Size MATTERS!!! HummVee H1

[Rolex]

Thanks for asking, but other than a redo on the driver's dash, this is temporarily on hold while I pursue a couple of heli builds.
I'm still open for independent 4wd suspension front and rear suggestions.

 

[chip cross]

He Rolex they finally made your wheels

[slowngreen]

man, those would be perfect imo but thats alotta bones!

 

[Rolex]

WOW!!! I can't believe it! 2.2 Humm-V wheels.
Excellent! Thanks for that link Chip. It's a MUST have.

 

[NCNitro]

Those would definitely be perfect for this build.

 

[Rolex]

When you first pointed them out, NC, they were only in 1.9.
These are the stockers. Gotta' have 'em.
I don't know if you read the info on them, but it's a 45 to 60 minute build on each one.

 

[NCNitro]

I guess that would cut in to you waxing and polishing time huh.

What tires are you thinking of going with?

 

[hamz9561]

You might try these, they are simialr to some of the tires that they used on the Hummers when I drove them in the army:

[NCNitro]

Those are exactly the tires I was thinking would look great on this project.

 

[Rolex]

Those tires are sweet. They look very similar to a set I was looking at in HobbyTown. Now that I'll have stock wheels, I have to have some equally official looking tires.

 

[NCNitro]

Too bad they don't make the mud pluggers in 2.2

[hamz9561]

I know, that's what I thought, too.

 

[Rolex]

Bummer. They would have been just perfect.

 

[volcanix]

this thing finished yet id love to see some pix

 

[Rolex]

I'll be ordering the Humm-V wheels and the Rox-Lox tires for it in a few days. Other than that, there won't be any more progress on it till I get the right independent suspension rear and front end so I can start on the chassis.
The interior is finished, and I still have the lights to hook up, but the body is close to finished, also.
I just moved it yesterday and man, that thing is huge.

 

[slowngreen]

That'll be sweet Ralph! I love the Lox look and they seem to perform well also.

 

[Rolex]

Who cares about performance? It's all about how it looks on the shelf.

 

[Rolex]

UPDATE....

I'm running a little late on this project...(women can be very distracting) but I just ordered these bad boys!!!

Back to tire hunting for the best badazz look that's still close enough to pass for military. Put up your suggestions.

I was leaning towards the Rock&Die tires for that great tread design, but the military doesn't have little skulls stamped all around the tire.

Those are pretty cool.

It's a shame they don't make the mud pluggers in 2.2, those would be perfect.
