What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[Mainsail]

You doing the Auburn parade?
I have other commitments tomorrow or I would do it.

If you aren't doing anything else Monday, come on down to the Elma Veteran's Day Parade and join that one as well. Even if it's pouring rain we tend to enjoy ourselves (VFW parade entry) More trucks are always welcome.

Poulsbo has a little parade for Veteran's Day. Last year I carried the WWII vets who were the Grand Marshalls as the lead vehicle (behind PFB's giant ladder truck). This year I was scheduled to do the same but they told me a few days ago the vets are getting to an age now where ingress and egress to the M1165 isn't going to be practical, so they'll be loaded into something else. I'll be back at #19 in the formation and not sure who I'm carrying.

If thing even goes off I'll be surprised - seems very disorganized this year. It's only their second annual so I guess I got in on the ground floor last year.

Upper radiator hose and thermostat.
180 deg high flow. Addendum replaced all cooling hoses. Lower hose from water pump to crossover pipe was abraded near failure.

Found a low flow 180 in there go figure

The muffler heat shield was rubbing the driveshaft on my newly acquired GovPlanet M1151A1. So, after receiving the necessary parts, I replaced the dry rotted exhaust insulator and added exhaust spacers which were needed after the demil process. Result: no more rubbing heat shield.

Others have used steel pipe cut to length or a stack of washers.

I see someone else found out they make nice phone holders

 

[Caactus]

Where could a fella find one like it? $95 on eBay seems a bit steep.

Doors needed handles. Modified and work GREAT.

Gonna rethink my window attachments BUT nice to have an enclosed vehicle.

I hope you media blasted them so the paint doesn’t flake off.

Meh 🫤
If it does I’ll do so and epoxy primer for good measure. Ran out of epoxy primer of late.
