    Please Don't Squeeze The HMMWV! AKA Used My Visa To Make A SuperCharge

    Banks also has a bolt on, they claim 60HP and 115lb-ft at the real wheels and 19% more MPG I will check if this is still available, this might be a good substitute

    Please Don't Squeeze The HMMWV! AKA Used My Visa To Make A SuperCharge

    Now i'm curious, I did some checking last night, apparently the 6.2L block is better than the 6.5L for this kind of project, only the pistons might be of concerns if you have to much pressure Now that I'm done with the suspension project on my Humvee, this might be a good winter one. Keep us...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    The install is complete, I will call this one a success, the ride is amazing, so nice to be able to adjust as you are driving . I only had one concern, like I stated before, the kit came with 60' of tubing, after talking with Tom Cepek, he commented that another Humvee owner had the same issue...

    Black rhino wheels

    Mine are a bit bigger, but the -44 offset is not too bad, the less offset you get , the more the wheel will stick out 20 X 12 with the -44 offset, Nitto's Ridge Grappler 38 X 13.5

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Got more done tonight, all of the wiring is done. Both rear shocks are installed and plumbed in as well as the LF shock, the only problem is that I'm short of the brake tubing, followed the guidelines, min 8ft for the rear and min 6ft from the compressor to the valves and you have to have some...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    The decision has been made, (no haters please) Cepek GT shocks and controler are on the way. I spoke with Tom and decided to go ahead with his product, this should be fun Once installed I will provide pictures and a review As usual, to be continued....

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Well the piggy is not full of $$$ As the saying goes, there's just so much lipstick that you can put on a pig, at the end it's still a pig. So, no matter how much cash I put on the Humvee, it will still be a Humvee Considering the options availabe fo a better suspension, the options availble...

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    No sponsors for me. Just want a nice ride. There is a cost associated with anything. Yes about the $$$ but if it works, then the $$$ is not an issue

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Yes and as usual I can see the $$$ flying away Just had a 20 min talk with Tom of GT, so I will mull on it a few days, you are probably right, they seem to be the right options to go with the new coils And to add to the issue, I also need a new hub portal for the rear.... TBC.....

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Looked up the Cepek shocks, they do bolt on directly, Iand you can adjust them manualy, the other options is to get a controoler to adjust them on the fly. Moe decisions....

    Humvee shock absorber and spring options?

    Nice, but I can get gas shocks that will bolt in place for the same price, the cepek one will have to be bolted on the outside of the coils, unless I'm reading it wrong ? But I also like to look at all options, with a bit of tinkering, you could bolt on something that is more budget friendly for...
