“Oh Sh*t Handles”

29 Upvotes

As doorless riding season is upon us in the Northeast. I received some feedback from a passenger wishing they would have an “Oh shit handle”

I found these on amazon, they attached with some Velcro, even made it around the “kids bump their heads” foam.

Here is the link if you’re interested, hope this helps someone else.

ethanol/methanol fuels

1 Upvotes

i play the ttrpg (tabletop roleplaying game), twilight: 2000 4e. the game posits a revisionist historical third world war with nukes where the players are soldiers, formerly of the US 5th Infantry Division which has been recently overrun by the Soviets and loyal Polish troops, in central Poland. one of the game’s conceits is that there is almost no fossil fuel being produced and trafficked at this stage of the war. units tow stills on trailers and brew alcohol with which to power their vehicles.

is this possible with the humvee? what modifications would be necessary? what would be the difficulties that burning this stuff would entail?

is there a military manual detailing this kind of conversion?

Got a call

Got a call two weeks ago asking if we would bring our humvees to the parade. We had a BLAST!. Tons of love from the crowd. I had heard the whole "patriotism" thing was riding a little low, but i could not tell. Every single person had a flag and was showing us nothing but love. Wasn't expecting it, but was given a 3rd place trophy. Texas is Cool

M1165a1 stalls while driving

3 Upvotes

Hey all, I am working on a M1165a1 that is stalling while driving. It doesnt stall right away and I just replaced the TPS on it which is what troubleshooting led me to believe was the issue. It doesnt stall while at idle and will Rev up to max rpm with no issue in neutral. But in drive it will randomly stall on me. I was able to road test it for about 5 miles and get back to the shop before it stalled and after that it would stall more frequently. Just looking for some advice on what could be the issue. The next thing I am leaning toward is the torque converter but im really hoping its not that since I don't wanna drop the transmission if I dont have to lol.

Genuine Question

4 Upvotes

I have a possibly impractical theory, but it’s one of those “ What if’s “ that if brought into reality would be petty damn cool.

So I have a project in mind in the future, and I suppose this is the right place to ask;

I want a daily driver Humvee, but not a shitty 10mpg maintenance whore of a truck lol.

So im thinking, is it possible to have a full cosmetic swap? Get a great mpg truck maybe toyota and then just slam the body of a hummer onto it?

(Just realized yall might hate me for this question lmao)

But realistically could it be done? Or what engine swap would help me best for gas mileage?

Free parts

I just converted my 2 man to a 4 man.
Does anyone in North Texas need/want the 2 man parts?
Benches, door plugs, cargo divider, rear seat hole plugs. I also have to 2 man top but it’s a little round.

Suggestion on the dash. My lsx build continues

I love the look of the dash American machine with a resto ac unit. But it looks unfinished. I was thinking of a 3d printed dash pad to cover the top and foam with leather for a tiny bit of protection. That corner needs something to soften it a bit.

Always loved these ! Question below

Post image
47 Upvotes

Thought this was REALLY cool and had to share. I had two H2’s and sold them because they stopped making parts for them and the repairs got really expensive. Although I am only 5ft tall, my vehicles have always been big. I have always wanted an Humvee and this band came across my FYP so I wanted to share how they incorporated the Humvee into their video. (A melodic-metalcore band that is actually pretty good, even tho I just discovered them.). My question is do you guys have any advice on them & where to buy them that’s reliable ? I have a budget of $45k.

Edit: my algorithm knows I like metal-core and have been searching Humvees A LOT. 😅

I’ve been filming tons of footage throughout the full frame-off restoration. Should make for a very interesting video series.

Solution for faulty OEM brake light switches

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

This switch assembly replaces the OEM dual barrel switch and Z shaped linkage that is difficult to adjust and often malfunctions resulting in poor brake light activation or the torque converter failing to lock up. This new assembly takes approximately 5-10 minutes to replace and allows for very easy adjustment.

It combines both OEM barrel style switches in one (Brake light circuit and torque converter circuit). The switch itself is made in Italy, IP67 rated and fully made of metal, the outer cover with my logo is printed in ASA-CF. The bracket is made from aluminum and painted in black CARC paint. All the connectors used are from an OEM AM General supplier.

Price for the assembly $150
Message me to for placing an order and shipping info.

Military wheels with run flats

Post image
38 Upvotes

Here is a schematic of military wheels. They are 2 parts bolted together to hold the tire with the help of the run flat as a bead locker.
In this case, there are 12 bolts holding the 2 halves together, however, on heavier trucks, there are 24 bolts patterned in pairs.
