What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[blutow]

Where did you get the new lenses? I need to replace all of mine due to cracking/fading.

not sure what mac charges but it is a common civy trucking lens and truck pro or napa might be cheaper. This lens has been used for 20+ years.... Same as all mv's for many years and models also just not hmmwv.

The side marker lenses were like $6-7 each and the front and rear light lenses were around $21 each I believe. I didn't do much shopping/comparison, just added them to an order I was already placing.

SPARE TIRE CARRIER DAY!! After a lot of waiting and shopping..and waiting...it's on. One of the studs was broken (cut off?) so needed to grind the welds, pop out the nub out and replace. Then just a quick weld to hold it and a little paint. Good as new. I wonder if the AAA guy will be willing to change a tire if I'm out of town and my spousal unit is driving it.

While working on THAT project, took a good look at the other tires. Both passenger side tires were REALLY badly cracking. I suppose they were facing South in Yermo..all I noticed when I picked it up a year ago was they were 2012 date codes and had a lot of tread on them. I am INCREDIBLY fortunate to have a friend that has a full new set mounted on wheels so I replaced the ugly two. Now I'm trying to source 2 tires and considering replacing the other two so all four are matched. Another day...another thousand dollars.

Nice back up camera placement

I actually thought about pulling them off the corners and tryIng to mount one in the middle of the tire carrier. Probably a terrible idea but it’s a little disorienting looking at the split screen display on the backup camera screen.

I suppose I could mount the other camera on the front and take advantage of its IR capabilities by skulking around my neighborhood with the lights off at night.

I know , I have the same system except one hanging from my passenger mirror for turning blind spot. I just switch between views so I do not get confused

Put some new kicks on today. Mtr’s dated this decade!!

Reconfiguring my M1152A1B2FK5 AMG #347XXX to M1165ish. Removed factory 2 man hardtop w/integrated B-pillar. Installed soft-top B-pillar after cutting/lowering height of B-pillar to level with A-pillar.
Have temporarily installed M1114 hardtop to be measured for mods to top before final assembly. Will remove rounded sides of top and replace with updated flat sides. Only 2 front inboard mounts of hardtop need to be moved a few inches outboard.
Aft bulkhead and C-pillar assembly to be fabricated, will bolt directly to existing hardtop mounts.
Turret opening to be capped. Easy Peasy, right ?

That looks awesome

During a break from heavier work I decided to clean, prime, and paint turbo exhaust cover to match valve covers.
Hidden by the doghouse nobody else will see it, but I know it’s done and feel better about it.

Installed interior light that comes on when door is opened.



Reed switches, close circuit when separated and on goes the light. Time will tell how long it holds up.

Where did you get them?

Amazon and the light is a marine light for underwater use.

You sound like a drunk college fraternity member.

(Still you’re absolutely correct! Painters’ tape ASAP to cover that!)
