Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but have already had great dealings and conversations with several people that post here.
Anyhow, I guess I'm getting crazy in my older age but I decided to get a HMMWV. I'm not sure why, because when I got out of the Army in '97 I swore I never wanted to see one again. Not sure if it was the PMCS ritual, camo nets or the 50 MPH convoys back and fourth from Ft Sill, OK to White Sands Missle Range (5 times) that got me but never the less......here we are.....I have one...so here we go..........
Its a titled 1985 HMMWV originally set up in the M-1042 configuration as the tag states. It has been converted over to the M-1025 configuration at some point by the last owner. A M-1025 is what Im after.
Here she is when she came in a couple weeks ago
First drive out. Loud and rattles alot, just like I remember them......
original Interior pics
A2 seat upgrade. Those orignal seats had to go! Smelled like canvas and 1000 GI asses!! lol
Injection pump started leaking and went out the first day, ****. Oh well, time to turn into a 91B and fix it!!!
We got her up and running again and she runs well. Very well!!
Figured out after a quick drive that the old bias plys had to go. Here she is with new modern 37" radials and 24 bolt wheels.
Working on the 3 point seat belt upgrade now
I'll post more as the project moves forward. I need to get some missing turret parts, floor mats ect so ya'll will be seeing me post quite a bit in the wanted adds
