sharing my hmmwv restore/ repurpose for civilian use

[racing4funn]

Most everything has been removed painted or replaced. Most visible bolts replaced with stainless. Under the soft top is 1/2 inch aluminum sheets that i can walk on (dont really like softops and cant aford a hardtop and sheets were salvaged from a recycler). The inside was a DIY bed liner tan (Al's with their sound deadner). Exterior is Bear house paint sprayed on. Seats are cheapos for a jeep. All lights changed to led. A good buddy does hydro dipping and he did my dash. All new gauges.

Thought I would shair to give others ideas

What's up with front tires?

What's up with front tires?

The Humvee tires were installed all the same way by AM General so they are "supposed" to be that way, but when I mount tires myself, I flip them for one side so they look like they match as far as tread direction is concerned.

Interesting. I havent noticed that.. Surprisingly they ride true and reasonably quite

I don't know if the tires are "supposed" to be that way. Goodyear says they are directional, so I lean in the direction of being too lazy to care which way they are going when they are mounted.

Apparently, when driving there isn't a lot of noticeable difference which way they are mounted though.

It took me quite a while for my local tire seller to come up with four which would be turning the right direction. I don't put many miles on my HMMWV, so they will be on for years and I wanted them to look correct. I didn't want to be constantly reminded that they looked wrong if I didn't wait to get it right.

My HMMWV also has a way of attracting stray children. I haven't found a solution yet.

Nice truck. Simple/clean/pretty awesome.

Best,

Is that part of a fuel sender access hole?

I've never enjoyed the realtree-style photographic camouflage, but I really dig everything else. You've set it up in a way that makes gloss look good on these. My HMMWV has far too many holes in it to think about going for a nice, pretty, glossy civvy paint job. The camouflage does wonders of hiding the damage.

I like it.

What did you have to do to get the seats to fit?
How much were they?
