    Visited North Georgia Corvette and Muscle today - fiberglass hard doors

    Great analysis. Just keep in mind, the cost of the truck is just the admission fee. The cost of parts and any labor is the real effort in this journey.

    Lifecycle status for HMMWV in military?

    This may explain the lack of REV trucks in the auctions as of late. Maybe this can help REV trucks keep their value?

    1167 engine noise sounds like a song.

    It could be the fan shroud or the generator shroud. I will check it. Thank you

    1167 engine noise sounds like a song.

    Please watch the linked video and listen to the low ringing/whistling sound. It sounds like a maybe a something rattling or metal skimming something. At first I thought it was the fan touching the shroud but I adjusted that as best as could be and still hear the song. Any thoughts on what this...

    Making use of the onboard 400 Amp generator

    Don't want to use a lithium battery in a hmmwv. Water and Lithium Batteries do NOT play well together. Any other deep cycle battery alternatives that will work well in a hmmwv application?

    Blue Body spacers degrading and crumbling

    The front are the most challenging id say. Also, without lifting the body in the air to more easily get to the mounts you may have to drop the exhaust to get to the driver side b pillar mount. I did a frame off body lift at the same time so mine may have been somewhat complicated by that. It...

    Winter tire rims/wheels recommendations?

    To my knowledge the offset on the std oem rims is +50 not -50. I think cepek is the only mfg who makes a +50 offset in the hmmwv bolt pattern. As others have said a more std wheel size will give you more options.

    Blue Body spacers degrading and crumbling

    What a mess these were. Thankfully, I got them swapped out. Sheesh. Shame on the company who provided these to our military.

    Corbeau Sport Seat Fitment M1165A1

    I used the trail cat in my A2 Truck. That truck had the seat bases that are essentially a part of the frame of the truck. What truck do you have? That might help.

    MRAP turret in an HMMWV?

    There are several different turrets floating around. Do you have the slewing ring? The black ring that is sometimes left in the truck. It acts as an adapter of sorts for various types of turrets floating around nowadays.

    Where to connect additional electronic devices?

    It is only on the SWITCHED power. Meaning when the ignition is on you have power.

    Where to connect additional electronic devices?

    For common off the shelf consumer electronics you can run switched power to an Orion 24v to 12v step down. Run the 12v power to a fused block. Run the commercial accessories you need from the fused block.

    Anyone test their infrared blackout light under NVGs?

    Anyone test their infrared blackout light under NODs? Did it work for you? What was the range the light illuminated under Nods?

    Making use of the onboard 400 Amp generator

    Thanks for this feedback. I also like @155mm idea of 24v to 120/240. Thoughts on isolated fused circuits? Probably run 4 or so. What's optimal?
