Hey Dave,
I am still driving it and using it as a family adventure vehicle. The only major issue I ran into was that the started ground some teeth on the flywheel and that needs to be replaced. I’ve got almost 8k miles on it.
I finally got the rack from the Tacoma modified to fit the GMV. The taco bed was longer and much narrower so I had to get some new cross rails. Everything worked out pretty well if I do say so myself.
I got the interior substantially complete
- Boat carpet
- Corbeau Baja JP suspension seats
- 4-point harnesses
- USB plugs in the dash
- Ram mounts for phone and tablet.
- Motorsports soundbar
Next will be figuring out how to make a tent rack from a Tacoma fit on a very short and very wide bed.
I made some progress on the truck;

- New composite X-doors
- LED lights all around
- New injection and lift pumps
- Airlift bumper
- Luverne style brush guard
- Custom Coat two part ‘bedliner’ paint

After replacing all the hoses, fluids, and rubber boots on the truck, she runs like a top. The truck has 830 miles on a rebuilt engine and 4L80 transmission. All but one glow plug was wrecked, so she smoked a bit. It makes a great can hauler.
Years of reliable operation from my Tacos has convinced me that I need more pain and suffering in my life, so I bought a HMMWV. It started with the 3rd kid surprise and the need for a larger back seat, so here it goes.
