Sorry photo don't seem to be uploading from tap a talk. That sucks...

I've been busy... new paint, new leather seats, 4 point harnesses. Just got back from Glamis.

I only took it out one time and that was to the Anza Borrego Desert for a Dodge rally. Peterson's off road magazine was there and has a photo or two of it in the magazine. It was about 15 years or so ago.

Hey guys I might be a Grand-daddy look up xm966 and not xm988 and check this link. http://www.warwheels.net/XM966chryslerHAUGH.html this truck looks a **** of a lot more like mine then the others out there which also might explane the 1978 /1979 date problem I keep seeing on the HMMWV history...

Jeepsinker... I would have to use nitrous oxide that way I would just keep laughing at the people trying to look in the window.

@ Vitamink... I've contemplated squishing a few of those But I hate cleaning foreign debris out of the cleats on the tires. Lol

I don't know... The last thing we want to do is arm the rich people with an urban assault vehicle. Lol

It was built back in 1979 for the HMMWV contract. It's my understanding that there were nine protype vehicles submitted. 3 from AM General 3 From Teledyne and 3 from Chrysler defense. The door tag says EMT PRO PV1 I'm assuming that means experimental military transport Prototype Prototype vehicle 1

Heater seems to work fine... I'm just having a hard time trying to roll the windows up. BTW back in the day, They used to make us take the tops off of the jeeps when doing training down range. Problem was it was winter in Colorado. I solved that issue by placing a 1" hose into the heater vent...
