hey u guys
I wanted to share with u my humvee project.
Truck is real war veteran, she went to gulf and back in 1991 still had the writings on it in Arabic,
She is 1985,
She had been parked in California desert fo who knows how long, half of parts were missing, engine was sealed solid,
No transmission or transfer case,
Body wasn't in good shape, I had to evict few residents.
But in Northern California we don't treat our veterans the way liberals do And this humve Is no different.
Every inch of the truck needed attention,
But we are not afraid of work.
And after months of sourcing parts and knowledge truck is almost done.
Engine came out of 2001 H1 from predator Motorsport who was putting duramax in there, Originally engine was setup for electronic injection pump, I converted to full mechanical pump
with Db2.
12 volt electrical system,
4l80e transmission runs runs with EZ TCU computer.
Manual glow plug heating system using Ford starter solenoid.
Body was lifted half inch using turbo diesel H1 hummer spacers to give room for the turbocharged engine.
Paint job is PPG 2016 Jeep Wrangler Color ( anvil )
I am expecting doors to arrive soon, some interior work is needed, She will be ready to hit the trails in 2 weeks.
This humvee has A1 suspension and light duty springs,
later humvees and H1 hummers have heavy duty suspension that can be hard on the driver and passengers if truck is not fully loaded to its capacity of 5500 lb.
Even though this humvee has light duty springs it still can handle 2500 lb payload, but it's much softer and absorbs all the rocks and bumps During off road conditions
truck weighs only 5200lb
Body is 300 lb , ( talk about being stable and low center of gravity )
Here are some before and after pics
