So I was looking at Hummer H1 interiors for build inspiration and noticed they dont have the cross brace behind their front seats. Has anyone removed that brace from a HMMWV? A couple more inches is always helpful being 6'-1" tall. (That's what she said!)

Hmm... ok. Was hoping for an easy swap. I have been looking for the right 700r4 core to swap in for awhile.

I have found a 1994 k2500 suburban near me with a locked up motor. I'm curious about building a 6.2 turbo motor with the 4l80 swap. Is this a good donor? Would the heads or fuel pump and injectors or any other parts be good upgrades?

Just found the 335 and 365/80r20 MSAs right before I saw your reply. They look like they could be the 335s on a 20. That's a 41x13.5r20-ish... This would be doable with a 2 inch body or spacer lift

Anyone happen to know what the wheels and tires are on the humvee nxt? Almost looks like a 20" mrap style wheel. Video I saw said that they are also a larger diameter tire but no specifics were given and i have yet to find the specs... I have been looking at getting a set of mrap 20" aluminum...

I've read on several other threads through various forums that the military tires have a thicker bead and that the civilian tires will not seat properly. Is this a real issue or can it be overcome with some sort of pvc bead locker cut to a wider width?

Can anyone verify if a civilian tire can be effectively used on a 20" military wheel? I'm specifically looking at the 20" aluminum hutchison's and wanting to run a 37x12.50r20 or similar on my hmmwv...

It is a side mount. Thanks for saving me from an unknown hassle.

Found a smoking deal on a 6.2 motor with the banks kit installed. Motor condition is unknown but turbo appears to be good with no noticeable shaft play. Is there any reason I can't swap the necessary parts into my low mileage m998 engine?

im getting a bunch of conflicting things online as to what can and cannot be done... i want to put an overdrive in the beast and i have been looking at 700r4 and 4l60 transmissions as i dont want to have to deal with electronics at this point. is the shaft that connects the engine to the...

I am contemplating putting a high flow conical filter where the stock filter housing is and either a high flow muffler or just a muffler delete on my hmmwv with a 6.2. If I do these and turn the fuel pump up about an 1/8 or 3/16 of a turn, should it see a noticeable increase or am I looking for...

My brother in law is a commercial airline pilot and this is what he recommended as well. at least similar but has a different brand preference as most do. I am still trying to wrap my head around Humvee costs vs old jeep costs too...

I have considered these. Any place that sells a complete kit? ive only been able to find pieces here and there.

That was my initial thought as well. My cj5 has it and it helps but it allows moisture to rust the jeep tub. not an issue on the aluminum though...

thats very true. I guess the concern is interior noise for her. i cant imagine people paying that kind of money for an h1 if they cant hold a conversation in it. maybe i am wrong as ive never ridden in one. plan is to add some sound deadening to the passenger compartment and maybe inside the...

My hmmwv has an arctic 4 man soft top on it. It is quilted so I imagine quieter. The engine is a bit louder when cold. You can hear the change when the temp gets to about 120. Not as sharp sounding. I also know a lot of the noise is tire noise but if I let off the throttle, we can talk...

I ended up parking my HMMWV right behind an H1 at dinner the other night. was a restaurant that had outdoor seating so i noticed when they left that they seemed to have the 6.5 turbo motor but theirs was much quieter than my 6.2. I do realize that i bought a military vehicle and really do...

not sure about the recenters. if i need to i will. thats the kind of thing i started this thread for, the little things i may overlook.

i also like the mechanical diesel without the electronics to worry about.

i want to upgrade the axles as the blazers have the 10 bolt axles iirc. i had a 82 chevy truck on 37" mt tires with the 10 bolts and they were the first part to break on a sandy hill climb early into that project. just figured if im buying milsurp i might as well get mil strength as well. as...
