My project Humvee finally finished!

Just a walk around of my 1989 humvee that I restored, sold this truck about a year and a half ago. Was a good daily driver! I recently bought a 2005 m1097a2 that I will be restoring so expect more hmmwv content!

[@ditchdigger2]

Nice. Had a 1114 I ran through Baghdad for a year. Oh that sound. Just love these machines.

[@TheCoralSniper]

Thank you for your service! I love these things too!

[@LWRC]

Love the industrial size blower and vents for the HVAC system!!! Instrumentation with pure analog gauges is top notch!!!👍👍👍

[@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures]

Great looking truck. Lots of nice additions. I like the sound foam on the ceiling and the larger rear window.

[@raycarlone2005]

Wow... amazing build! Would love all the details

[@TheCoralSniper]

I am planning to post another video of all the modifications I did under the hood. What details in particular were you interested in?

[@seanthornton2105]

Doors…where did you get those doors! Any other part sources would be great for those of us now curious!

[@wcmayborn7964]

Great work! Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

[@guyblew1733]

Nice looking. I need to get myself a used military humbv.

[@modificationnation73]

Looks awesome! I’m getting one this weekend!

[@TheCoralSniper]

Congrats! What year and model?

[@GTOGregory]

Nice job! Not over the top; just practical. The body doesn't have any dings or dents. The A/C is great and arm rests on the front seats is nice. I'm guessing it's a stock 6.2 liter.

[@TheCoralSniper]

Thanks! It actually has a 6.5 non turbo, had a refit in 2005, the 4l80e made a huge difference along with the new wheels and tires for daily driving!

Man that things fine!😊

[@vinayemmadi2234]

congrats brother....i dont know when iam gonna get mine...

[@benjilacombe7478]

I just stumbled accross this video, very clean build. Kinda strange my name is Benji Carlson but some call me Ben.

[@TheCoralSniper]

And you also like humvees?! Maybe we are twins!

[@benjilacombe7478]

@TheCoralSniper I went to a Christian elementary school growing up, there was another kid in my class Benji Carlson, how ironic is that...hehe.

[@Mike_Y.]

Thats beautiful, great job brother

[@jhhd1]

That’s really cool, great job.

[@Llamadosalvaje]

Beautiful!

[@walkerch]

Excellent work

[@alonzowitt5931]

Did you upgrade the powerplant? The 130hp just isn't enough..... Looks great though, you did a great job!

[@abo79dawood]

Beautiful

[@paullawrence1450]

Congrats, I want to build one someday

[@HotrodSerch]

Jim all of your builds are outstanding! Appreciate the attention to detail. What wheel and tire combo do you like to use ? What is the offset they look perfect. Thank you from sunny Florida. I enjoy the videos

[@TheCoralSniper]

Thanks! This truck had h1 factory wheels, so stock offset, tires are 37s. I think with the 3" body lift it looks great, but I'm planning on running a little bigger tires on my next build 👍

[@Console-COD]

Really awesome 💪😱

[@abc-ed1nr]

Very impressive my man. I noticed you had some sound absorbing foam as a headliner. I need to do the same thing for mine - do you feel like it has helped at all? Where did you get it and how did you attach it?

[@TheCoralSniper]

I used acustic foam from Amazon, sprayed it with headliner adhesive, it helped a little, biggest help was that dog house add on i did, the more you can insulate between yourself and the engine the better for noise reduction

[@vanglee84]

Love it ! ! !

[@gavryushenkoand]

Great result! I wonder, how much did this reconstructions cost?

[@TheCoralSniper]

I did it all on my own time

[@itsruf1]

You'll know whe he tries to sell it and asks premium pay for his "spare time".

[@bluespy4]

Nice what did you use for the interior insulation, you have a grey material and black. I need something like that gray one to stick and insulate

[@TheCoralSniper]

I bought these acoustic foam tiles from Amazon for the headliner, the floor and sides has adhesive neoprene sheets applied all around

[@davidsample2723]

Nice job man, where did you get the black rubber with the tread plate design (around the shifter) ?@@TheCoralSniper

[@TheCoralSniper]

@@davidsample2723 it's just rubber diamond plate, if you Google it you'll get a bunch of options, comes in a roll

[@davidsample2723]

Have you had any trouble with the acoustic foam turning loose from the roof? @@TheCoralSniper

[@TheCoralSniper]

@@davidsample2723 I sure did! I had to find a heat resistant adhesive and use lots of it to stop them from randomly dropping in the summer

[@garyorrock1729]

Ben: I noticed the Florida Lic Plates... I live in Florida & was told no Military Hummer are allowed Legal Street access. Only Off-Road & Parad access. Is yours only Off-Road access driving???

