Got my HMMWV finally delivered to me yesterday. There were lots of surprises inside the bed (shiny new muffler, new AMG 242 in plastic, once missing drive shafts, two doors, antennas, ESS shades, a Luverne brush guard, and more...). Removed the strap holding up the old muffler and put the doors on, then called it a night. Today, I removed the rest of the exhaust so that I can take my precious, sweet time in the great-warm-indoors to disassemble the brackets, mounts, and flanges. I'll be putting it all together with new hardware and gaskets in the next couple weeks.
Looks pretty cool! Looks like it is straight out of a sci-fi movie! PS: Can you use your headlights in this set up?

****in mad max ****! I dig it bro!
Went and cranked up the Humvee earlier today in 27' temperature to see if she'd fire up......Flipped the switch and started the crank after the wait light went out......I had to hold the starter in for about 15 seconds.......Didn't have that burst of black like my Caterpillar loader used to........pulled two notches on the hand throttle to bring it to a fast idle...sure felt good sitting in the cab with the engine rumbling away......shut her down about a half hour later.....hauled asp back into the house.....

You might want to replace your glow plugs. Even in cold weather mine only takes a couple cranks to catch.

Out with the old rod slinger--- in with the new motor. Sad thing is that the engine that I pulled was new. When I drained the oil cooler clear, clean water drained out. Also when I spun the oil filter off, clean water drained from that. What do you guys think--- someone sank it soon after replacement? No green coolant, just fresh water. Weird..... Nothing in the pan cause the rod went through the bottom.

I have seen these get 'rebuilt' but not address the stress cracks in the main bearing webs and they do this very quickly.
As soon as the weather warms up......thanks
Yes going to cut out the horizontal over the lights and weld them back in vertically. I should have some new pictures next week.

Have you thought about any special lighting for behind all that? Like those UV running lights you see under some cars. You know something like this. You might not have any interest, but is that part of the plan at all?
