Really like how it looks. But noticed that you need the ECV snout for the additional space needed or will this work with the old still hood.

Have Been doing a lot to the Humvee. First, I finally broke down and swapped out my O.E.M headlamps for some LED ones. I think they look Great! A big thanks to Midwest Military equipment. Next I installed my safety switch panel. Look's Bad A$$. I always loved the look and action of these safety toggle switches. And finally, installed external (under the hood) oil gauge and fuel pressure gauge. Seen this from a fellow member and thought it was clever and useful. The good news is, my original Military gauge is reading correct. The O.E.M gauge is in harmony with the new Marshall gauge. Next i will be installing 2 volt gauges 1 for my 12 volt consumption and the other for the 24 volt consumption.

6th Plastic panel made for a cleaner look. Hide a/c hoses and electrics. ( held in place with Velcro)

7th radio shelf leg has 4" added at an angle to clear blower motor vs. doghouse

8th a/c hoses run along frame rail and enter through old radio wiring hole.

I left enough a/c hose to tilt or remove radio shelf incase dog house needs to be removed.

Lots of time and fab went into this so it would be as user friendly as possible.

Tried to keep it as if the military installed it.
thanks for posting that its a nice set up looks 10x better than the alternative

Took the humvee on the highway today, first time since the 6.5 turbo went in. Drove almost 50 miles, ran great, sounded great, I couldn't have been happier

Then a connecting rod blew through the oil pan.

I don't know if I want to scream or cry

That blows. Out of curiosity how fast where you going when it happened?

Here's how you stay warm in a HMMWV in winter.

They forgot to show the hot coco.

I used to drive my old Diesel LandCruiser at -40. I found the best thing was to pre-heat with a 110V internal heater AND use a block heater. Once interior is warm, it tends to stay warm even with the tiniest of stock heaters. As the engine starts off warm, it keeps you cozy. If you start out a drive with a cold engine and cold interior, you get too cold to warm up even with heater at full blast IMHO.

I'm going around the body sealing holes and other access spots for wind to come through. Wind whistles through the hole in the tunnel for the parking brake mount, for instance. I've packed around it but am going to make a boot for it I think. Using black plastic hole plugs wherever I see the opportunity for them and will be making a few larger ones on my 3D printer once I get off my duff and CAD them up.
Every little bit helps.
