It's been a while! :) I'm building a house in the weekends, so I don't have as much time for the humvee as I'd like. Anyway, here's what I have been doing during the past months. I have changed the lights. The headlamps are too close together for use in Europe, so I only use those as high...

Time for an update! I don't have much time to work on the humvee at the moment, but I have made some progress. I have installed some nice looking reversing lights and a switch in the gear lever. While having the gear lever removed, I gave it some new paint and lubricants. The top plate had some...

Thanks! :) I'm aware of this, so I have only driven it 2km so far and very slowly. I will check the spindle nuts, half shaft bolts and change the oils before driving it again. The humvee is now in my garage, so I'm able to work on it. We have the same requirement for lights here as in Germany...

Thanks for the info! Good to know if I need spare parts in the future.

The law is very old... from the 70s or something. In general, cars here need to fulfill the regulations that was in use when the car was first registered, but there might be exceptions. For American made cars, if they are from 1991 or newer they also need to fulfill the FMVSS. So registering a...

I have checked the connections on the H1 turn signal switch, and it does need some rewiring and a new flasher. Still quite an easy fix. For the ignition, I will add a relay in series with the original start switch and control that with the new steering column lock. That's a nice lock. I also...

I've also heard that the H1 steering column is from a Ford, and the front plate actually says "Escort". Some parts must be the same but the main steering axle is almost identical to the one from the humvee, with added slots for steering lock. You could probably modify a humvee column to have a...

Thanks! :) I know about the locking wire, but unfortunately the steering lock needs to also shut off the engine. I already found an H1 steering column for a reasonable price. This way I will also get a keyed ignition switch. The fluids look like new, but I will anyhow change them before driving...

Hello everyone! Today it is two years since the GovPlanet auction of my Humvee, so I thought it would be a good day to start a build thread. The truck was finally delivered to me the day before New Years Eve (yes, over 21 months of waiting). I've been a fan of these trucks since the 90s, but I...
