guys are grilling him over using the common trademark for the vehicle and for some reasonable customizations to it.
You're a wonderful wealth if information of helpfulness, but then there's this childlike behavior that makes this entire board look like a bunch of *******s...

FWIW (For What It's Worth):
The internet's WIKI for HMMWV redirects to the HUMVEE WIKI webpage. Hence, Al Gore's internet seems to think that HMMWV and HUMVEE would be synonyms. This WIKI bears a note just below its title: "This article is about the military vehicle. For the civilian vehicle brand, see Hummer."
Searching HUMMER gets you to an entirely separate (Civilian) Hummer WIKI webpage.
Jus' sayin'.
... So, I've got a song that seems to fit this discussion pretty well:

Jim Croce. May he rest in peace.

Yes I' am doing just that! like you didn't know that. Why, is it Taboo? Is it Sacrilegious to do such a thing? I thought it was clever and most fitting! But before i explain my self any further I have a question for you. tell me this, "Is there anything like a Humvee?" I think not! A humvee is like nothing else! I believe it's fitting! Now, the H1 and Humvee are virtually the same bird, like the Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird (not the best analogy but you know were him going with this). The H1 basically has all the comforts whereas the Humvee doesn't but the back bone, platform, bodies are the same, heck they were built side by side at Am general in Indiana which is not to far from me. You do know this to be true Action. Should we do a side by side comparison just to see how different the H1 and HMMWV are? I'm sure there won't be too "many" differences.
