Edit: I totally went through the McDonalds drive through like this 🤣

Got the bend in there. Gonna test fit it tonight and then hopefully powder coat tomorrow

Got gardening supplies!

What he said, those are for the rear doors. You should NOT need to drill holes or modify your truck.

Theres a chicken shield drawing floating around the internet, I used that but had to modify it to work with my setup. My clearances are different because I dont have an actual turret and I'm running a short riser, so I had to make my shield a few inches shorter. My shield is made from 1/4...

I would not buy hmmwv parts from ebay, buy from a reputable source such as mac motors.

Thats the best case scenario. Hit the right bump or god forbid a rollover and lets hope you get out before your humvee is a pile of ashes.

Made some progress on the chicken shield

The newer ones (ECV's and REV's, such as my m1151) will accept standard soft doors as well as standard x doors. This is because all of the armor has been removed. If the armor was still installed they would need straight x doors (and soft doors would not work). Edit: There is one caveat. The...

Yes. The strikers are different from hard doors to soft doors, but you shouldn't have any issues besides that.

I'm amazed you can hear a shackle rattling over the sound of a detroit diesel.

Where did you get that!!???

Yep thats typically how I do it in normal vehicles, just didnt know if the humvee was different. Back when I had a 6.2/3 speed I remember people warning about "overspinning" the engine.

What are your thoughts on downshifting while driving down a mountain road? Okay to shift into 3rd to save the brakes? Asking specifically for an ECV truck.

Great thought. Either way, it seems like a good idea to verify that the tach is accurate before doing anything else.

Started fabricating a mount for an armor plate I'm about to make. I had to weld the mounting flange on my UPA because it didn't have one. I'm on track to have a turret(ish) and armor plate for less than a grand. Thanks to @BLK HMMWV for the dimensions. @jake20 what angle did you use to...

Mine are a little bit off, even after replacing them. You get used to it lol.

I've noticed for awhile that the trucks in Georgia have windshields with the old style retainers, theyve been doing that for at least a year. They also include the roof armor, while the ones in Yermo do not. Who knows the reasoning.

Well technically you are supposed to recover any remaining refrigerant before disconnecting any hoses.

Sure, it can get complicated. But in my experience many problems come down to leaks. If you can get good at finding and repairing leaks, and then properly recharging, its a good foundation for fixing many issues.
