That's no ordinary bumper; outstanding item you found there.
It looks great (and it'll get the job done, too; outstanding)!

Here is another wider shot. I drilled new holes in the top of the TMG supplied bracket, putting the mounting holes in the center of the width of the bracket. This allowed me to mount the bracket a little farther back from the surface. This let me nest the plate just behind the pad eye.

I added AC. Works....sort of.
Cools truck but not like an F350 Ford where cold air is blowing on my face.
8000 BTU min and I will probably mout the gen on a hitch mount rack.
Cant hear the gem on the highway. Can't hear the truck at a stoplight. Sort of cancel each other out !

Yes it had the fording kit. New wiring harness also. I figure when you are in there do what you can.

Took her for her first joyride last night! Gassed (well, dieseled) up along the way. Pulling into a gas station in a HMMWV is a surefire conversation starter.
She ran pretty well, and nothing fell off that I couldn't do without. I was startled the first couple of times the cooling fan kicked in, but thanks to this site I already knew it could be loud. Now I know what that noise is.
There weren't too many strange noises otherwise.
This weekend I will dig out that broken extractor in the trans pan bolt, go hog wild with the grease gun, do the minor lube points with 3:1 oil, and order seals for the hub open and inspect. I might also dig into the non-working horn issue, and figure out if it's electrical or mechanical.
Now that she's tagged and insured (hooray, USAA only added $10/mo to my policy to add a HMMWV) I will do occasional drives to get to know her and shakedown (literally) for longer drives.
Next weekend I will take my first ride with my 7yo son, I hope. He should love it!

We made it to the dunes and back. Fun stuff. Whoever says they don't do good in the sand is very much mistaken. Great off road truck in ANY terrain!

What's that, like an additional $0.33 a day?!
That there sounds pretty reasonable, nice deal.

And did you actually make it up that hill? Or did you get the front wheels on just to pose? That's some climbing, if so!

Apart from wanting a vehicle that I had when I was in the military, that's the reason I got mine - making memories. My son is the same age as your son and he helps me turn wrenches from time to time and absolutely loves going for rides.
