    Seems like if you went through 60” of water that valley could be filled to the top and no path to escape but over the turbo pedestal. I don’t think that’s good that they remove the tube. You have to pull transmission to install it. Hopefully I will never need to but if so I will install it. I...

    I went to McFadendales hardware store and if they don’t have it there’s a really good chance they don’t make it. You will pay a premium for the store that has everything.. lol they are local business and I don’t mind paying a little more for a big inventory and helpful staff. I got a couple of...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    It’s crazy. I started with a really nice m1123 that I was going to do everything to it. After having it and driving it I realized that I wanted ac and a hardtop. Cheaper to buy a new truck and that’s what I did. I have one brand new rear passenger x-door that still has the plastic on the glass...

    GovPlanet Humvee Arrival and Inspection

    Nice work! I was looking at aluminum duct flanges and I will probably go that route when I get that far. I can put that ring against that hole and weld in my steel to make it permanent. Still need to fab something to tie into the b- pillars

    Does it look like I have enough meat to get helicoil installed? Hole is really close to the edge

    I was thinking about getting a longer bolt? Maybe just the thickness of the pedestal. It’s the top bolt and I don’t think it would hurt to be in a little further. Those were all really tight when I took them out.

    I’m kinda lost right now. I took housing apart and cleaned the rtv off and I didn’t think I put enough but it was flowed out really nice and everything was covered perfect. I checked all of the holes and I did the problem one first and bolt went in and torqued down. I checked all of them because...

    I think that’s a great idea. I will take the bolt out and go get one

    I received my 10-24 die and my ultra copper rtv or whatever it’s called. Finished up the waste gate after a trip to Ace Hardware for a few nuts and washers. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I really appreciate Mogman’s idea. I have another problem that I’m gonna have to think about...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I really like the H1 rockers and I hope I can find a set when I get that far. I really wanted those seats but I was worried about how they fit. I tried the caravan seats and I didn’t like how they fit except for the drivers seat. The seat bottom is just about 3” too long. You have a Really nice...

    Is that your truck? I love it! Tell me about the seats and paint. I would like to see more pics and I want to know more about the rocker protection. Looks factory H1

    Probably been beaten to death but is there any way to know if your truck ever went anywhere?

    Congratulations on your new truck! I personally didn’t want a truck that I had to do extensive repairs on because I’m physically not able

    I didn’t believe my odometer either until I pulled out my brand new air filter that was dated 2002 and my new dry rotted tires that were dated 2002. I drained clean oil and I have never seen diesel oil clean. I’m pretty sure I know what I got. Good luck with your truck with history and I look...

    My truck had 132 miles on it over a 20 year period. I don’t think it went anywhere exciting… I would never buy one that has had that experience of being driven off a boat ramp into saltwater… I do love the history of the vehicles but I don’t want to own one

    That’s awesome! I’m not far from there. Keep me in mind for upcoming adventures! I don’t have anyone to go out with yet. I get everything done and I will probably look for a Hummer/Humvee club here. I would even be willing to go with Jeeps if it comes to that. Hahaha. Life is short and we work...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Probably worth it because you don’t have to store troop seats for an LMTV forever! Hahahaha. I think I did ok. I had Action look it over for me and he gave me a good number on what it was worth. People are so good here to help…

    You have the twin to my truck if I remember correctly? How’s snake bit doing? I don’t see very many trucks like ours. We get the ac and turbo without the holes in the body… I’m really happy with mine. I have never liked a truck that doesn’t run this much! Hahaha something’s wrong with me…

    I had the valley dry enough to start thinking about cleaning it up and then we get monsoon rain here and my valley was filled up to the top of the oil pressure line. I drained all of the water out with my 300cc Amazon syringe “ very useful tool “ I think I did it 4 times.

    That’s not actually what I paid for it. That was a few days earlier. I had to step up and I went all in at 1015! Hahaha

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Today I bought a 4 man top and rear curtain the c-pillar and roof bows, 4 man hardware kit and one soft door oh the 2 side rails also. Came with troop seats for an lmtv or something like that. It’s all brand new stuff and best part is it’s 20 miles away from me! I’m really excited to get it...
