    Very nice Humvee. Im just north of Tulsa. What did you all do to it?
    The Humvee was a ton-o-fun, but was hot as he11 in the summer. Rolling w the X doors off and the rear curtain up helped, but stop lights were brutal.

    It was mechanically sound for the most part when I got it, but did have to wrench a little. It needed a new smart start box, a couple glow plugs were bad and needed a new wiper motor.

    I replaced the rotten top and found some old fiberglass genuine Xdoors too. I added four high back seats, a flip-down brush guard, steel rock sliders and the A2 rear bumper with a Rhino hydraulic spare tire carrier. I also put on aftermarket rims and some tires that were better suited for city driving (the OEM ru flats are brutally stiff).

    All in all it was a blast, but I knew that there would be major mechanical issues around the corner and I didn't want to be the owner of it when that happened.

    Naw man...that's great! Looks like you found a really good fooler there

    It's in quite a bit better shape than my 83 when I picked it up in Seminole last year:

    Thanks, it's not in bad shape but does need some work. Needs a grab bar, back fenders are cracked, and I'm thinking it might need a top end also. But it's pretty original and I'm happy with what I got for what I paid. The 2 stroke powerband is nuts though, its got a twist throttle and I'm not used to that, I accidentally cracked the throttle in 2nd and stood her up lol...I'm coming from mainly hardtails and Big Reds so I was taking it pretty easy...

    So glad to see you back on here and very happy about getting the 85r back. At some point you need to show detailed pics of the second gen.

    Its funny you mention that. I sold my first Mustang about 15 years ago and immediately regretted it. Lost track of it for 11 years then found it. The guy won't sell it though. Everything since then has been an unsuccessful replacement.
