What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[OBX]

Stop the annoying gouging of the air intake side cover. Simply remove the right side hood latch, grind 1/8” metal from inside edge (see area marked in red). Repaint, re-install. Hood opens easier and no longer contacts the air intake cover.
Yes, I still need to repaint intake cover.

In a pinch, any nut can be converted to locknut with a hammer and a chisel. In a pinch any distorted thread locknut can be reused with a hammer & chisel too.

I took the truck on the left (as received) and changed it into the one on the right in three days.... Advil is my new best friend.

Stripped slant back corroded armor and treating with chelation agent. Hopefully ready for paint soon.

I’m not a big fan of bed liner but I would be tempted to spray the back with Line-X or something equal. I see trucks at auction and they are all rusted from the armor. Maybe POR15 would be good for the back also.

Yeah. Galvanic corrosion is real. Even a thin layer f corrosion protection would be an improvement.

Muriatic acid will clean it right up........... NOT FOR THE ACCIDENT PRONE TYPES!!! clean up and dilute with plenty of baking soda....... keep a 5 gallon pail mixed up first for first aid. Its nasty stuff but works wonders. A heavy piece of plastic to pool the piece in works, when through neutralize it in place... co2 and water remain. I bet I hear plenty about this one.......

See how the wheels pull up and down? Most likely they remove the hubs and substitute another drivetrain. It also won’t have good ground clearance.

Obviously not much HMMWV there, but really cool anyway!!

It was weird how the front wheels are not moving at all until well out of the water

I solved my rear-view mirror problem. I'd picked up a windshield mounted mirror but I don't want it on the glass- visibility is already too limited.

I used an aircraft clamp to mount it to the first support bar and it works perfect.

What are you talking about. We have unobstructed panoramic views from the front seat. LOL

Looks good,

Great Job! I love the look of the valley!

I have a pretty rusted up valley on the 1151A1 I am working on now. Have the manifolds out, IP out, Lines out, etc. What black paint/rust treatment did you use?

In the past month I got my m1123 titled and registered, replaced all the fuel lines, replaced the injection pump, painted the intake manifold and engine valley. Today I installed a soft top. Was finally able to drive down the street and back. Still need to check the hubs and replace the gear oil. Also, several lights that need fixin.

First I went at it with a dremel and a 3m disc to get as much rust off as I could, then I applied naval jelly and wire brushed it by hand. It looked pretty good after that. I used Rustoleum Engine Enamel for the paint.
