What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[infidel got me]

I wish I could get my two sons interested in the workings of a vehicle. If x-box was a paying job, I'd be a fat cat. Do you guys think x-box tanning oil would sell.

 

[Bulldogger]

x-box tanning oil, I like that.

If you apply enough oil to the x-box, I think that would solve the problem, partly...

I ration my son's Wii time, for sure. He's pretty good about being interested in reading or being outside as well. He also eats broccoli. Something's wrong with him obviously, but I am going to work with what I got

Taking orders for x-box tanning oil, hope mods will allow this. lol

I took my '93 up to my favorite little fishing spot. Beautiful day. Then I installed a civi tow hitch and removed my pintle hitch. After that I refurbished my tool set and my pioneer tool rack and reinstalled them. I blacked them all out... which i like. I added an extra ratchet strap to hold them all down. I need to buy a black one but red will do in a pinch. after that I repainted an old aluminum locker box and installed that in the bed then reinstalled my dash box and my interior lockable tool box. This Saturday I will be proud to drive our local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars through the local strawberry days parade. That is always a special day. It is so awesome to see kids and adults standing and saluting, hand over their heart... some are crying, some are just saying thank you, and others, well, they forget to pay those soldiers the proper respect and honor them. I cant wait for Saturday.

Replaced the internal wiring on the 4l80e new shift shaft with a speedi sleeve and new seal. New filter also.

I always liked my trout fishing because trout seem to pick the nicest spots in the world for their neighborhoods.

Your fish made a real good choice, too. WOW!

Hey, I'm all over eating broccoli.

It's SPELLING it that is all wrong and messes you up.

We made it to the dunes and back. Fun stuff. Whoever says they don't do good in the sand is very much mistaken. Great off road truck in ANY terrain!

Which dunes did you go to? Im trying to do at least 1 dune trip before the end of the summer. You need to come up for the PNW 8th annual campout in napavine, wa!

Drove my HMMWV to work for the first time, longest distance driven so far (10mi). Coworkers are coming round the parking lot after lunch to have a lookie-loo.

Weekend will be spent on further maintenance and LO items.

Built a stereo "ammo box" and installed a 24v to 12v step down to power it.

Installed new door straps!

That's pretty funny! It gives new meaning to the expression "boom" box. That's great.

Got down and dirty with a grease gun and hit every zerk fitting. Rides smoother and a touch quieter.
Also replaced some of the bolts on the mirrors so I could angle them more. I have the seat set high, and could not see very far behind me without ducking my head. Now can drive a little more comfortably.

Relocated the mounting brackets on the brush guard I picked up on Internet for cheap. Powder coated it and got it mounted today.

Are they powder coated with the mil spec powder coat or standard? They look nice and dull good job on that. Any info would be appreciated.

Just standard powder coat. As far as the flatness goes...I didn't specify when I dropped it off! I use this place for other work so they did it for free. Once I got it back it was glossy and I couldn't really argue if you know what I mean! I broke down and used flat spray paint! I figure it's at least got a nice hard undercoat.

I desperately want to find and install troop seats. I've found them in various states but the shipping is as much or more than the selling price!

Bobthebuilder i got a troop seat and the side rails if you are intrested. Im Not to far from you.

Replaced the windshield wipers.

Pro-tip, while there are several sources of 11" heavy duty flat windshield wipers, NAPA, Trico, and others, as well as online auction vendors, the price varies and everyone wants shipping charges... except NAPA.

The hang up is that NAPA part 60-1150 is "out of stock" in their online system. But, a quick call to your local NAPA jobber will see him/her making a quick local inventory check and likely as not find you some still in a warehouse that they can have transferred. In my case the cost per wiper was less than the lowest price I could find online and with zero shipping charges.

What is the difference between commercial and mil-spec powder coat?
