Looks great, would not work with full doors though, at least on the passenger sideFinished fabrication of adapter bracket that can mount Silverado mirrors to humvee .
those mirrors are 75 dollars at Amazon, manual adjustable, I took out the back section where it was supposed to attach to Silverado door, it’s triangle shape.View attachment 911599View attachment 911600View attachment 911601View attachment 911602View attachment 911604View attachment 911605
its attached to A Pilar,Looks great, would not work with full doors though, at least on the passenger side
Truck colors looks great. I love the color.its attached to A Pilar,
Full doors can open as long as limiting strap is shortened just a tiny bit.
. I could have made the bracket so the mirror could stay further back passed the A Pilar, maybe I’ll do that
my next project is building removable upper-half for those doors

when I bought my truck it didn’t have mirrors,nice work, but why?!
Do they really look better to you? I don't think this modern plastic style suits the HMMWV.
I mean, you only have half doors anyway. So the view of the original mirrors is not impaired.
Traditional HMMWV mirrors suck. Hard to adjust passenger side without assistant. Big. Blocky. Shaky. essentially they are the same mirrors on 1960’s school buses.nice work, but why?!

They look great! Nothing wrong with customizing parts especially when it is an upgrade.when I bought my truck it didn’t have mirrors,
I had two options, stick with original or go with modem ( original is very flimsy design in my opinion, large mirror attached with two tiny top positions vibrates all the time.
It requires tools to adjust the mirrors,
this modern style mirrors are very sturdy and easy to adjust, no road vibrations.
H1 has vertical mounted mirrors, they look pretty good I think.
I am building upper half of the doorsit will be full door truck
by the way humvee also has plastic mirrors they are just painted green

Looks great BUT when sanding and prepping I typically cover all air intakes.I have finally finished nearly all of the prep work on the exterior of the truck. Interior is already done. As soon as it warms up I will be painting HMMWV black.
Then will be replacing all the shell connectors, installing Blue Ox soft top and Western Kentucky Hard doors.
Good thinking. You talking about heater ducts or just air intake? I have something in air intake but never even thought of air ducts.Looks great BUT when sanding and prepping I typically cover all air intakes.
Air intake my friend. I might disassemble and clean that system.Good thinking. You talking about heater ducts or just air intake? I have something in air intake but never even thought of air ducts.

Picking up my M1152, humvees lined up as far as you can see.
The mirrors are no worse than the whole HMMWV itselfTraditional HMMWV mirrors suck. Hard to adjust passenger side without assistant. Big. Blocky. Shaky. essentially they are the same mirrors on 1960’s school buses.
It’s not about looks, it is about function. Any modern retractable mirror is an improvement IMHO.
ok why do girls do boob job ? LolThe mirrors are no worse than the whole HMMWV itself
But they may be, but I find modern mirrors as out of place as carbon stripes.
Okay, in this case the paintwork of the truck is already different and doesn't claim to be original.