[@TheCoralSniper]

It had a normal and completely legal plate, there are many in Florida with them, dmvs are getting harder though here so some people just don't want to mess with it and go with dirt legal to get legal plates.

[@garyorrock1729]

@@TheCoralSniper Thank you for your reply....

[@umtduckhead]

Great looking truck. What color is it called?

[@TheCoralSniper]

It's called "helo drab" it's the army helicopter paint color

[@umtduckhead]

Sweet. Any idea a paint code and where you got it? I’m in the middle of RINO lining and painting my Humvee. I was torn between gray and green. This is the best of both worlds. Thanks again.

[@TheCoralSniper]

@@umtduckhead These are the numbers I could still read on the can unfortunately, if it doesn't work just buy one of the helo drab little jars of paint for models and take that in to a paint shop and they can scan and replicate it for you, that's how I got napa to make the paint for me. 53- 5774661 ID: 5774661v5

[@umtduckhead]

Thanks for the reply.

[@tduncan9938]

Very nice!!! Are those fiberglass doors?? Thanks

[@TheCoralSniper]

Yes, they are original x doors from military, little beat up but I worked on them a bit

[@tduncan9938]

Oh they look great!! so their metal doors, right?? or do the military make fiberglass doors??

[@TheCoralSniper]

@@tduncan9938 Standard military x doors are all fiberglass, I guess the armored ones would be steel but those seem harder to get your hands on as all humvees get de-militarized before going to auction. On my next humvee that I'm about to start I'll probably go aftermarket doors as these military ones are rare and aftermarket are nicer!

[@tduncan9938]

Hey you’re right I just looked it up they do have fiberglass doors in military. Sorry. Lol. Anyway, it looks great man.!!!

[@hummerguy]

@@TheCoralSniper I recently saw in dakota wood video that they were scrapping some x doors at the govplanet sight along with the armor

[@axelleiva243]

How the foam board you installed on the roof?. I was thinking of doing the same thing to my m1123 but was worried about how hard it would be to clean if it got dirty.

[@TheCoralSniper]

It actually worked pretty good for noise and insulation, I just bought acustic panels from Amazon and used headliner spray adhesive to stick them up. Never got dirty, headliners that are black and textured seem to be hard to mess up

[@medguy469]

The rear steel curtain with the large window. Did you build it? Or can you share where you purchased it from?

[@TheCoralSniper]

I built it and had a custom peice of glass cut to fit

[@abc-ed1nr]

Cool- what roof is that

[@TheCoralSniper]

I built it custom myself

[@Osakaenterprisellc]

Sir would like a roof done. Can we get in contact please

[@CORSU2A126]

[@louleone1032]

WAS THE QUICK 2 GEN 2 BOX HARD TO HOOK UP?

[@TheCoralSniper]

I bought the kit from black dog customs and it was pretty much plug play! Hooked up to a 4l80e transmission

[@louleone1032]

SO DOES IT REPLACES THE TCM?

[@TheCoralSniper]

@@louleone1032 my truck was a m998 so it had a th400 (no computer) transmission but I swapped in a 4l80e and needed the quick gen to control it

[@LuigiLeone-tw8hb]

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE QUICK 2 GEN 2?

[@TheCoralSniper]

I love it, shifted and locked up perfectly!

[@bestamerica]

' my favor humvee but the problem is NO have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights for turnning signals... better put 2 amber yellow light on humvee taillights plus put 2 bright LED lights on reverse

[@TheCoralSniper]

Yes it's not legal in some parts of the world without the yellow lights but it's legal here in USA with the red for turn signals, bright backup lights would be nice too! I agree!

[@stanislous137]

How much did it cost in total?

[@TheCoralSniper]

Alot! The x doors alone were nearly 4k!

[@perun814]

how much does a humawelike this go for

[@primitivoavila8555]

Wow, Ingay lang Sir.. Xcuse parang truck po...

[@ИванИванов-ь5в]

когда у меня будет такой же)?

[@royblades9956]

Clean that seat.the doors flex don't they ( ? ) fix it.get rid of the bulkhead behind rear seats.go full hardtop all the way.add side benches.get a padded roll cage.
