Take a 1044 on vacation...

hi Guys,
Thought I would share with you how I enjoy my HMMWV 1 week out of the year in Corolla Beach NC. I used to take my M38A1 this is the first time for the HMMWV..
The last 2 pics are of us in a 4th July Parade. Also last pic is my friend Shawn in his HMMWV he imported from Sudi Araba..yes i cant spell!
ps. They make a great beach buggie! I never got stuck!

Interior

Interior need some work..But everything was there!

Really nice pics. Looks really nice.

Nice work Kevin, compliments from 'BabyRuthie' and her crew.

I still have my interior to finish, I just got enough exterior done for the summer activities.

Tell me more about the RedDot AC on the hatch, was it a kit? Not much insulation from the engine heat on these.

that is sweet!!!

Looking GOOOOOD!!!!!!

Sean's tan HMMWV is really nice. It has been at Aberdeen a few times... He's a good dude...

Wow.....I kinda want one now....

I would love to see some interior shots of your HMMWV - particularly the placement and installation of electronics and the A/C system. Any chance of getting some detailed pics?

Thanks!

FYI you have the american flag on the wrong side of the truck, it is ONLY to be clamped on the drivers side of the truck, and as far forward as possible. Please read and follow the US Flag Code.

Very nice even has the red dot A/C unit on the back just for your edifcation the troops prefered that one over the factory installed version in the UAH because they could direct the cold air where they wanted it and the stock unit barely kept up with removing the latent heat from the floor pan and all the raidos and jammers on board.

I have ridden many thousands of miles in them as the Company Commander and above and the first thing I would do was to put a foam cushion on the seat and usually after a few miles my legs would hang outside to cool off.

Great pictures and thanks for posting them and supporting the troops.

Thanks for all the information guys!..
I will try and get some interior shots up soon. I will also correct the flag placement. The red dot A/C will be finished in the fall. I got the A/C compressor and now I have everything to install it. I will be modifying the placement of the receiver inside the cab. Im glade I got the perfered one. I perfer the open cab, but may place armor inside to seperate the crew from the cargo. Not sure yet..Anyway I also have a trailer with 2-1000 lb bobms I tow around with it. For the shock and AWE...effect..I will post them soon too. Going to a veterns fund raising event this saturday. And will have some more pics. Also will be at RED BAll in Gelbert. PA.
Seeya THERE@!
Kevin...

Think this should get someones attention?..I will be towing this behind the HMMWV..
More to follow after the weekend.

Very nice truck. You did a great job on it. I'd put something on the bombs to indicate that they are not live. Otherwise, you are asking for more attention from our friends in LE like the last time you went to the store with the .50 cal mounted. Right or wrong...why look for a fight. That's my $.02...

Hey Guys,
Sorry I took so long to respond. I dont think I will ever sell her..If I did I would not take less than 80K..
I Will put some labels on the trailer to tell people to "DANGER! Stay away"! Live ordance! at least 100 feet. Hehehe././
Yes I will put duds, etc.. on them. I will have some more pics of the interior soon. Also of the A/c,..
Kevin..
