We are going to put in an NV4500 5-speed into the M1165A1 Humvee, which I think is going to make it into an even more wild truck than it already is... Turbo Diesel, Aluminum body, Fiberglass front, Portal Axles, and then 3-pedals... In addition to an exhaustive list of other upgrades and service work.

humvee and 993 at the new house must be so cool
Hey, well I have to ask why you want to make it manual?
Next your not quite the first. The first factory built HMMWV or should I say clone, the Dongfeng EQ2500 series truck. They call it the Proud Warrior. These trucks first started out as a 1 to 1 clone. Now they are updated to there standards with a Cummins and a manual transmission. But have seen manuals in the older trucks.
Now there is a guy on face book, i will have to look his name up. I think he call his truck Dirty-vee or some form of the variation and has a LS swapped manual. He has posted pictures and videos of the truck running and driving. His solution for the shifter was similar to the shift arms under a front wheel drive or mid-engine car.
I would recommend a body lift for the truck. This will greatly help with exhaust and fitting bigger turbo in stock location. I like the lift from Anvil Motorsports. The lift also raises the rear bumper, so there is no gap. Talk yo Justin.
I currently am in the process of swapping my hmmwv over to H1 interior. Using parts off of a H1 body, H1 interior, an new parts from hummer parts guy.
If i can help you find any thing let me know.
This is interesting to me. We wheel out in Alaska and while I find the turbo 400 boring it is dependable and easy to manage while rock crawling and working through obstacles. I’m curious how this is going to perform off road.
I'm doin the same thing! I though I was the only one !!
Just found your site...I love Eichler too. In my case I took about a year off and my wife and I lived in a trailer while I designed and built a small post and beam home. Eventually I ran out of money and credit and then I went back to work while my wife supervised workers on site. Four years later when it was done I didn't want to see it anymore and sold it. Somebody got a great deal on a stunning little post and beam built with huge beams and with mortise and tenon joinery. I really appreciate the building, the design, the creativity it required, and I still consider it a major life achievement. But I am probably happier not being there.
Too real and I'm still trying to unload the baggage and severe strain that building this house has caused. At least you and your wife are still together after doing all of that, which is a major testament.
@@CornerBalanced Just to share a bit more...about once a year the house pops into my mind. It really was stunning - a new super-insulated timber frame hand-built to last for centuries. Then I think about how the money I sold it for was a great down payment on a house in an (overpriced) location which better matched my life. The timber frame was built where i could get property and build - I was a fish out of water. And I've accomplished a whole bunch of things since then, and been around people that I probably wouldn't have been if I'd stayed living in that more rural area (I'm a geeky computer guy, and apparently I thrive around similarly geeky nerds.) So my regrets disappear fast. All my relatives loved visiting me there, and they seem to miss it more than I do now. And, yeah, a house is important, but looking back I can see that being in the right place with the right people was far more important for me. Wish you the best in figuring out your future.
There's a video with a guy that has a NV4500 in his humvee, but it seems like it'll just make it a pain to lock the diffs since you need your foot on the brake to lock it up.
Link to vid?
@@CornerBalanced This was quite some years ago, if I find it, I'll let you know
Do you still have the Porsche? Would you build another 86?
Yes and no I would not build another 86
Micha Wolfe has a manual humvee. Lots of heavy mods on hers

@@CornerBalanced this is why we're friends
If you remove bump from inside and floor would be flat then it will be luxury
Do you still have the 993?
Yeah
braketthrottle will be fun 😂

Didn’t someone say this mechanic was a hack?
