Awesome video. You did one thing that made me cringe so I’ll give a piece of safety advice for your firearm mount…if you are carrying round in chamber the weapon is placed into the mount AFTER you are seated, otherwise if placing into the mount before you get in you need to leave the chamber empty (because your head is right over the muzzle as you enter and exit the vehicle). I always had weapon in hand and then secured in mount after seated. Two reasons for that safety brief is because something can get hung up in the trigger entering or exiting the vehicle and NEVER trust the safety, as they CAN and sometimes DO fail. Glad to see that you got that thing running man. Can’t wait to see what you do to it next.
Ah a fellow bren enthusiast. Good on you
From building AK parts kits with questionable QA standards in a dorm room to owning a beautiful property, fleet of military vehicles and having enough ammo to mag dump into the bushes. You sir have made it :)
thanks!
Thanks for the video as being a new humvee operator this is very helpful
great vid, you always make everything look so easy
thanks for the video, I will soon go to a base in Germany where I will do maintenance of these vehicles and this kind of videos help me. thanks.
Hold the oil container sideways so the air can displace the volume vacated by the oil without such a violent change in flow rate.
You can replace a difficult hose more easy if you tape them together and pull the old one out and it pulls the new one in place of it
Good video. I am not trying to be a nag I am a shop teacher - Tech tip. Adjustable wrenches like channel locks, oil filter plyers and pipe wrenches are directional. If you are going to use them on the drain plug, you might want to try the other way. One way the jaws get pushed apart and strips bolts and the other way they are stronger. The way you tightened it was obviously the best way. Tech tip 2 Pouring the antifreeze sideways will stop glugging while pouring. I like the end where you just throw some lead out there. I wish I lived in the country where I could just do that in my back yard. :)
Nice video, nice songs. Never heard that before.
Good video! Yes Dakota Wood is a good pro for HWMMV. I met him in person in Germany a few years ago🙂
hopefully some people got the song references between the oil change and coolant change

I got the Chinese song reference
Enjoyed your video. My HMMWV had a blinking start light and the smart start box went about a month after that. You may consider replacing the box and perhaps glow plugs. You may already be planning that but thought I'd share. Enjoy your new ride!
yup, that is indeed something I have planned for it. Glow plugs are deff not working and if it's cold it takes a minute to start up since I gotta use the starter in a few second increments.
@@bfgmoviesI would go with the aftermarket start box with the optional key switch and maybe the remote preheat switch. They are almost $900 but we’ll worth it since you control the duration of the preheat sequence (3 seconds recommended ) replace the glow plugs and keep a spare set off hand. Be prepared for the unexpected. BTY, vertical fore grip on a semi?
What type of Steering wheel and coolant did you use on your Humvee ?
The music on the background is beyond amazing 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Looks good! You should try mounting your mg53 to it for lels
Love the new content.
Hey very informational video!! So I just got my first Hmmwv and it didn’t come with no power steering gearbox…. I have a new one, but don’t know where the lines from the gearbox go could you tell me please ?? I know one goes to the power steering but where’s the other one go? Thanks
Why kind of armored vehicle was the other one and how u get it?
Can you make a VZ61 build vid???
When will you build more aks?
RUclips started censoring those videos
Your start box looks fried. Pull your glow plugs and check them out. Willing to bet you have a problem from how that wait light is flashing.
I figured the glowplugs needed to be replaced, but if the box itself is fried that would just destroy the new ones right? I guess I'll need to figure out if the box is fine or not.
@@bfgmovies YES! I literally just made this mistake. New plugs, turns out box was bad… fried the new plugs. 70$ down the drain for no reason. Check Box first then replace plugs!
@@jesserinaldi7952 awesome thanks for the info I'll look into that!
@@jesserinaldi7952 I think I probably done the same thing lmao, I replaced the plugs and now I think I got one plug not working. Its back to having light smoke on a cold start and taking a little longer to crank. I knew I should've replaced the box because I only had 2 good plugs before I changed in my newer ones. I guess being cheap isn't always smart, I'm hoping that it didn't fried the plugs
did you recognize, that your whole front looks crooked, because your winchplate is not bolted? and maybe not shoot a 15k feet caliber in a sight obstructed direction? i praise the easy lifestyle though.
Was that an 805
yes
@@bfgmovies lucky guess. Meshaco mentioned you again in today's video.
I don't know why I wasn't a sub.
Thanks for the content
Please tell me you didn't use walmart crap fluids in that rig???!!! I know the coolant was, couldn't tell which oil. If you don't want to have to replace that engine, you need to up your basic maintenance game
Great video. The obnoxious Arabic music does not match the video.
