    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Hey @Autonomy_Lost we kinda match 😂

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    That’s pretty nifty, wonder if there’s something similar that can be bought as an adjustable retention system. I’ve been considering an 1152 build as I just sold my pickup 😋

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I’m running a PA400ST intercom with 4 avcomm headsets. Works pretty great overall and runs on 9-33V. Working on a way to give the gunner seat its own intercom control with a push to talk. I’ve hooked the radio output of the intercom to a cheap baofeng radio, so anyone in the truck can talk to...

    Same thing happened on a 400A I had on an 1151, replaced it with a 200. I tried finding the parts for a 400 but good luck with that, 200s are much more plentiful heh

    Also, just painted another truck interior with Rapco 383. Harbor freight $15 HVLP gun 5 parts paint to 1 part xylene ratio Sprayed very nice and evenly, very happy with the coverage.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Awesome, what’d you use to replicate the measurements and how did you cut it out? Your setup looks slightly bulkier than mine, I had to keep weight in mind with my older style turret bearing. Don’t think I ever posted pics of my finished one either. I basically copied it off an existing steel...

    In other news, here’s some fancy upholstery I made. Real smooth plywood covered in dynamat, then carpeted across.

    Yea it was very apparent on mine. Open the hood and rev the engine with your hand on the injection pump throttle lever, you’ll find out pretty quick if it’s the alt.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Oh man I can’t even complain about the 200s, the 400s really suck. You can’t get the fuel filter out, you can barely reach glow plugs and injectors, they start eating through the body harness after a while, and I personally don’t know anyone who needs an alternator that makes 10Kw lol. Maybe...

    Bullet proof windshield

    Yours looks like the non-knockout style. It fits in a standard windshield frame, though I don’t know how warm and fuzzy I feel about using the standard thin retainers that go around the front for non armored windows. The standard size windshield gasket also fits around the metal lip around it...

    GovPlanet Bizarre Truck Configuration

    Alright that's good to know, I was figuring that at least someone somewhere was putting these on in hopes that people bid crazy amounts simply because the truck has windshields, same way they lose their minds when they see "150 miles" on the odo. I spoke to guy a few months back who had won a...

    Yep the several I’ve seen were all govt EUC required

    GovPlanet Bizarre Truck Configuration

    Yea I’m just trying to figure out why clearly demilled trucks have new non-ballistic windshields and retainers lol

    GovPlanet Bizarre Truck Configuration

    Hey all, Scrolling through listings on govplanet, I'm seeing that some turbo trucks that very clearly had armored windshield now have regular windshields. These don't look old and ratty either, it looks like they were freshly installed windshields and retainers, right after the demil process...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Nothing like watching paint dry. Paint codes for the curious: Rapco 383 Green Rapco 911 Flat Black Rapco Red Oxide Zinc Phosphate Primer Will throw these on tomorrow and see how they look, it’s bizarre how gently you handle things after painting 🤔 Might throw some pattern on the shield but...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Finished up my aluminum gun shield, just needs to be painted now. Definitely half of the weight of the steel one if not less. I made the pintle attachment arm from steel for strength but the entire shield piece is aluminum. Will see what the wobble is like when driving, the bearing is much...

    Did you come across new frames/glass or are you restoring an old set of frames and putting new glass in?
