    Latest Off-Road Video - Purinton Creek Trail - Alaska

    I have way more experience with the 151's. Last summer a friend and I did the entire Blue Ridge Parkway in our M151A2's, down and back. 1,362 miles in 7 days. I took spare waterpump, fuel pump, coils, distributor, fuel filter, gaskets, fluids and tools. He also took spare parts. Way...

    I was referring to truck parts, which you answered. Nice video.

    What do you carry for spare parts?

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    There are a number of You Tube videos about installing the run flats. I'd suggest checking them out.

    Ready to go for the summer.!

    I do not. There is a footman loop on the hood that you tie down to. If you don't have a strap, a small cord will work. Anything is better than the windshield flipping up!

    Ready to go for the summer.!

    Do you have the windshield strap installed? Hard to tell but it looks like it's missing. If so, I'd highly recommend putting one on.

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Utilized the truck for stump removal. Dug around and had all the roots broke / cut but there was no way my tractor was going to pull it out. The fun part was dragging it down the road to my brother's property!

    Maryland, 4-6 May 49th Annual East Coast Military Vehicle Rally and Militaria Flea Market at Hagerstown Aviation Museum

    I see mixed reviews on this show. I've not attended yet but it doesn't appear I missed much. About a 5 hour ride one way for me. Maybe next year...

    Air Box Modifications

    This reminds me of the 80's when everyone drilled holes in the airbox of their motocross bikes so they'd go faster... :ROFLMAO:

    OUT AND ABOUT WITH MY HMMWV

    Went for the first ride of the season. Temperature was in the low 40s. Took the M151 out yesterday and the Humvee out today. Went over and talked my father-in-law into getting his M38 out. It didn't take much effort to talk him into this! All trucks ran great.

    Welding on the Humvee body.

    I'd recommend talking to your local auto paint supplier. I had a customer the used body panel adhesives for installing new body panels on his 151. While these were steel panels, he swore by it and said he'd never weld them on again. Good luck!

    Welding on the Humvee body.

    Not sure what your doing but body panel adhesives have come a long way. Maybe an option?

    R.I.P. - David "MWMULES" Christenberry

    I met Dave at the Findlay show, 2014 or 15. That was my early days of going to shows and I didn't know anyone out there. I was invited to get something to eat with Dave and a group of others. Most of them (maybe all) had time in the Military and I immediately noticed how strong of a bond they...

    I'd replace the rubber lines while you're at it.

    M151A2 Purchase

    If the brakes are working good as you stated, maybe try flushing out system first? Could be just dirty or someone mixed 3 and 5 at some point? If the rubber was that decomposed, I wouldn't think the brakes would work as stated? Just a thought...

    Jerry can footman loop locations

    Someone on the G503 was looking for this info. Easier to post pictures here and I shared the link. Dimensions are from outside edges to hole centers.

    M151 issues

    Congrats on the purchase. Couple things I would immediately look at: What's the condition of the gas tank on the inside? My A2 had been sealed by previous owner but the slip on fuel sock literally had rust inside of it. Like a pile! Did you replace fuel filter on carb? If not, here's the...

    M151A2 MERDC Paint Source

    I'd be very careful using different paint manufacturers. If you have to, make sure they are compatible with each other. I know in the industrial world if you do this they will not guarantee anything if there is an issue with paint adhesion.
