While I absolutely love the look of a 2 door and troop seats it seems that a 4 man setup would be a lot more comfortable, so it’s time to strip it down. I’m also thinking of putting in a middle bench seat -that would make keeping the kids seated a little easier. Got some cool things planned for this phase.

Got the truck outside waiting on parts to arrive, should be pretty cool, I’m pretty excited. I still have to go pick up a windshield frame from a buddy of mine which might hold me up… Anyways, I started to add more seats to the truck. That blue seat in the back I actually found on the side of the road about 2 years ago. I saved it and was going to use it in a deer stand but never did. Was a little shocked how much people want for high back seats, so glad I at least got one for free… stay tuned!

Still got some parts I’ve gotta get and some more to install but check this out! FYI I’m not done with the install yet, lots of little trim pieces to add, I just wanted to share some progress photos. The top and doors are made by a company out west called Pipe Dream Off-road. Bunch of really cool dudes making some very cool stuff for Humvee’s. The top is modular and you can pick if you want just the subframe, a fixed hardtop or a removable top. There are options for the back also, like a removable rear window or a fixed window. I only bought the subframe and will be adding the fixed top later on. the craftsmanship that is in these parts is over the top.

Looks pretty sharp! Guessing down in Charleston you get a few weeks of cold - but nothing that you can't drive through...

Ha! We actually had 6” of snow here early this year. That is incredibly rare though.

And we are about two hours north of you - and not a drop of snow here.

So I’m not sure if the front hood 2.5” body lift mounts are for an H1 brush guard or not. Couldn’t stand looking at those holes and also don’t find many of the brush guards appealing. So for $20 I got some rubber and made a push bumper. I’d still like to find a way to hide the lower portion of the radiator. Not sure how I’ll do that just yet.

A few weeks ago I was working under the Humvee and kept smelling fuel. Aside from needed a fuel tank vent hose I realized I forgot to install the rubber o ring gaskets on the fuel pump mount. The original ones were still on but they were paper thin. I don’t think this is why I was smelling fuel, but the last I want is my first time filling the tank up on this to result in a fuel leak. I took a moment to put some sealant on the brass fuel tank vent fittings too. Last thing I did was order custom fuel lines that are pressure tested. I ran into some issues with the fuel line push lock fittings not sealing well, so it just seemed smart to get some quality fuel lines made.
