I’m at the point where I’m seriously considering repainting my truck, mainly because the existing paint is pretty faded. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t bother with a full repaint if it weren’t for the drastic color difference between the powder‑coated parts and the rest of the body. Right now...

I have spent a little time driving this around and working out the little details. This thing is so much fun. Going LS was definitely something worth doing. Got the turn signals to light up on the dash, as well as high beam and fuel guage. I had a really tough time getting the Holley LiDAR unit...

I could have gotten those, but in my opinion they should be welded on. So I got an A pillar with them welded on.

Almost finished mine, just need a new A pillar. My current a pillar doesn’t have the mounts on it for a top. I bought one I just need to pick it up. Not sure how you’re going to mount a custom fabbed roof since the subframe has holes in it for their roof to mount to… I guess you could weld them...

so youre making your own roof for it?

It’s not finished, but it’s good enough to take down the road. This thing absolutely Rips! What a blast of fun. I think every drive it gets better, the Holley is definitely learning. Smooth shifts all the way through 4th gear. Took it out to get some chow and over to my favorite spot in town...

Pretty much got the fuel system dialed in now. I decided I would route the fuel lines through the fuel tank body lift block, this worked really well. Also, I had an odd issue with the taillights I needed to troubleshoot. For some reason I couldn't get the hazard lights to work in the rear, I...

A few weeks ago I was working under the Humvee and kept smelling fuel. Aside from needed a fuel tank vent hose I realized I forgot to install the rubber o ring gaskets on the fuel pump mount. The original ones were still on but they were paper thin. I don’t think this is why I was smelling fuel...

Feeling American!

So I’m not sure if the front hood 2.5” body lift mounts are for an H1 brush guard or not. Couldn’t stand looking at those holes and also don’t find many of the brush guards appealing. So for $20 I got some rubber and made a push bumper. I’d still like to find a way to hide the lower portion of...

Ha! We actually had 6” of snow here early this year. That is incredibly rare though.

Still got some parts I’ve gotta get and some more to install but check this out! FYI I’m not done with the install yet, lots of little trim pieces to add, I just wanted to share some progress photos. The top and doors are made by a company out west called Pipe Dream Off-road. Bunch of really...

Got the truck outside waiting on parts to arrive, should be pretty cool, I’m pretty excited. I still have to go pick up a windshield frame from a buddy of mine which might hold me up… Anyways, I started to add more seats to the truck. That blue seat in the back I actually found on the side of...

While I absolutely love the look of a 2 door and troop seats it seems that a 4 man setup would be a lot more comfortable, so it’s time to strip it down. I’m also thinking of putting in a middle bench seat -that would make keeping the kids seated a little easier. Got some cool things planned for...

Swapped the front springs in. Surprisingly the only thing I had an issue with was getting one sway bar bolt back in. looks about perfect now. I’ll swap the shocks out later on.
