Unfortunately with HMMWVs there is always something that needs fixing (or so it seems.) I am checking it and many other points in the rigs before each trip.

I’m sorry for your loss. Loki has been bit and stung a few times… but he is stubborn…

@@Idaho_Humvee Oh it's okay. He had a long life and was surrounded with love. We had to put him down due to cancer. He was blind and deaf but had a younger golden retriever gal that guided him around. I'm 65 and still miss him. Best Dog Ever

Enjoy your Loki! A wonderful dog 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Yes he is. He is currently getting all sorts of love and attention on the couch.

Yeah he was very informative and so far I am pleased with the boxes.

Somewhat. New plugs and fuel that isn’t gelled will be your biggest help. The new box will allow you to control how many times and for how long you heat your plugs. Never more than 6 seconds at a time since that will burn up the plugs. With the old box and brand new plugs my ambulance started in -6f. Camotek box helps keep your plugs in good working order by not overheating them.

My theory is that it is to limit the heat coming into the cab during summer

Wow. Sounds like something bound up in there. Check your portals and make sure those are all up to spec

Awesome! I look forward to that!

Score one for the 3rd gen trucks!

About a week. And that is only because he was waiting on his supplier for the box to have it powder coated. Then it was custom built in a day, tested, packaged and then shipped. Quite reasonable.

Remember to double check those spindle nuts!

No broker for buying it. If you are talking insurance I just called haggerty directly.

@@Idaho_Humvee who did you purchase the M997 ambulance through? I misspoke previously and said broker instead of dealer

Idaho Motorpool in Fruitland

I found an ambulance that is running. It doesn’t have the rear doors, but he has not titled it yet and only has a sf97. If I remember right, it is difficult to take that form and title it because only the original person can do that, right?

I am not 100% on that. Mine came with a title already. Not having rear doors is very common. Finding replacements is difficult and expensive. The ones on mine are custom made replacements and are less than ideal.

Thanks!

General maintenance knowledge and a ton of google. The TMs are the go to source for diagrams and what not. Think of them as 1980s trucks with a few specialty parts. The M997A2s are great but they have no guts. I plan on trailering mine most of the way and then driving them in. But then again I am 4 hours from my favorite camping area with my truck… probably 12 with the ambulance lol

Interesting. Never knew that existed!

Those 5 tons are no joke! Only reason I don’t have one is because the parts weight. I don’t want to have to change a 400lb tire lol

Veterans Day parade

Well I am 5’6” so I guess that helps lol

Nope. That was in boise. This video is in Nampa.

@@Idaho_Humvee I’m up there twice a week and didn’t even realize there was more than one air field lol

Oh yes. Boise, Nampa, Caldwell all have airfields. Plus there are tons of little ones scattered around

@@Idaho_Humvee I’m headed up there now I’m gonna pay better attention this time

Thanks!

That would be a mounting spot for the jack

Awesome! Thanks!

Good luck with your project! Let me know how it goes!

Roughly 2 feet

That’s a good time, we got around a foot and it drifted pretty good but now the rain is screwing it all up.

Yeah the rain is making snow a thing of the past

So far it’s still going strong. Basically just run the line back on itself. Transmission to transmission for example. Then check all of your fluids and you are good to go.

@@Idaho_Humvee Thanks, amigo! I found some pics. Looks easy peesy. 😎🤙

It really is. With one exception. Getting your hands that far up there lol. Otherwise it’s just hose and hose clamps.

Yep I have put over 3k on mine. Good rigs.

It is a 2 person divider. I used to have the 2 person set up and just replaced the roof with the 4 person

(Different account lol) thank you for the response!

Thanks!

Treasure Valley

That’s one of the places on my list the mountains are so nice over there.

Yeah they are

Sorry to hear that!

Yeah there are some drawbacks with that. But the advantage is that I can basically straddle the jeep and SxS ruts and have a much nicer drive.

Just go nice and slow with it

Good luck! Let me know how it goes!

Absolutely! Can I also request some help? It is most likely pretty straight forward but I am by no means a mechanic. I am fumbling through this one part at a time. If you have time, could you show me how the windshield washer is set up on your humvee? During Demil they cut my lines and I feel like more is missing. Having a hard time finding info on it. Just a request, if you don't have time I understand. Thank you! @@Idaho_Humvee

Are you talking about the fluid lines to spray or the wipers and electrical lines? My fluid doesn’t work on either of my rigs yet.

@@Idaho_Humvee fluid lines and sprayers. Haven’t tested the pump yet. Wipers are working.

I will see what lines I have installed on my rigs when I get a chance

Interesting. I hadn’t thought about the effect on mileage. I haven’t changed it myself yet as I bought it already gone through and the mechanic is a friend of mine. I put about 3k miles on this rig since I bought it. I will probably swap fluid this spring and see how it all works out.

It hasn’t been cold enough here to test it yet. I am hoping to do so in January.

Finally tested the bag. Will have a video up shortly. Single digits on closed cell foam pad in a tent that was on snow. No issues.

This bag saved my life living in a truck during a Colorado winter.

Components added to the rig are probably $2k. Its hard to say though… I have lucked out on a few things. It’s the cost of the truck that will add up fast. There are good deals out there still though.

And if you don't mind me asking where you got those jerry can holders and what are these bench/fence thing called in the rear

The Jerry can holders are from the first generation of airlift bumpers only (from what i can tell.) if you go with an A2 bumper it won’t work. The “fence” things are cut down troop seat rails.

I'm 16 do you think this would be an ok purchase. Because I've been recently saving and I don't travel and I'm pretty much local. I've just been getting mixed results from people saying it runs normal and others saying it needs maintenance 24/7. I would like to know your opinion.

Most likely. Both Loki and I prefer the cold. There would be way too much insulation in this bag for summer use.

Thank you. I have considered something stronger but that means more weight. These are slow as it is…

@@Idaho_Humvee yeah I totally get it man-I have m998 with 6.2 /3 spd so I feel it

I built steel bumpers that resemble the military ones but way stronger. Alot cheaper too

What dash cam did you go with?

@@Idaho_Humvee auto-box T9 Pro. I just did a video on it. In fact once I figure out how to add a text over to my video there is a pretty decent discount code I need to add. ruclips.net/video/-A32ZyB_MtE/видео.htmlsi=aa_w5YPlj9xdXMFB

Napa can custom mix anything you want for auto. Just ask any branch. The mix guy is out of meridian

There are two places in the area that have experience with HMMWVs that I know of. The first is Idaho Motorpool in Fruitland. That’s where i bought my rigs from. The second is Stark Auto Ordnance in Caldwell. I do my own work unless it is something beyond my ability.

Idaho motor pool is pretty much done. He's auctioned off most of his stuff and rented out his yard. I've bought 2 humvees from Alex too. Your better off learning from RUclips, because most people won't give you the time of day.

Hers suffered some serious damage. Her suspension was seriously damaged as was the fender, hood and bumper. Assorted other things as well. A surprising amount of damage for a low speed impact.
