What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[hummer4x4guy]

What is the difference between commercial and mil-spec powder coat?

I'm not sure myself but I have read that there was a mil spec powder coating. Perhaps it acts like carc or has a duller finish?

there are some CARC powder coatings available. The difference between then and civy stuff is that it is still CARC.

Mounted an interior dome light. It was very expensive and technically challenging. Many good men were lost.

I managed to accomplish this today in Moab Utah. No spare. Stuck here waiting for a $400 ride in a tow truck.

Off-road and no spare....shame on you, lol
good thing you had run flats installed.

 

[Retiredwarhorses]

Let me add, MY's have a real crappy sidewall, that is common failure. I see them constantly in the shop, especially on these old date coded tires.
go with a full set of BFG's or MTR's, the MTR has puncture resistant side walls.
the BFG's might also

Actually I was just IN Moab but on the Main Street no off roading had taken place. Was passing through. Emphasis on "was" passing through. Now I'm a resident. For a while. Still should have a spare always. Yay for me.

 

[Predator42]

Yeah I need a full set and spare. I assume I should keep the rims and run flats and just get newer better tires. Not go to 17s and civi tires.

 

[infidel got me]

I bought two trailers for 300 each. Got four near new tires and rims, didn't have to mount or dismount tires, no fooling with O-rings and have two trailers to boot. Hope I don't buy to many Humvees-- I'll end up with a bunch of trailers.

New paint

Got back today

 

[Predator42]

are you going to paint the wheel wells? looks menacing. Are those the 40s? they look good. Those wheels will really look tough all black. I think you said you were going down that path.

Got back today

The ride looks great.

Is that a cup holder on the doghouse cover?

That trailer is a great match-up.

I might change the colors (of one or the other), but really? It doesn't matter at all; slick.

Yea, planning on painting both real soon.
Keeping the HMMWV tan, and painting the trailer tan.

I brought my light switch with me on my work trip and fixed it in the hotel room in my down time.

Now I can finally enjoy the LEDs I got from cucvfan and beep the horn.

Nice, 3000gt! How's it running? I'll have to buzz you the next time I'm in Memphis. It looks like you've done quite a bit since you got it home.
