I mean, that depends on what your definition of "body" is.

 

[HUMMER H1]

relocated the tent from the roof rack to custom built bed rack

 

[GuntherRommel]

Installed 4 Ranger Green molle back seat covers from BMI . Great product but kind of expensive.

I did a thing. But I'm not gonna post it till its done.

Suddenly I thought it was a pregnancy test!

Well it's not quite done, but here are some progress pics. Poor mans turret (non rotating).

Poor Man's Turret isn't bad...
Heck, if you had a rotating turret then you would need to upgrade it to a powered turret.
You are saving big bucks this way!

Looks very nice! Please tell me about those latches. Where'd you find them?

They are actually OEM turret hatch latches I got from Mac Motors. I will make a build thread complete with all part numbers when its done.

Holy shit that's amazing. Where is that? How are you able to capture that?

A few days ago I noticed a drip or three of red fluid under the center of the M1151A1. Turns out that it had a leaky transfer case output seal. Spent part of today dropping the aft shaft and replacing the seal. It was an easier procedure than I had expected.

Well, now that I'm insured I decided to put some miles on the 1165 and shake out any problems that might be lurking. Drove down to the auto parts store for antifreeze and then just meandered all over town listening to the engine.

I heard the fan cycle on a few times, but it never stayed on long. Them temp gauge has lost its desire to live so the needle just sits off-scale low.

Turn signal doesn't always cancel. The tires stayed on.

I logged ~40 miles on it in an hour or so without any drama.

I took the picture with Nikon D3400 camera, 30 second long exposure
the location is in the Sierra Nevada mountains California side near Mammoth lakes.

F’ing brilliant!

 

[Mainsail]

Figured out why the temp gauge was inop - the pigtail between the gauge and the harness is crumbly at both ends. I cinched a wire-tie around the connector for now. If anyone has one let me know.

Drove it around a while and the needle sits about 12:00 in the gauge. The fan cycles on briefly now and then.

Also separated the cooling stack to check for debris between them - nothing.

 

[M1165A1]

Not quite what did I do to my HMMWV as for my HMMWV . . .

Bought a new (to me) roll cab to hold all of the tools that keep her running.

HummerH1 has entrusted me to post a video for him showing a loose spindle improperly installed on his new to him auction truck. It is the non-runner he converted into a 12V runner. Eric’s video is absolutely an advertisement for BlueHummers. Super scary. I will uploaded to YouTube and link here. I’m disappointed that we can’t load videos here so that they can be stored on these servers and never get lost. C’est la vie.

When I load the vids I will link here.
